Chapter 1846

Qin Shiou caught more than ten eels. When he fished the bamboo net, there were several small eels in it. He didn't catch them, but drilled in by himself. Small eels appeared on the sea from time to time.

This is hard to imagine in other sea areas. American eel is now the most precious kind of seafood in the North Atlantic, and its rarity is more expensive. The reason why it is so precious is also related to its rarity, but eels are not rare in fishing grounds.

Grabbing the eel, Qin Shiou threw the melon into the sea. The melon blinked foolishly and asked, "why? The small ones are also delicious. They are so tender! "

Qin Shiou asked strangely, "have you ever eaten eel? Who gave you food? "

Melon shook his head, bit his tender little finger and said vaguely, "I haven't eaten melon. Melon eats small fruit and meat. Mom says small is delicious."

Qin Shiou touched her little brain and said with a smile, "well, mom is right, but small fish and animals can't eat. Like melons, they haven't grown up and haven't seen the beautiful world. Will it be cold to eat them? Go, let them go to the sea. "

Melon nodded vaguely, grabbed the little eel, squatted on the edge of the drifting island and put it into the sea. He ran back and forth with short legs and released the little eel.

Qin Shiou praised his good child, and melon smiled proudly.

Pick up these female fish and prepare to clean up. Melon holds him, looks up and says, "Dad, Dad, you can boast a few more words, boast a few more words."

Qin Shiou: "

Sister Qin looked aside and smiled. She took the eel and said, "you two have fun. I'll deal with these fish by chopping their heads and cleaning their internal organs, right?"

Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "I'd better come. The eel is not easy to deal with. You have to be careful of the gall. It's hidden in the organs. If you're not careful, it will break. Then the meat won't taste good."

The skin of wild eel is very tough, and like loach, it has a layer of mucus on the surface, which is very difficult to fix. First wash it with alkaline water, wash away the mucus, chop off the fish head, then gently dissect it with a fish killing knife, and pick out the viscera with the tip of the knife. Finally, the vertebrae should be removed with a diagonal knife. Another reason why eels are deeply loved by European and American whites is that they have few spines. In addition to the large vertebrae, the rest is only a little fishbone on the back, which can be imported.

After he cut the eel intestines and broke her belly, sister Qin took it and washed it with clean water. There was a desalination processor on the cruise ship. The treated fresh water could not meet the standard of direct drinking, but it could be used for bathing and washing vegetables. It was very convenient.

The cleaned eel meat presents a delicate pink. When you gently press the fish meat to sink with your fingers, the fish meat will pop up immediately, which is unmatched by Cultured eels.

These eels are more than 60 cm long. Each fish is chopped into ten segments. They have only one spine, and the bone has been pulled out. Therefore, the fish segments are spread out like meat slices, with similar thickness. This is also the characteristic of wild eels. The whole body is as good as the development of rolling meat.

Taking advantage of the freshness of the fish, Qin Shiou boiled it and swam inside. He simply flipped it twice. When the fish was slightly yellow, he took it out and lit it with sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar and maple syrup. In addition, he didn't need too many seasonings to keep the delicious taste of eel.

Pickled the fish, he prepared other things, brought fresh kelp and dry seaweed from the shore, cut them into shreds and mixed them with shallots. When the fish is almost pickled, boil the oil and fry again, which needs to control the heat. Put it into the pot for a while and cook it with the sauce prepared in advance. You can't just fry it, otherwise the delicate fish will be fried hard.

The red and black sauce "gudu gudu" bubbled, and the unique fresh flavor of seafood rose. The melons playing outside sucked their noses, immediately ran in, found their own small bowl, held the small bowl and sat at the table waiting.

His brother-in-law and Qin Fu cleaned up other fish, including a half large silver cod, a turbot, two fat sea bass and a pile of small herring. The fish meat was very full, with vegetables brought from the vegetable garden, enough for the party to eat.

With the bright and cool starlight, sister Qin leaned against the cabin door and looked out and said with admiration: "the night on the sea was so beautiful, and I thought the air on the sea would be fishy. When I went to the island city with your brother-in-law last summer, I felt that the sea water there didn't taste very good, and you had a good taste here."

Qin Shiou said with a smile while tossing the eel meat: "in fact, there is usually a sea smell, but there is no smell. The fish, shrimp and seaweed here will not rot and stink after death, but will be eaten by scavenging biological decomposition. But you're lucky. Just a few days ago, the strong wind blew away, and the fishy smell of the sea was also blown away. There was no convection up and down, and the fishy smell in the depths of the sea hasn't spread. That's why I brought you to sea. This is the best opportunity to watch the sea in winter. "

The sauce was stewed into a paste. He turned off the fire, covered the pot and let the sauce stew the eel for a while, which would make it more delicious.

The next step is to cook other fish dishes. One sea bass is splashed with oil and one is braised in brown sauce, the COD is stewed, the turbot is smeared with oil and sauce and baked in the oven, and the small herring and small mackerel are cut off and deep fried.

Looking at Qin's father's fried fish, Xiao Hui smiled at Shirley: "my grandmother makes fried fish very delicious. You'll eat more later."

Gordon teased Xiao Hui and said, "why do you only say to Shirley? If Shirley eats more, what about me? I also want to eat more, okay? "

Xiao Hui was thin skinned and scratched his head with embarrassment: "of course."

Shirley kicked back quietly, accurately kicked Gordon on the back knee, grinned with pain and sucked cold air: "Shirley, what are you crazy..."

"Come out and I'll tell you what I'm crazy about." Shirley smiled sweetly, turned back and quickly grabbed Gordon's ear and pulled him out of the yacht restaurant. Gordon screamed and begged for mercy. Melon tilted his head with a small bowl and looked seriously. His big eyes blinked. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Shiou saw Gordon look miserable, so he clapped his hands and said, "Shirley, let him go. Go wash your hands. Let's eat and eat quickly."

Shirley patted Gordon on the cheek and said with a smile, "go and thank Qin for saving your life." Then she went to wash her hands with disgust on her face. She used hand sanitizer several times and kept saying that Gordon's ears were dirty.

You have to drink to eat on the sea. In winter, the sea is wet and cold, which can freeze into people's bones. Qin Shiou took out a bottle of brandy with high degree, strong heat and spicy taste. This is the most distinctive drinking wine that fishermen always have on the sea.

In addition to blossoming, including the teenagers, they were also given a small cup. It's good for their health to drink some spirits overnight on the sea.

The strong wine flavor blends with the delicious taste of fish and shrimp, coupled with the fragrance of vegetables, and the sea feast begins.
