Of course, in recent years, China has become a top priority in the catering industry. Europeans and Americans have also begun to catch sea cucumbers and freeze them before sending them to China. This is a very popular food in China.
However, it was obvious that the sea cucumbers caught by Jiang Hai and the others were not intended to be sold, because Edward only wanted to check the marine resources, so he did not freeze the sea cucumbers, but soaked them in sea water to prevent the sea cucumbers from dying. dissolve.
The autolysis phenomenon of sea cucumbers is mainly due to the fact that after sea cucumbers leave sea water, their bodies will produce something called autolytic enzyme. Within 6-7 hours, sea cucumbers will melt themselves into liquid and become watery. , shadowless and shapeless, this can be regarded as a legend.
Europeans and Americans do not eat sea urchins and sea cucumbers, but Jiang Hai does. These things are destined to become his dinner.
In addition to sea urchins and sea cucumbers, there are also many delicious things left in this tank.
Crabs were Jiang Hai's favorite thing to eat in the past. However, the price of this food in China has always been quite expensive. After coming to the United States, he had not had time to eat it yet. He didn't expect to arrive here today. You can eat meat now.
There are about a dozen crabs here, and the largest one weighs about a pound.
Jiang Hai also knew this kind of crab, swimming crab, the most common type of crab among sea crabs. When buying sea crabs in China, it basically refers to swimming crabs, because other crabs are either inedible or not easy to catch.
"Crabs, there are five types in total, walking crabs, swimming crabs, cave crabs, hidden crabs and symbiotic crabs. Large crabs, such as the famous killer crabs, are walking crabs. However, this kind of crab is too big. It is also strong and only walks under the sea, so it is not easy to catch. Swimming crab refers to this kind of swimming crab. This is also the only kind of swimming crab. It is the only one in the crab family that can swim. There are also many cave-dwelling crabs, but we can usually see them on the shore. These crabs are basically terrestrial or semi-terrestrial. They are difficult to see in the deep sea. Look, this is a frog crab, and this is a crab. Na crabs are all cave crabs. This is a hidden crab. It pretends to be a reef or something. This is a petal crab, which is a hidden crab, but the taste is not very good... Symbiotic crabs are not easy to catch, except for some hermit crabs. Besides, there must be something inside these shells." Seeing that Jiang Hai seemed to be interested in crabs, Philemon here also smiled and explained.
Although Philemon is a professional cowboy, he also has some knowledge about marine life. After all, he is a person who has run on a boat.
Seeing that his boss was interested in these things, he introduced them to Jiang Hai.
After introducing the crabs, he started to introduce the shrimps. After all, shrimps and crabs are inseparable.
There are many types of shrimp here. At a glance, there are six types. The most common one is a red shrimp. This shrimp is about ten centimeters long. Jiang Hai is very familiar with this kind of shrimp, Arctic ice shrimp. It's Arctic sweet shrimp, which tastes very good.
In addition to this kind of shrimp, there are also green shrimps, which are larger than Arctic sweet shrimps. These shrimps are prawns, and Jiang Hai has eaten them before.
In addition, Jiang Hai also knew shrimp crawlers, also known as mantis shrimps. There are many shrimps in Bingcheng that do not look like shrimps. They can be eaten alive all year round and taste good. So Jiang Hai also likes it very much.
In addition to these three kinds of shrimp, there is only one kind of shrimp that Jiang Hai knows, lobster, yes the legendary Maine lobster, well, actually it is better to call it Boston lobster, but this shrimp is obviously still a baby shrimp, From head to tail, it was only about ten centimeters, not much bigger than a crayfish, and probably didn't have much meat. Speaking of lobsters, Jiang Hai remembered that when he went to the sea last time, he saw a lot. It seemed that when he had time, You have to go to the sea for a trip. You said you came to Boston to buy a farm, but it turned out that the biggest specialty here, Boston lobster, has not been eaten yet. Jiang Hai felt a little embarrassed when he said it.
Aside from the shrimps he knew, there were three types he didn't recognize. Jiang Hai couldn't help but look at Philemon.
"There are really a lot of shrimps here. Even if we raise some fish now, it will not cause ecological imbalance. Let me introduce these three kinds of shrimps to the boss. This kind of very long shrimp is called monodon shrimp. It is called the island shrimp. It is a kind of shrimp. It is distributed all over the world. It is also the largest shrimp. This one is almost 24 or 5 centimeters long. It is considered full-grown. The largest one is more than 30 centimeters. It's long, but the meat is average and not as delicious as the Arctic sweet shrimp." Philemon did not disappoint Jiang Hai. Under Jiang Hai's eyes, he first picked up a piece that looked like it had tiger stripes, one section at a time. The prawn said to Jiang Hai.
Jiang Hai has seen these shrimps in the aquatic products market before, but the price is really too expensive. In the aquatic products market in Bingcheng, a pound of live fresh shrimps only costs over twenty yuan if it is not the New Year or the festival. , but a pound of these shrimps can be sold for more than 40 or more than 50 pounds per pound, which is really outrageous, but there are many such shrimps in this fishery.
After putting down the shrimp, Philemon picked up another thing, but this thing was said to be a shrimp, but it looked more like a bug.
"This is called cicada shrimp (sea cicada). It is a kind of lobster, but it is very small and not tasty. There is no meat." After playing with the shrimp in front of him, Philemon said with a smile. .
"This is an eagle shrimp. It is said that this kind of shrimp existed in the Jurassic era, so there is a genus called Jurassic shrimp, but it is a shrimp from Australia. Do we have it here? We only have this kind of shrimp here. It's the same." It's very small and has no meat." After putting down the guy who looked like there were more bugs than shrimps, Philemon picked up the last shrimp that Jiang Hai didn't recognize and said to Jiang Hai.
"There is also this kind of shrimp. In fact, most of these shrimps are used for food. Only this kind of shrimp is the most important." After putting down the shrimp, Philemon turned his attention to the mantis shrimp. On the body.
"I know, these are mantis shrimps. We also have them there. They taste very good." Jiang Hai said immediately after hearing Philemon's words.
"Well, Chinese people eat it? Well, it seems that the Chinese people don't eat anything. This is a kind of cleaning shrimp, which is basically not eaten by us. This kind of shrimp can swim very fast and can eat Dead fish, shrimps, and crabs are the main contributors to keeping the seabed clean." Philemon also laughed and said while teasing the mantis shrimp in his hand.
Obviously, maybe because of the golden finger, Jiang Hai is obviously more concerned about the ocean than the pasture. He also knows more about aquatic animals. Among them, he also knows that the cleaning shrimps and other shrimps will be eaten by fish. They are edible, but this kind of shrimp is what fish should protect. This kind of shrimp is the doctor in the ocean, specializing in treating sick fish, and is very famous in the ocean.
But whether it is Peter's rock pine shrimp, hedgehog shrimp, yellow northern hedgehog shrimp or Gallia whiptail shrimp, etc., these shrimps are temperate and tropical shrimps. They are not found in the cold zone, at least in Jianghai.
Jiang Hai didn't quite understand this. In fact, it was easy to explain because it was located here and the water temperature was very cold.
Therefore, aquatic creatures are not as easy to get sick as temperate and tropical zones, and even if they are sick, the fittest will survive and they will die. After all, there are only a very small number, and the mantis shrimp will take care of their corpses. Fall out and complete the ecological reincarnation.
What Jiang Hai thought was sea intestines was actually not sea intestines, but hagfish. Hagfish itself is not delicious, but its close relative, lamprey, is a very good food, although both of them are Just as disgusting.
There is also something called a sea hare, also called a sea slug. To be honest, this thing looks quite disgusting...
After introducing shrimps and crabs, Philemon began to introduce the most important thing, fish!
But after all, this is not a breeding farm yet, so many of the fish caught are inedible, because most of them are fish caught in the coral area. The so-called damselfish fish, you may still I don’t quite understand, but to put it another way, everyone knows clownfish. Clownfish is also a type of damselfish. Basically, any coral fish or anemone fish is a type of damselfish. This kind of fish is not only found in temperate zones, but also in tropical and cold zones, but it doesn't come out much in winter.
In addition to this kind of fish that can only be seen but not eaten, there are many other things to eat here. The main ones are cod, herring and some sardines, which Jiang Hai knows. There is also an ugly fish, Philemon. Tell Jiang Hai that this is Grouper.
However, because this kind of fish mainly lives in temperate and tropical zones, there are not many fisheries here.
Therefore, the one he caught was not too big, probably only a little bigger than the palm of his hand. Jiang Hai grabbed it, and it was almost more than one kilogram, less than two kilograms. For Grouper, such a figure is still in the It's kindergarten level.
In addition to these fish, there are many other fish, bonito, mullet, barracuda, redfish, red snapper, etc...
There are dozens of them just to count. When Philemon started talking, Jiang Hai could still listen, but he soon became distracted.
Just when he was distracted, he suddenly saw a big spider jumping out of the sink and starting to crawl quickly.
Seeing this, Jiang Hai subconsciously stretched out his hands to catch the spider, but Philemon held his hand faster. Seeing Philemon's actions, Jiang Hai also He was a little dazed, knowing that Philemon couldn't catch him without reason, so he took a look at Philemon and retracted his hand first.
After confirming that Jiang Hai had left the spider-like creature, Philemon breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, it seems that your underwater world is indeed very good. There are even sea spiders." Picking up a wooden board, Philemon first took the spider-like thing out of the sink and went straight to it. Trampled to death, and then thrown back into the sea, he said to Jiang Hai. After hearing his words, Jiang Hai frowned, sea spider? Do spiders also live in the sea
In fact, it is not the case. Although sea spiders are called spiders, they are actually from the crab family. However, do not think that it is easy to bully just because it is a crab. This kind of creature is known as the poisonous king of the seabed, and it is not for nothing.
