The salmon that Xiang Yang saw now were rainbow trout, which is the best raw material for Pacific salmon.
In fact, rainbow trout and steelhead trout are both called Pacific salmon.
The reason why rainbow trout has such a name is just for the convenience of calling it.
The meat of rainbow trout has the functions of nourishing the body, strengthening the spleen and stomach, warming the stomach and harmonizing the middle. Regular consumption can cure emaciation, edema, indigestion and other symptoms.
Xiang Yang asked Li Chao, "Brother Chao, do you like eating salmon?"
"Of course, salmon is the fish that contains the most astaxanthin. Everyone who likes seafood will like salmon. Moreover, salmon has a large production volume and is a very affordable top-quality seafood." Li Chao replied with a smile.
Xiang Yang nodded. Astaxanthin is a substance that can significantly enhance the physical strength of organisms.
Whether it is a whale or a giant squid, they are all the top ocean overlords, and they have the power to run rampant in any sea area.
These two overlords are completely capable of never interacting with each other until they die. They both have the ability to swim extremely long distances. With their abilities, they can live well in any sea.
But the fact is that whenever these two overlords meet, a fierce battle is bound to take place, and either the whale or the giant squid will die.
Why do whales and giant squids fight to the death whenever they meet
The reason is the huge amount of astaxanthin in the other person's body.
Without enough astaxanthin as support, neither the giant squid nor the whale would be able to move deep or shallow, or even drive their huge bodies.
The reason why salmon can swim upstream and jump over cliffs and waterfalls to the stream to spawn is precisely because of the astaxanthin in its body.
According to scientific research reports, wild salmon contains 5 mg of natural astaxanthin per kilogram of salmon meat.
This astaxanthin is the reason why wild salmon have such great strength, and it is also the main reason why salmon are so abundant and can be sold at such a high price.
In addition, astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant discovered by scientists to date.
"The taste of salmon can only be considered good, it is not top-notch seafood, but if I have to choose, I would rather eat salmon, because the benefits of eating salmon are obvious. Let me take the Eskimos as an example, they have been eating salmon regularly for generations, so their entire tribe basically has no heart disease, diabetes, arteriosclerosis and other diseases, and they have super physical strength." Murong Zhenfei said.
"You can't compare it with the Eskimos. The Arctic salmon contains more than just astaxanthin. It is also the fish with the highest collagen content. And because fish maw is easily absorbed, it can even be used as a beauty product after being imported into the country." Xiang Yang shook his head.
Murong Zhenfei did not refute.
Because Xiang Yang was telling the truth.
In addition, because Arctic salmon live in extremely cold waters and have no parasites in their bodies, they are a good material for making sashimi or sashimi.
Xiang Yang said: "Since you like to eat, then you are in for a treat today. I will go down and catch some salmon for you."
"Go catch them?" Li Chao grabbed Xiang Yang's arm and asked in confusion, "Didn't you say that the most common fish in this area are groupers? Where are you going to catch salmon?"
Xiang Yang smiled and explained, "I have been in the sea since I was a child. My eyes are much more powerful than those of ordinary people. I can see several meters below the water. There is a school of Pacific salmon under the waters around this island."
Li Chao was surprised when he heard this, "How many meters below the water can you see?"
"I can take down a fishing boat with my bare hands, so that must mean I have some skills." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"This is more than just a skill. For a fisherman, it's simply a magical skill. You are a natural captain." Li Chao exclaimed.
The other crew members around also looked at Xiang Yang with envy, thinking that it was no wonder that Xiang Yang could become the captain, it turned out that he had such ability.
"By the way, there are several types of Pacific salmon. Can you tell clearly which one this is?" Li Chao asked.
"It's rainbow trout." Xiang Yang said.
"Rainbow trout?" Li Chao's eyes lit up again when he heard that.
Rainbow trout is a cold-water pond-cultured fish of the genus Salmon in the family Salmonidae and is also the most important cold-water fish widely farmed in the world.
It has become the most widely farmed cold-water fish in the world, so it must have its unique features.
The unique feature of rainbow trout is that it is nutritious and delicious.
Even farmed rainbow trout without astaxanthin is still a very healthy food. Its meat is high in protein and OMEGA-3 fatty acids, but low in fat.
Rainbow trout can be cooked in many ways and tastes great whether served hot or cold. The meat behind the head is more delicious than the tail, and its roe is also delicious.
Caviar made from rainbow trout roe is called "red caviar" and is the second most delicious caviar in the world after wild sturgeon caviar.
Then, Li Chao became confused again. He looked at Xiang Yang with suspicion, "Brother Xiang, the difference between rainbow trout and ordinary Pacific salmon is that it has a brown-red vertical stripe along the lateral line of its body when it matures. At first glance, that vertical stripe looks like a rainbow. Can you see the vertical stripes on the rainbow trout in deep water on the surface of the water?"
Xiang Yang was immediately shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Li Chao to ask such a question.
Immediately, Xiang Yang started to laugh. Since he had already revealed some of his superhuman qualities, what would be wrong in revealing a little more
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Yes, I can vaguely see the scene nearly ten meters deep underwater. Just now, the group of rainbow trout were fighting for a small fish and swam to a depth of three or four meters, which allowed me to recognize them."
Xiang Yang nodded, and was amazed at what Xiang Yang said.
"It's actually a rainbow trout. It looks like I have to go catch it myself." Li Chao said loudly.
Zhang Qicheng and Murong Zhenfei also looked eager to try.
Xiang Yang was shocked by Li Chao's words. "Brother Chao, it's not that serious, is it? It's just rainbow trout, right? Do you really need to go down there in person?"
Xiang Yang had seen rainbow trout in the vegetable market, which cost more than 100 yuan per pound. Although it was valuable, it was definitely not worth the price for Li Chao to decide to catch it himself.
"You don't understand this. Ninety-nine percent of the rainbow trout on the market are farmed. Even farmed rainbow trout are divided into several grades. The best quality ones, those with astaxanthin added to their feed, account for less than 10% of the total number of rainbow trout. As for pure astaxanthin rainbow trout, it is one of the world's most precious fishes." Li Chao grinned.
When Li Chao said this, he spoke very loudly, as if he was deliberately speaking for Xiang Yang's crew members around him to hear.
