Lao Wang looked at the little Japan not far away and said: "In recent years, fans in Japan, France, the United States, Germany, Hong Kong and Macao all regard sea urchin as a higher-end precious and high-end health food, especially the Japanese.
Not only do I like to eat fresh sea urchin yolks, but I also like the caviar made from sea urchins, which is called clouddan. It is a rare delicacy when it is ready."
As he spoke, Lao Wang looked at the sea urchins on the boat. He was a chef, and he could tell at a glance that the sea urchins served by Han Kongque were very good.
"Come on, let's go up and have a look." Lao Wu took Lao Wang and got on the fishing boat with Han Peacock.
Looking at the sea urchins on the fishing boat, Lao Wu smiled and said: "The Japanese always eat some strange things."
Lao Wang's eyes shone when he saw these sea urchins. They were about the same size, but each one was round. These were the best among sea urchins.
Han Peacock said at this time: "Japan is not the only one who eats sea urchins, right?"
Lao Wang nodded and said: "It's not just Japan. In fact, many countries eat sea urchins. This is not surprising. Xiao Han, where did you catch these sea urchins? These are the best!"
At this time, Lao Wu said: "The best? Are there different sea urchins?"
"Of course there are different kinds of sea urchins. Fat, thin, long and short, and color are all the criteria for distinguishing the quality of sea urchins. For a sea urchin of this size, the fatter it is, the more delicious it is. A few years ago, these sea urchins would have been available for purchase.
The price is high." Lao Wang said happily.
"Is it really that good?" Old Wu was very skeptical. After all, he didn't know anything about sea urchins, and he had eaten them before.
Although Han Kongque knew about sea urchins and had read a lot of information about sea urchins, he had never eaten them or cooked them himself, so he was also curious: "Is sea urchins really that good?"
"I really have to admire little Japan on this point. They are the best at eating. Don't look at the sea urchins that don't look good. They are very delicious when they are cooked. Moreover, these sea urchins are of the highest quality, and they are freshly caught from the sea.
It’s rare to see such fresh and top-quality sea urchins.” Lao Wang affirmed.
At this time, Old Wu's face had changed, and he said directly: "Xiao Han, don't be fooled. Don't listen to what Old Wu said so well, and just think about eating this stuff. Now I have to tell the truth, Xiao Han
, don’t listen to Lao Wang’s lies, this food is unpalatable and disgusting! You must not eat it!
I've seen it once and that's enough. Damn it! When the shell of this thing was still alive, I broke open the shell and the big lump inside was really disgusting to see. And I heard that there are Japanese people who eat that thing alive. I
I really don’t know how they swallowed it.”
"Disgusting?" Han Kongque said in astonishment.
"Of course it's disgusting. That lump is swaying and in the shape of granules, and it looks like a bunch of xiang! You can imagine it. A bunch of flat lumps are placed in front of you, and they are still emitting heat. Can you eat them?"
Only perverted little Japan can eat it alive." Old Wu said with a look of disgust.
"Is it really that disgusting?" Han Peacock still didn't believe it.
"Don't judge people by their appearance! Although it looks a bit ugly, this can be changed. If you must make it look like poop, isn't that going to be a problem for yourself?" Lao Wang said with a smile.
"And it's not strange to eat raw ones, right? I know that Europeans and Americans also eat raw oysters! Octopus and sea urchin are also eaten in areas around the Mediterranean. Sea urchins have been introduced in recent American food programs, and sea urchin dishes are also served in high-end French restaurants in New York.
But many people probably don’t have the chance to eat it!” Lao Wang looked at Lao Wu strangely.
"This is pretty good. Japanese people eat a lot of sea urchins and they know how to eat them. You have to admire this. I don't mind if you don't like it. When I ate sea urchins in a premium sushi restaurant before, I thought they were very delicious.
Later, I went to eat at a nearby conveyor belt sushi restaurant. It had a strange bitter taste. It was edible, but not delicious. Other restaurants were similar, so some people said sea urchin was not delicious. Some people said it was delicious, but in fact everything is the same.
.It tastes good when it’s done well, but if it’s not done well, even abalone and lobster won’t taste good.
I used to hate eating sea urchins, but once I ate a pot of sea urchins that cost 5,000 yen. It was something completely different. Sea urchins and salmon eggs are definitely foods that are proportional to their taste and price. Back then, a pound of Japanese people cost $60.
Acquisition at a high price is not unreasonable." Lao Wang looked at Lao Wu with a smile.
"It's better that we know. If foreign countries know about the delicious taste of sea urchins and they have to catch them everywhere, the price of sea urchins will become more and more expensive, so it's better to make them feel disgusted." Han Peacock said with a laugh.
.
"I don't dare to eat this thing at all, even if you give me money, I won't eat it. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was brain matter..." Old Wu shook his head.
"We won't just eat sea urchins today, right? Then I'll be disappointed." Old Wu walked around the boat and saw the four tanks on the boat. Except for the one where the sea urchins were placed, the others were all covered by canvas, so
He asked Han Peacock about his harvest as a joke.
The three people were talking so happily on the boat that they had attracted the attention of many people on the shore, especially that little Japan.
Han Peacock glanced at them and didn't want to expose the abalone on the boat, so he pulled the fishing net and covered the tank containing the abalone again, revealing the other two tanks.
"Ah? Big lobster! Where have you been? You can actually catch a few of such big lobsters." When he saw the big lobsters in the tank, Old Wu screamed happily.
"I knew that Xiao Han must have a big harvest. Just these few lobsters can be compared with the harvest of those fishermen." Lao Wang also said with a smile on his face.
"These lobsters are all over one kilogram, right? Such large lobsters are rare. What is the purchase price of ordinary lobsters at this dock?" Lao Wu asked Lao Ang.
"A small green dragon here costs twenty yuan per catty, and a big one like this costs more than two hundred and one catty, so a lobster like this costs more than a hundred dollars. There are eight here, which costs almost eight hundred dollars. Don't say
With the gas money, not many fishermen on this pier have such a harvest, let alone so many sea urchins." Lao Wang said with a smile on his face.
"I heard that the largest lobster only weighs about ten pounds, and a two-kilogram one costs only fifty or sixty dollars a pound? How can it be so cheap?" Lao Wu asked doubtfully.
"This is in Southeast Asia. East Timor is surrounded by seas in four directions, and lobsters are produced there. The lobsters are the cheapest here. If they are shipped back to China, they can cost thousands of dollars in a minute." Lao Wang said.
"So, these groupers are worthless?" Old Wu said.
Lao Wang smiled and said: "You can't say that. Grouper has a wider audience and the price is cheaper, so this one depends on quantity. If a sufficient number of grouper can be caught, this is more profitable."
Han Peacock found an opportunity to interject at this time, so he said directly: "If you want to fish in large quantities, it is better to catch grouper. Lobster is really difficult to catch."
"Yes, lobsters cannot be fished on a large scale." Lao Wang said.
"Haha, the harvest is good. These sea urchins are top-notch at first sight. I want them all for one dollar per kilogram." At this time, Little Japan, who had been looking here for a while, suddenly came over and said.
"No need for this, these sea urchins are for us to eat ourselves." Han Peacock refused directly.
"Mr. Koizumi likes to eat sea urchins?" At this time, people around him burst into laughter, but since Koizumi Koji opened his mouth, some people naturally flattered him.
Koizumi Koji took a figure-footed step, touched his mustache, walked like a Korean peacock, and said: "It used to be that in our Empire of Japan, one kilogram of sea urchins cost several hundred dollars, but now we don't want it, so the market
The sea urchins on the table are not valuable anymore.
Now that I’ve seen these sea urchins, I really want to eat them. Are you sure you don’t want to sell them? You can’t eat these sea urchins, so don’t tell me that you don’t plan to sell them.”
Looking at this Koizumi Koji, the Korean peacock feels a little bit sad. Just because there are a lot of sea urchins caught, does it have to be sold?
"Not for sale." Han Peacock said directly.
"Hey! Chinese boy, can you sell these sea urchins for ten dollars? I'll invite Mr. Koizumi." A local shouted, and his words immediately aroused another round of laughter.
"Ten dollars is a lot, it should be enough for your gas money today, how about it?" Koizumi Koji walked to Han Peacock and asked.
Han Kongque glanced at the laughing crowd and said very calmly: "I'm sorry, I brought these sea urchins here specially for a treat. Uncle Wang and Uncle Wu, I will make steamed sea urchin eggs for you when you get back later. I heard
This is delicious.”
"Don't tell me, I have lived by the sea for a long time and I have never eaten steamed sea urchin eggs. This time I will take advantage of you." Lao Wang said with a smile.
Lao Wu also said: "The steamed egg with sea urchin is really delicious. I will never forget it after eating it once. But Xiao Han, do you know how to cook it? You must know that sea urchin is poisonous and cannot be handled properly."
Han Kongque laughed and said: "This is really not good. Although I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, I have never handled it personally. I wonder if you, Uncle Wu, can handle it?"
"Of course, you, Uncle Wu, have experienced all sorts of hardships. I used to eat seafood like sea urchins a lot. It seems like I'd better take care of it myself." Old Wu smiled, but his face twitched slightly.
He really doesn't like eating sea urchin.
"Since you eat it often, why do you say you've only eaten steamed sea urchin eggs once?" Lao Wang said with a wicked smile.
"I've only eaten steamed eggs with sea urchin once. It's an unforgettable memory!" Lao Wu said.
Han Peacock and Lao Wang, who knew what Lao Wu was talking about, burst out laughing when they saw Lao Wu's constipated expression.
At this time, Koizumi Koji's face was completely dark. It didn't feel good to be ignored. This was true contempt.
"A lot of people really don't know how to eat sea urchins when they look like this!" Seeing Koizumi Koji's appearance, Lao Wang and Lao Wu both laughed heartily. (To be continued.)
