"Look, those people are professionals. I think if these people are allowed to collect abalone, they must be good hands. +" After the Shenlong stopped, when Han Kongque and Bo Xiangka were brought on board, some people wearing
The man in the diving suit jumped into the sea.
These people must also be people who go to the sea, but what they fish is not abalone and conch, but geoducks.
Those people wore diving goggles, large lead weights, and carried a gun. This was a high-pressure water gun connected to the ship. They relied on it underwater to break away from the sand and dig out large geoducks.
First mate Lao Yang carefully maneuvered the fishing boat and slowly docked at the small dock on the Shenlong. The fishing boat with a length of more than ten meters was so inconspicuous on the Shenlong. It can also be seen from here that the Shenlong is
How huge.
As soon as they boarded the Shenlong, the two saw someone emerging from the water and reboarding the ship.
"Did you see the basket in the diver's waist? He returned home fully loaded in less than five minutes. He had several of these things in his waist. No wonder this cold and clean sea area is so attractive." Boshanka said.
This diver indeed returned with a full harvest. He had only been in the water for four or five minutes and brought back a lot of harvest. At this time, a small fishing boat had just been put down on the Shenlong.
Fishing boats for fishing geoducks are still suitable for small fishing boats, which are more convenient for divers to get on and off the boat. The stern of such a small boat carries the oxygen bottles used by divers, wetsuits, and lead weights, as well as divers fishing for geoducks on the seabed.
When harvesting clams, you need to use a high-pressure water gun and a nylon mesh bag for geoduck clams.
The captain was left behind. Anyway, they had already gained enough from their trip to sea, so naturally they were not in a hurry to return to port.
When the first batch of geoducks was delivered to the Shenlong, the captain immediately started processing them.
"These are all A-grade geoducks!" The captain exclaimed in surprise when he saw those golden geoducks with long trunks.
The length of the trunk (siphon) of these geoducks is twice or more than the body. The nose is very thick and thick, and the flesh is dense. The color is golden or light yellow, and it can be clearly seen that the shells of these geoducks are relatively thin.
, the color is white, and some are gray.
At this time, all these geoducks were slurping water non-stop, looking very lively.
The newly caught geoducks are splashing water out as hard as they can, as if doing so can frighten the natural enemies. Of course, they are probably frightened.
Although the captain is not a professional chef, he is better than many senior chefs in handling seafood. At this time, the captain is already preparing to start processing geoducks in an orderly manner.
The freshly caught geoducks are sprayed with fresh water. At this time, they taste the most crispy, so I started practicing.
The captain first used a knife to cut along the edge of the geoduck shell, removing the meat and internal organs of the geoduck, then lightly blanched it with hot water, and then lightly soaked it in ice water.
He can easily remove the outer skin of the geoduck, and carefully use a scrubbing brush to remove the yellow color on the surface. Then he cuts the lower end of the geoduck's neck into two sections. The neck meat is suitable for sashimi and eating raw.
The meat below is relatively soft and can be fried or made into soup.
After the two tubes of the geoduck are clearly seen, the captain slides them open from top to bottom. The meat can also be sliced directly. In this way, the clam slices will be larger, and he can also slide them open again.
, and using the slicer method to slice the geoduck at an angle can produce very thin crispy slices.
Of course, these geoducks can also be eaten raw. Just put them in ice water, shake them a little, take them out and put them on a plate, and you can eat them directly.
At this time, there were two dipping sauces placed next to the clothes. One was soy sauce and green mustard, and the other was a sauce he mixed himself. This was a soup made by the captain using the soft meat behind the geoduck clams.
“Geoduck is great whether it’s made into sashimi, hotpot, or soup. Every way you make it, you can appreciate the freshness and sweetness of geoduck, which is impressive. That’s why
It’s worth a lot of money,” the captain said while handling it.
"So many ways to eat it? So what's the best way to make it?" Han Peacock asked with a smile.
The captain said slowly: "There are many ways to eat geoduck. The most delicious way is of course sashimi, which can retain the crispness of the clam meat. When eating, dip it in a sauce with mustard. The strong mustard is just right."
Bring out the freshness and sweetness of clam meat.
Some people also like to eat hotpot in winter, but when cooking hot geoduck dish, it is better to cook it quickly, rather than overheating, otherwise the clam meat will easily become old and stale, and the taste will be much worse, so it is best to use a slotted spoon to serve the hotpot.
, add the boiling soup base for more than 10 seconds and quickly heat it up, so that the original flavor of the sashimi is not lost."
"Look at this. This is a small geoduck. Isn't it cute?" The captain picked up a geoduck. This one looked like an ordinary shellfish, not like an adult geoduck.
Alien.
"This is when geoducks are small. We need to pay attention to cultivating them from now on. You know, just fishing geoducks is not enough. Because the growth period of geoducks is too long, it basically takes 20-30 years to grow up, so
Every geoduck we eat is hard work!”
Han Peacock nodded and said: "Yes! Nowadays, we are talking about the sustainable use of nature. I heard that local fishermen in the United States and Canada have used many methods to multiply geoducks."
"Well, many people here know this. You should know that anyone who discovers a geoduck habitat can manage and breed it themselves, so they attach the most importance to it," the captain said.
"How did they do it?" Boshanka asked.
"Generally, small geoducks are first cultivated, then released into ideal sea areas in a planned manner, and then they are observed to grow after a few years. In this way, the uniformity of this batch of geoducks can be achieved," the captain said.
Although he does not have a geoduck habitat in his hand, many captains he knows do. After all, there are too many geoduck habitats here. Although there are a lot of them, this thing is not cheap, so no matter who it is,
If you occupy it, you will cherish it.
"This requires a strong government. As long as there is legislative protection, coupled with the supervision and coordination of various industry associations, we can naturally maintain the healthy development of an industry." Boshanka said.
This is particularly important in the protection of wild marine resources, and Korean peacocks also know it.
In order to maintain the sustainable use of wild geoduck resources, the Canadian government stipulates that the annual geoduck harvest quota is 1% of the total proven geoduck biomass, currently approximately 1,600 tons, and is evenly distributed among
55 fishermen.
There is no clear fishing period for fishing geoducks. Fishing can be done all year round. Fishermen can decide when to fish and how much to fish based on climate, water temperature and other natural conditions and market prices, as long as the annual fishing volume does not exceed their annual quota.
That is, unused quotas can be transferred among these fishermen for a fee.
In addition, in order to replenish wild geoduck resources in a timely manner, the association also funds a certain number of geoduck seedlings to be artificially bred every year.
Resources can be restored faster.
This system has now been implemented on Peacock Island, and because there are twelve owners in this sea area, there are rule breakers. I am afraid that this is the main reason for the large-scale military operation on Peacock Island.
By this time, Han Kongque had already figured it out. He had formed a huge community of interests, and Chen Jiayi and the others had tied up too many vested interests. In fact, this collision was the collision of these two interest groups.
If it was a year ago, the interest groups on Han Peacock's side would definitely not be able to touch Chen Jiayi and his eleven family members, but now, after rounds of rapid expansion, the Peacock Island consortium is really not afraid of them.
They had just finished processing a geoduck, and before Han Peacock could taste it, Chen Jiayi, Long Lin, Cheng Jun, Liu Mingyu and others came over.
"Coming?" Han Kongque stood up, not knowing what to say.
Chen Jiayi smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that our meeting would be under such circumstances."
Deng Hui came out from behind, came over and patted Han Kongque on the shoulder a few times: "It's not bad to meet like this. Who said those grandsons are not authentic?"
Han Peacock shook his head and said: "Sit down and eat something together!"
"Is this a geoduck?" Deng Hui smiled and sat directly next to Han Peacock.
"I want this big one." Long Lin and Han Kongque were not too polite, nor did they get angry over this incident. His expression was more natural than Chen Jiayi's.
Cheng Jun's face was much more serious. Han Kongque shook his head helplessly and ignored him.
These two large geoducks were divided one by one by Long Lin and Deng Hui.
But Han Peacock had no choice but to use his own knife to make enough food and clothing. He sliced the geoduck into thin slices and mixed it with the juice made by the captain, and then he could have a feast.
"It tastes really good. No wonder this thing is so expensive." Deng Hui said.
Long Lin also said while eating: "It's much more authentic than the ones made in our restaurant, but the appearance of this thing is not very popular."
"This thing was first discovered in the United States and Canada. It turns out that the locals never eat these things. It was only later that more Chinese people came there that they started to eat them." Deng Hui also talked while eating.
Chen Jiayi said: "There are also policy reasons for this. Although the weird-looking geoduck is difficult to attract the attention of local American diners, before China lifted its import ban on U.S. West Coast shellfish products, it was rarely seen in China.
of.
When the domestic ban on the import of shellfish products from the West Coast of the United States was lifted, 'catching' geoducks changed from a daily pleasure for American locals to a 'gold mining' machine."
"These are emperor clams, they are definitely valuable." Long Lin quickly finished one, and then asked the captain to get him another one.
Although what Dragon Scale said is very general, you still have to admit that what he said is reasonable. The appearance of the geoduck first makes people have to admit that it is not unreasonable for it to have the nickname of "Emperor Clam". (To be completed
