Chapter 1474

"You know the Arctic fennel fish, so you should know how to eat the most delicious fish?" The owner asked with interest. A pile of frozen Arctic fennel fish was put in the snow. The owner's wife had divided them according to size.

Arctic fennel fish is a freshwater fish. Of course, it can also enter the ocean. For example, when it migrates to spawn, it will enter the open sea. It is well known that people in Europe and North America do not like freshwater fish, but Arctic fennel fish is an exception.

The biggest advantage of this fish is that it is very large, with more meat and fewer spines, delicious taste, high nutritional value, and the fish meat contains less cholesterol and is easy to digest. They can safely eat with knives and forks. If they eat too much, they will not get fat and will not cause cerebrovascular diseases.

For Caucasians, when these characteristics are combined and put on a fish, it is a good fish.

Why don't they eat Asian carp? Because Asian carp have many spines, strong earthy smell, high fat and cholesterol content, and poor taste when processed by traditional means, it is just two extremes from Arctic fennel.

Arctic fennel fish belongs to cold water fish. From the perspective of nutritional composition, cold water fish belongs to high protein and high-fat fish. Its cholesterol content is almost zero. It is rich in amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. The content of DHA and EPA is several times higher than that of other fish.

In addition, cold water fish are mostly carnivorous species. The meat is fresh, tender and delicious, and the edible part is large.

Qin Shiou only knows about arctic fennel fish. Anyway, there is no such fish in Newfoundland. It's useless for him to know more. However, his memory was so excellent that he remembered everything he knew, including the way he ate the fish.

Chinese people like to eat hot pot. Whites in Canada and the United States don't like this way, but Arctic fennel fish is suitable to cut off fish and rinse pot.

Qin Shiou said the answer. The owner smiled happily and said, "yes, it's suitable for instant boiled meat, but this is only one way to eat. Come on, let's clean up and prepare for meat cutting. But before that, I have to show you a little trick. "

Forty or fifty Arctic fennel fish were chiseled out of the whole ice floe, and the mining amount is very considerable. This is because Arctic fennel fish belong to social trout fish and like to live together. Therefore, when a piece of water forms ice, they will be frozen together.

The body color of this kind of fish is very bright and beautiful. The back of the adult fish is dark purple, the body side is light yellow, and there are some spots on the body side, while the abdomen of the young fish is white. There are several dark horizontal spots on both sides of the fish body, which is not as bright as the big fish, nor is the body plump and full.

Even for fish of the same size, the color of the body surface is different. The shipowner picked up some bright fish outside the body table and hung them under the eaves. Obviously, he didn't intend to eat it.

Qin Shiou looked at it and didn't speak. The shipowner was afraid of his misunderstanding and explained, "you should know that the more colorful the Arctic fennel fish is, the worse the taste is. This kind of fish is only suitable for drying fish."

"Oh, man, I see. It's okay." Qin Shiou nodded. Color is a weapon for Arctic fennel fish. It is used to warn the enemy not to prey on it. In this case, the fish's internal nutrition is used to develop its appearance color, and the meat quality is not good.

The owner raised the stove outdoors, put a pot, and then picked some fat Arctic fennel fish and put them in.

After a while, the ice on the surface of these fish dissolved. Slowly, a fish's tail shook, then its tail shook again, and the fins began to move, and finally swam in the water.

One by one, the fish in the pot came back to life and swam restlessly in the warm water.

Seeing this, Qin Shiou said in surprise, "Wow, this is really a good trick. Aren't these fish dead? How? I saw with my own eyes that they are already hard, and they have been frozen in the ice for at least half a year, right? Can you live like this? Come back from the dead? "

When the owner saw his surprised expression, he smiled and showed two rows of snow-white teeth: "of course, it's not the resurrection of death. If it's dead, it's in the arms of God and can't return to the world. In fact, these Arctic fennel fish didn't die, they were just frozen!"

"Arctic fennel fish can survive at low temperature. As long as the water does not freeze, they can live well. Their cells contain a kind of sugar muscle, which is similar to the antifreeze of cars and has amazing cold resistance."

"In this way, there is only one possibility that they are frozen in the ice. That is, when the cold wind comes overnight, the water is suddenly frozen and the temperature is very low. Otherwise, as long as the freezing speed is not fast enough, they can escape."

"Because the Arctic fennel fish contains sugar muscle, and quick freezing makes the water inside and outside the fish cells unable to form regular sharp crystals, so it will not puncture the cells, so it can make the cells survive. However, at the same time, due to temperature, the metabolism of the fish also stops. In this way, they fell into 'hibernation'. "

Qin Shiou didn't understand much, but he felt that the ship owner might not understand the reason, so he pretended to understand and nodded with admiration - he found that the ship owner liked to show his erudition. From the iceberg to Xiong Er getting along with melon, and now, he has been analyzing problems in the way of approaching science.

After the fish came alive, the owner fished them out and cut off their heads with an axe, and then explained: "what I just explained is incomplete. In fact, it is a very complex process, but I forgot to say one thing. Although these fish did not die, their organs have long failed. After all, natural rapid cooling is not scientific freezing. They will die soon after they come back to life. So it's better for me to kill them and give them a treat, isn't it? "

Qin Shiou said with a smile, "yes, you let them fall into the arms of God faster."

While flattering, he looked at the bloody fish head and body, and thought to himself that these fish would fall into the arms of God. He didn't know whether they would stain God's white robe.

The ship owner is a man who likes to listen to praise. Qin Shiou likes it. He has always been very excited.

Slice and cut the fish, take out the fish seeds and remove the fish bones, and the fat fish will be cleaned up soon.

The owner cleaned the fish seed several times, mixed it with some flour and broken vegetable leaves, kneaded it into cakes, and said, "this is the most delicious fish seed rapeseed cake here. Trust me, it tastes great!"

Qin Shiou washed the fish and said with a smile, "then I can't wait to taste it. You may not know that I've been eating ordinary fried fish and fried fish since I came here. That's really boring."

The owner said, "you should have tasted whale meat and seal meat. Didn't you eat it?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "no, no, I don't like those things. I only like ordinary fish, such as today's Arctic fennel fish. I haven't eaten it, but I know it's delicious."

The owner agreed: "nothing is more correct than your sentence. It's absolutely delicious. Come on, we can start dinner."
