King crab, also known as stone crab or rock crab, is a crustacean of the Stone Crab family. It is not a real crab. They are mainly distributed in cold sea areas. ▲∴
It is named because of its huge size and is known as the "King of Crabs".
King crab and king crab (giant crab) are not the same type of crab.
Due to their large size and delicious meat, many species are widely captured for food, the most common of which is the Kamchatka stone crab.
King crabs are deep-sea crabs that can survive at a depth of 850 meters. The water temperature is 2-5 degrees Celsius. The lowest water temperature that king crabs can survive is 1.4 degrees Celsius, and king crabs only live in sea areas above 180 meters.
Recently, scientists discovered more than 1 million giant king crabs in a mud bed basin 850 meters below the continental shelf offshore Antarctica.
The emergence of this large alien carnivore may be the first sign of an ecological catastrophe in the Antarctic waters. In addition to this, there is also the giant physalis squid, which are all giant carnivores discovered in recent years.
It is because of the King Physalis Squid that Korean Peacock pays more attention to these things.
Of course, it is undeniable that the rapid reproduction of this kind of thing is also a focus of Korean peacocks. Not to mention the king physalis squid, the king crab alone has a high economic value.
"So the one next to it is the king crab? It's really big, but I don't know if it's delicious or not." Long Lin pointed at another table and said.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was also a big crab. However, although this crab was very big, it looked slender, while the previous king crab was thicker and looked more graceful.
"This is a king crab. We should be cultivating this kind of crab on a large scale here. If you are willing to try it, we can also have one." Han Peacock said.
"It's been bred on a large scale? So the price is very cheap?" Long Lin asked.
Han Kongque said: "It can only be said in relative terms. Compared with king crabs in other places, the price of king crabs here is definitely cheaper. Didn't you see that many people here eat this kind of king crabs?"
The reproduction rate of king crabs is astonishing. Each female crab can give birth to nearly 10,000 living baby crabs every year. King crabs usually lay eggs in the shallows about 350 meters away from April to June every year.
This type of creature mostly lives in the muddy sand of shoals and inhabits waters in low latitudes.
During the breeding season, female king crabs and male king crabs mate and hatch. Generally speaking, in a king crab's lifespan of about 30 years, the fertile period is four years.
If left alone, the hatching ratio of eggs is about 16,000/80,000. However, the survival rate of Korean peacocks raised artificially here is more than half.
In other words, out of 80,000 eggs, more than 4,000 survive. With sufficient food, they grow quickly. In this way, king crabs are not uncommon here.
"No wonder you, who are engaged in the breeding industry, are more attractive than our entertainment industry." Chen Jiayi looked at more and more people eating. He had to admire Han Peacock's foresight.
"Eating and clothing are two important things in life. It's because of this. Our Long family specializes in the catering industry." Long Lin seemed to have thought of something and said happily.
"The most terrifying thing is his countless breeding areas!" At this time, Deng Hui also said.
"Yes! If I had known that the breeding industry was so profitable, I would have participated." Long Lin said with a smile.
Han Peacock also smiled: "It's not too late now! King Physalis squid, king crab, king crab, various sea cucumbers, abalone, tuna, lobster, large and small yellow croaker, pomfret, hairtail, and even common seafood such as kelp and octopus , are all very promising, and it’s not too late for you to participate. I’m afraid that you are only talking about it now rather than taking action.”
When Han Kongque said this, everyone started to think about it, saying that it would be better to act than to talk. Talking without practice will never accomplish anything.
"It seems that we have gone in the wrong direction. Even if we lose the dominance here in the future, we should be able to do a lot by following Xiao Han." Chen Jiayi said.
"What I'm saying is that there are a lot of opportunities here, and with our relationship with Xiao Han, we are definitely close to everything. If we let others get ahead of us, then our life will be in vain." Liu Mingyu said.
"I wonder who the boss of this Crab House is? He is really a capable person." Seeing this situation, Cheng Jun was also very emotional. Although the boss here is just such a restaurant, he must not be underestimated.
The daily turnover here is really objective. Even the cheapest crab costs seven to eight hundred yuan. How many can it sell here in a day?
While a few people were talking, cages of hairy crabs arrived, followed by matching condiments and eight pieces of crabs.
"This crab piece is really exquisite, isn't it made of gold?" Liu Mingyu picked up a golden tweezer and looked at it.
Long Lin said contemptuously: "How is that possible? This must be made of copper."
"In ancient times, there were eight crabs made of gold, but if they were used here, wouldn't they be stolen by others?" Han Peacock said with a smile.
"There were eight crabs in ancient times? I thought they were made by modern people!" Chen Jiayi said.
"We have been eating crabs for thousands of years, so you have to underestimate the ancients." Han Peacock said with a smile.
The history of crab-eating in China can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. According to records in "Zhou Li" and "Zi Lin" of the Jin Dynasty, my country has a history of eating crabs for 2,780 years.
Since ancient times, crab-eating seems to have been an elegant affair. As early as the Ming Dynasty, skilled craftsmen created a set of exquisite crab-eating tools.
According to the Ming Dynasty Food Guide "Kao Chi", the first eight types of crab-eating tools in the Ming Dynasty include hammers, upsetting tools, tongs, shovels, spoons, forks, scrapers, and needles. Translated into modern Chinese, they are round hammers, small square tables, tweezers, and long It includes an axe, a spoon, a long-handled fork, a scraper, and a needle, so it is called the "eight pieces of crab".
After the ancients invented crab-eating tools, eating crabs became an elegant and elegant dining experience. Using small and exquisite gold, silver, and copper tableware to eat crabs is full of fun and can be said to be an elegant and elegant dining activity.
The shell of the crab is hard, so it is more troublesome to eat. First, you need to use the scissors in the eight-piece crab set to cut off the eight legs of the hairy crab, including two large pincers. If the hairy crab is allowed to cool, the crab meat and The crab shell will separate automatically, which is very convenient for eating;
The basic function of the crab eight pieces is obviously to let people eat the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs cleanly, without leaving even a little bit of meat in the crab claws.
Chewing cows and eating crabs has always been a natural thing for people who know how to laugh.
There is a sequence for using the eight pieces of crab. When the brown crab is served steaming hot to the table, the crab eater first cuts off the two large claws one by one with scissors, then uses a hammer to gently tap around the crab shell, and then uses a shovel to open the back.
shell.
Then use tongs, forks, scrapers, and needles in turn to pick, pinch, fork, or knock out the golden crab roe, white crab paste, and fresh crab meat.
When I pick up the crab shell with one hand and put this most delicious thing in the world between my lips and tongue, I feel a kind of enjoyment that cannot be described in words.
Naturally, this will not be the first time for Chen Jiayi and others to enjoy this kind of thing. People have passed the first generation to see what they eat, and it is time for the second generation to see through it. At this point, after being influenced by the third and fourth generations, people taste the same.
grace.
Among these people, Han Kongque was considered a pure grassroots, but he had a very strong memory. Even if he had never used Crab Piece before, it would still not be a problem for him.
He picked up a hairy crab, removed the hairy crab's crab cover (that is, a small piece of cover at the belly button of the crab, male crabs and female crabs have different shapes), removed it, and untied the hairy crab cover along the stripes;
Use a spoon to scoop out the stomach part of the hairy crab in the middle of the lid, and gently suck the roe of the hairy crab wrapped around the outside clean.
Of course, you should be careful at this time, and you must not suck the triangular cone-shaped crab stomach in the middle, which should be discarded;
After eating the hairy crab cover, it’s the turn of the crab body. Use scissors to cut off the excess hairy crab legs, hairy crab mouth and hairy crab lungs;
Use the handle of a spoon to pick out a hexagonal piece in the middle of the hairy crab body, which is the heart of the crab, and discard it;
Use a small spoon to pour some vinegar on the crab, then eat all the crab roe and crab paste from the hairy crab;
At this time, break the hairy crab body into two halves, and you can see the silky crab meat.
Just tear it along the legs of the hairy crab to remove the crab meat. The shell of the clean hairy crab will be complete and translucent;
Use scissors to cut the crab legs into three parts. The tip of the last crab leg can be used as a tool. First, use the thin end of the crab leg to poke out the meat from the middle part of the crab leg, and then use the thick end of the crab leg to pull out the front part of the crab leg.
The flesh is poked out;
Divide the crab claws into three sections. Cut the crab shell directly into the first two sections and scoop out the meat with a spoon.
For the last pliers, the trick is to cut both sides, and then use your hands to break off the two pliers legs in opposite directions, and the pliers shell will be completely separated;
Although the crab shell eaten in this way may not be able to be completely put back into the shape of a hairy crab, it is laid out in a clear and orderly manner, with no trace of meat left.
After eating the hairy crab shells, I washed my hands and drank a cup of warm ginger tea. I only had one hairy crab in one meal and I felt full.
"One hairy crab is really not enough to eat." Long Lin patted his belly and said.
"If you don't have enough food, you'll need two red crabs." Cheng Jun said.
Long Lin glanced at Cheng Jun and found that there was nothing strange about him, so he naturally knew that he was trying to make peace with him.
"Then I need two." Long Lin said with a smile.
"I'm afraid you can't eat two. One weighs more than a pound!" Chen Jiayi said.
"If you can't eat it, give it to me. I can eat two more." Han Peacock said.
"Then I'll give it to you." Long Lin pushed the steamer in front of him directly in front of Han Peacock, but there was a pile of crab shells inside.
Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and the red crab also came up. Don't tell me, the taste of this thing is really good, so everyone started eating and didn't care to talk. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels are better
