Chapter 349: Go to the special "freshwater salmon"

Although the net harvest is mainly a school of chinook salmon, there are actually many other fish in it, such as Pacific flounder, which also migrate with the school of chinook salmon, which is labor-saving and fast. There are also cod, and of course, predators are also caught by purse seine. In addition to the few fur seals just now, there are mackerel sharks and Pacific bluefin tuna.
The mako shark is thrown directly back into the sea, while the bluefin tuna. . . . . . Bloodletting, cutting cheeks and viscera, directly enter the ultra-low temperature quick freezing chamber.
Yep. This is a fortune. . . . . .
"Boss, I really made a fortune now. Seven large bluefin tuna, each weighing three to four hundred kilograms. More than 30 tons of large scale salmon, more than ten tons of Pacific cod, plus a few tons of Pacific flounder, albacore tuna There are also several tons of trash fish such as bonito and bonito. How much can this be sold for." Wang Hu was excited.
It seems that bluefin tuna and albacore tuna mixed together, and they came in together.
Xiao Peng picked up the cut tuna tail and looked at it, "Xiao Qiu, give me a knife."
Xiaoqiu handed Xiao Peng a dagger, Xiao Peng cut off a piece of meat from the tail of the fish he had cut off, and tasted it in his mouth: "It's okay. A grade. You can sell it for more than 100 without going to auction. Mijin is a pound."
"Pound? How much is a pound?" Wang Hu asked.
"454 grams, North America and Europe like to use this unit of measurement, in fact, it's just another unit of measurement." Xiao Peng said.
Wang Hu calculated for a long time: "Does this one have to be close to one hundred thousand meters gold?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Oh, this is actually not a big one. The really big ones can grow to more than 1,200 kilograms. It's a pity now that catching a 150 kilograms can be considered a bumper harvest."
Xiaoqiu stared at the cut fish tail: "There is still a lot of meat here, you can make a sashimi."
"Don't be ashamed, okay?" Xiao Peng said silently, "Just make a soup for the fish tail. Go get a piece of albacore tuna, and make sashimi after waking up for a day. Everyone will eat with their stomachs open." How many catties is not enough for the people on the boat?
What Xiao Peng said about waking up for a day refers to the'maturing' process of tuna meat. You should know that the flesh of tuna has tendon texture, and this ‘aging’ process is to soften the tendon.
Tuna is a typical representative of the fish that needs to be matured in Japanese cuisine. Generally speaking, the maturing method of tuna is to wrap the tuna in a layer of absorbent paper and place it in an environment with controlled temperature and humidity, such as in a refrigerator. , Replace the absorbent paper regularly and monitor the maturity. Sometimes in order to keep the temperature low, a plastic bag is placed outside the absorbent paper, placed in ice cubes, and aged in the refrigerator compartment.
The maturation time of tuna is related to the size of the tuna, and it also depends on the time from when the fish is killed to the time it is transported to the restaurant. Generally speaking, small and medium-sized tuna can be matured for one or two days, while large frozen tuna can be matured for 10-14 days, and some can even be matured for about 20 days.
The fish on the Vladimir were freshly hooked, and it was almost a day old.
"Long live the boss!" Xiao Qiu cheered directly after hearing Xiao Peng's words. Albacore tuna is no longer worth any money, so it is not a problem to buy a large one for thousands of dollars, Xiao Peng directly took it out for everyone to eat. Can Xiaoqiu be excited?
"Don't talk nonsense, go and wake up the fish. Tell everyone to subdivide the cabin, maybe there will be fish in a while." Xiao Peng said.
"Yes! Boss!" Everyone hurriedly sorted the fish.
Xiao Peng saw that there was nothing wrong on the deck and strolled back to the cockpit.
"What fish?" Yang Meng asked when Xiao Peng came in. He had been steadying his rudder in the cockpit just now, without seeing the situation on the deck.
Xiao Peng replied: "Chicken salmon school. Mixed with flounder tuna and the like. If we come to Petropavlovsk if we come to this group again, we can make a lot of money."
"Chicken salmon? Isn't Heilongjiang Province of our country known as the "Hometown of Salmon"?" Yang Meng asked.
Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, it has something to do with the living habits of salmons. Simply put, they were born in the river and grow in the sea. When they mature, they return to the stream where they were born, and they lay their eggs. Dying, generation after generation repeats itself. The proverb does not always say, "Salmon loves its hometown, grows in the sea and returns to its hometown." The salmon in our country is generally humpback salmon and red salmon, mainly distributed in the Wusuli River. The Songhua River, Tumen River and other water systems, but most of these rivers’ inlets are not in the country, so the quality of the salmon caught in our country is not high. The salmon we encountered is called Chinook salmon. There is also a domineering name. , Called the Emperor Salmon."
Yang Meng frowned and asked, "This salmon is salmon, right?"
"Uh." Xiao Peng was taken aback: "Well, you can say that or not. This problem is too big, and it's really not clear in one sentence or two sentences."
Yang Meng lit the pipe: "Anyway, we have more time now, you can talk about it."
Xiao Peng lay down on a lounger, put his mind clone on the bottom of the sea to find a school of fish, lit a cigarette and chatted with Yang Meng: "A long, long time ago, there was a kind of fish in the North Atlantic Ocean. Every year it migrated to the rivers along the coast of Europe. It spawns in the river. Because this fish will struggle to jump up the waterfall to swim upstream when it is migrating. So people call it by the Latin "salmo", which means rising, and then the word gradually evolved into "salmon", also It is our transliterated salmon. In other words, Atlantic salmon is pure salmon."
Yang Meng was puzzled after hearing this: "But now I see what Alaskan salmon, Norwegian salmon, and freshwater salmon are there. There are so many types."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Zoological taxonomists have found that there are fish similar to Atlantic salmon all over the world, because they are not only like Pacific salmon, their body color changes when they migrate, but the upper and lower jaws become hook-shaped. So taxonomists divide them into the genus Salmon, while Atlantic salmon belong to the genus Salmon. But they are all under the Salmon subfamily, which, to put it bluntly, are close relatives. And according to the time of their spawning, they can Divided into two groups of organisms, summer type and autumn type, we only have autumn type in our country. In other words, pure salmon is Atlantic salmon. And these close relatives are generally collectively called Pacific salmon."
"Then why are there so many different salmons now?" Yang Meng asked.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "This is another story. Because Atlantic salmon is very popular, the market price is very high. Profiteers have discovered that many species of Pacific salmon resemble Atlantic salmon! So those merchants wanted to open it. The concept of popularity hype uses the feature of the word'salmon' in the English name of Pacific salmon to confuse Pacific salmon with the well-known'salmon', so the salmon on the market is also confused, what Alaskan salmon, Fish such as red salmon appeared on people's tables."
Yang Meng sighed: "Is this Nima cheating money?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "You are wrong. This is really not a scam, but it can only be regarded as opening up the market, because the price of the real high-quality wild Pacific salmon is much higher than that of the Atlantic salmon! It's just that they are flowing into the high-end tables in Europe and America. my country rarely imports it."
Yang Meng asked incomprehensibly: "Then why do you call them profiteers?"
Xiao Peng laughed loudly: "Mengzi, you are still too naive. Haven't you heard of freshwater salmon and golden salmon? If you have heard of it, then I will tell you, that is the real method of profiteers. The so-called'longevity fish' is ruthless!"
"What's wrong with freshwater salmon? Isn't it rainbow trout? But Dunyang Baike says it is ‘water ginseng’." Yang Meng asked with his mobile phone.
Xiao Peng smiled: "The business must spend money on Dompedia. Do you believe in Dompedia? As long as you are willing to spend money, the pheasant who sleeps with others will become'famous actors' or famous models'! Those' Don’t you understand what’s going on with "Periphery Girl"? Just find someone to pack it, create a fake encyclopedia, and spend a night with someone to start with a five-digit number! Now, look at what is written in this entry, This rainbow trout is about to become a "sacred fish" that can cure all diseases! In fact, rainbow trout is nothing, but it can only be said that it is an ordinary fish. It is nothing for the merchants to brag about him. Doesn't the old king sell melons? But it shouldn't be absolutely necessary, and it should not be promoted with'freshwater salmon' as a gimmick! Today, if you go to many places to eat salmon, you will eat this so-called'freshwater salmon'."
Yang Meng asked, "Then why do they use rainbow trout to impersonate salmon?"
Xiao Peng disdainfully said: "This is the profiteer I just mentioned. Because rainbow trout lives in fresh water and the cost of breeding is low, they sell this cheap fish at the same high price as salmon in order to make huge profits. The albino rainbow trout was named Golden Trout and sold at a high price! Actually? Rainbow trout is trout! It is not salmon at all! The English name does not even have'salmon'! It is ridiculous to say that this rainbow trout was introduced into China, Because the output is too high, the supply exceeds the demand, and the price is very cheap, the merchants desperately hype the concept of "freshwater salmon", and then the market goes up, and even the rainbow trout in many tourist attractions is more expensive than salmon! You say What is this not a profiteer?"
"Then it's nothing great. It can only be said that the people have a lot of money and people are stupid. When there is a hype, a group of people follow the trend." Yang Meng said disdainfully, smoking a cigarette.
"Nothing great? What if I said it was killing people? What would you think?" Xiao Peng said coldly.
Yang Meng was shocked when he heard this: "Hurt people? Is it so scary?"
