Chapter 126

E-snail is one of the most commonly eaten sea snails in North America and is also famous in Europe. Qin Shiou is very familiar with this kind of snail because it can be seen on sale every time he goes to the supermarket.

There are many kinds of conch in Daqin fishing ground, including emerald conch, ditch conch, konobi conch, pribilov Sea King conch, tower conch, etc. of course, the most is e conch.

E-snails are mainly produced in the waters of Florida, Virginia and California. In addition, they can also be caught in the waters of North Carolina and Alaska. They cover the west coast of the Atlantic Ocean and are naturally common in Newfoundland fishing grounds.

Qin Shiou has seen their shadows on the seabed before, but they are not many, and their gathering places are relatively scattered, which may be related to the lack of their food in Daqin fishing ground in the past.

E-snail feeds on algae and micro organisms. It generally inhabits shallow waters and eats echinoderms. Before Qin Shiou artificially planted algae, there were few algae and echinoderms in the surrounding shallow waters. The breeding of e-snail has always been a problem.

Therefore, although Qin Shiou knew that there were such conch in the fishing ground, he had no idea of fishing.

Now shack mentioned it again. He suddenly realized it and quickly scanned it with Poseidon consciousness.

Algae is indeed the foundation of the fishing ground. With the abundance of algae, zooplankton multiply in large numbers, which attracts more small fish to survive. Small fish attract big fish, and one biological chain begins to improve.

After more than a month of predation, the number of e-snails has also increased a lot. Their reproductive ability is very strong. They can ovulate more than 2000 in the sea at one time.

After their fertilized eggs enter the ocean, they will float away with the sea water and finally grow and develop on algae or reefs.

Although there are a lot of e-snails now, Qin Shiou didn't catch them with Sark, because it's troublesome to catch e-snails. They are usually caught by trap box or trawl.

If you use the trap box, because the whereabouts of e Luo are slow, you need to wait for several days to pull the box. In trawling, snails are usually caught as incidental catch, but no one is specialized in catching them.

So many longevity snails are enough to eat, but I don't know whether they are delicious or not. Qin Shiou divided these snails into two pots according to their heads, and poured the water of Chenbao lake and a little sesame oil into them to vomit sediment.

Seeing Qin Shiou pour sesame oil and stop, Iverson was ready to reach out and eat it. Shack couldn't cry or laugh. He grabbed him and explained, "I can't eat yet."

"Pour the oil." Iverson looked at Shaq and said seriously.

Sark said to Qin Shiou, "yes, boss, why do you pour oil?"

Qin Shiou explained, "pouring sesame oil can make these snails spit out the mud in their stomach faster. If you ask me the principle, I can only say that I bought a watch last year, and I don't know."

The longevity snail is easy to feel and difficult to eat. Qin Shiou checked it on the Internet. The results were very depressed. Because of its large size, it is easy to parasitize the eggs of parasites such as Schistosoma japonicum and Angiostrongylus elegans.

The eggs of some parasites are difficult to kill. They are undeveloped in the body of longevity snails. They become larvae after entering the human body or domestic animals, and then invade the host. Canadians are afraid of this, so they don't eat this kind of snails.

After vomiting for an hour and changing the water four or five times, Qin Shiou took four children and Nelson to clean up the snails.

Xiao Luo asked Nelson to wash it, cut off his tail with a vise and fried it; The big snail uses a scraper to pick out the meat and prepare it for cold snail meat.

Fried snails are not suitable for big snails. The shell is already thick. If the meat is thicker, the taste of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and seasoning can't get in at all.

But the longevity snail is not too small. It's as big as the Chinese snail. They are all snail cubs. They can't eat just because they have shells and no meat.

The tail of the thumb belly was twisted off, and the Qin Shi Gu was pickled with Baijiu, salt, vinegar and soy sauce. The large size of the snails were boiled in boiling water to kill the parasite eggs as far as possible.

The next step is to fry the snail. First burn the olive oil to boiling, fry the onion, ginger, garlic and pepper, pour in the small snail and stir fry it wildly. Fry it in boiling oil for four or five minutes to completely ensure the cleanness of the snail meat.

Finally, let's start with seasoning: pour in Baijiu and stir fry. Add soy sauce and stir fry; Add balsamic vinegar and stir fry; Add sugar and stir fry; Add oyster sauce, continue to stir fry, add salt and stir fry; Finally, add chicken essence and stir evenly to get out of the pot.

The smell of stir fried chili and the seasoning of sauce blended with seasoning quickly spread across the kitchen. Nelson sniffed and said, "the taste is not bad. I don't know if the snails are delicious or not."

Shirley was stunned and said, "how do you make this dish with so many seasonings and procedures?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "unfortunately, only soy sauce has no raw and old soy sauce. If there is this kind of seasoning, it needs more seasonings."

Cold snail meat is much simpler. After the snow-white snail meat is cooked, cut it into pieces with a knife. Anyway, it's all big snails. It's very simple to slice.

After slicing, it is to make mixed sauce. Qin Shiou uses two kinds, one is oil spilled snail meat, the other is fresh mixed snail meat.

Oil splashing is to pour soy sauce, chicken essence, vinegar and fuel into the snail meat and directly pour the boiling oil on it. For fresh mixed snail meat, stir shredded scallion, shredded ginger, garlic slices and seasonings with snail meat evenly, including mustard powder, so as to reconcile the freshness of snail meat.

After making four plates full, Qin Shiou put them on the table. Iverson threw away his basketball and stood on the table, salivating.

Qin Shiou tasted it. It tasted good. The oil spilled snail meat was very fragrant. The fresh mixed snail meat was very delicious, but the snail meat was a little old. It didn't taste after chewing.

He thought Shaq and the sea monster would still eat hot. As a result, the three ate two, put down their knives and forks, and drove to the town to drink.

Qin Shiou was so angry that he grabbed Nelson and asked, "doesn't it taste good?"

Nelson reluctantly said, "boss, it smells delicious, but it tastes too heavy in front, and there is no taste in the back. Moreover, the shell of fried snail is too spicy, and the meat of snail is too weak, so we can't get used to it."

When Canadians eat, they are used to the consistent taste. In addition, the taste is relatively light, so they are so interested in pure and fat sea fish.

The four children were very happy to eat. Shirley comforted, "Qin, it's delicious. It's much better than my boiled!"

Powell nodded hard. Qin Shiou finally got some comfort, but then it was absolutely wrong. Can you cook snails in white water compare with fried snails and mixed snails I took great pains to cook?

Another happy eater is ewason. He is not picky about food. He eats with a spoon used for cooking. A spoon is a large piece of snail meat that disappears and is stuffed into his mouth to chew. His face is filled with a happy smile.

Qin Shiou couldn't stop blaming shack for their bad taste. He hurried to the table to eat mixed snail meat. The four children had small hands and short arms and couldn't grab it.

There was no way. Seeing that Iverson was about to pick up the plate and pour it into his mouth, Qin Shiou had to take five bowls, divide some first, and give the rest to Iverson.

Ewassen was not interested in stir fried snail meat. Qin Shiou taught him to suck it, but he felt it was boring. He sucked one snail meat down and another, wasting time digesting the previously eaten snail meat.

The four children like to suck snail meat and play with the shell while eating, whining and creaking, making the atmosphere very happy（ A good activity with pie falling from the sky.
