Chapter 1084
"I said...Yang Ming, what do you think of doing now?" Xingping Soma has always been a silent star, and such silence always made him feel uncomfortable, so he simply spoke directly.
Jun Imusaki rolled his eyes at Yukihira Soma. Once there was a sound, the quiet atmosphere just now disappeared instantly.
"No..." Yang Ming rubbed his hands and replied, "I don't do much snapper..."
The main producing areas of snapper in China are QHD, Dalian, Qingdao and other places. Yang Ming can only say that he has eaten them. As for cooking by himself... Yang Ming wants to ask, should he watch others do the math?
Learning about seafood cuisine is really a difficult proposition for Yang Ming. Even if he takes extra classes, he can only learn some theoretical knowledge. If you use those frozen sea fish to cook, the ingredients will lack the freshness and it is impossible to learn anything.
"Oh..." Yukihira Souma understood, "After I buy it later, we will teach you."
"Okay..." Yang Ming is very self-aware when it comes to cooking and never shows off. He asked them both to come together just to help him complete this final dish.
"Let's walk a little faster...otherwise we may not be able to buy Akashi sea bream." Jun Imusaki said suddenly.
"Akashi sea bream?"
"……do not you know?"
"Hahaha... how is that possible! I even know that snapper can change from female to male!"
Yang Ming first learned about snapper, not on the dining table or in the water, but on TV, in a documentary program called "Animal World."
What he remembers most deeply is that the snapper population usually consists of a large group of females and one male, allowing the male to enjoy the gorgeous harem of seventy-two concubines in three palaces, six courtyards, and the other. But this kind of group is very unscientific in nature, because the death of the male means the disintegration of the group.
However...the smart snappers have evolved in very powerful ways! After the only male in the group dies, the strongest female secretes a large amount of male hormones to cause the ovaries to disappear, the testes to grow, and she becomes a male fish!
Yang Ming was still young when he saw this documentary. He just thought the creature like snapper was so amazing that he kept watching the entire documentary with this expression. (⊙o⊙)
However, now that I think about it... I always feel that this kind of fish is so shameless... It is self-defeating, and girls give birth to children. It is true that all kinds of heavy taste labels in Jinjiang can be applied to it.
"But...do you know what use that is for cooking?"
This immediately confused Yang Ming. He had no choice but to listen obediently as Jun Imusaki introduced the characteristics of sea bream to him.
…
"So that's it!"
Snapper is a famous white-bodied fish. The fish meat is mainly composed of fast-twitch muscle fibers and has little body fat, so it is white in color and light in taste. In contrast, red-bodied fish such as tuna have muscles composed of slow-twitch muscle fibers and are rich in fat. Myoglobin, overall red.
There are many types of sea bream, such as red sea bream, yellow sea bream, flower sea bream, black sea bream... There are not many classifications of sea bream in China, but the Japanese people classify them very carefully. The sea bream they call is generally Refers to the sea bream.
From autumn to spring every year, it is the fishing season for red sea bream. The sea bream caught at different times also has different names: the sea bream caught during the cherry blossom season in spring is called "Hanami sea bream" or "sakura sea bream", with a color as beautiful as cherry blossoms and delicious meat; while in summer, sea bream is just caught After spawning, the vitality is greatly weakened and the taste is poor. Many people despise the "wheat straw sea bream". However, in the autumn when the harvest is abundant, the plump and plump sea bream is called "red leaf sea bream".
Just because of the different seasons, so many patterns can be distinguished. Yang Ming had to admire the Japanese people's naming skills...
In this autumn selection to pay tribute to the God of Harvest and pray to the God for blessings, the ingredient chosen by Yang Ming and Ryo Hayama must be "red leaf sea bream".
Japan's red sea bream has many production areas. Hyogo Prefecture in Kobe City, Tokushima Prefecture in the Shikoku region, and the beautiful Kanagawa are all well-known natural sea bream production areas. But the most famous one is the one usually found on the menus of top Japanese restaurants - "Akashi sea bream".
The currents in this section of the Akashi Strait are turbulent, and the sea bream's meat becomes firmer and more elastic as it travels. The migratory sea bream caught in this area is called "Akashi sea bream," and it is one of the most precious sea bream in Japan. Fish species. But this is the season for sea bream, and you should be able to buy it at the fish market near Totsuki Academy.
"Then let's go buy "Akashi Sea Bream"! "Yang Ming immediately issued the marching order! Target! Akashi Seabream!
Army attack!
The price of sea bream is not expensive, but Akashi sea bream is different. Yang Ming understands this very well. It is the same as hairy crabs - ordinary hairy crabs produced in Taihu and Chaohu only cost tens of yuan a pair, and Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs The price has soared into hundreds or even thousands, dozens of times the former.
And even if you want to eat it, it is difficult to buy it. Most of the Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs sold by sellers all over the country are bathing crabs. They are caught in other places. After soaking in Yangcheng Lake for a few days, you dare to claim that you are selling Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs. I’m really not ashamed! There are many things like this, such as West Lake Longjing, Shanxi mature vinegar, Yunnan Pu'er...the output of these things sold every year is hundreds of times the output of the place of origin. As for what is sold, it probably doesn't matter. Everyone can understand it.
The jurisdiction of Japan in terms of food ingredients is much stricter than that of China. For top ingredients such as Akashi sea bream and Kobe beef, if they are produced somewhere, they must be produced in that place. The jurisdiction is very strict. It also completes the reputation of these ingredients.
"We're here!" Xing Ping Soma said suddenly.
Needless to say, Yang Ming also understood that he had reached where he wanted to go. After turning a corner, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed, and even the sound of the wind became noisy.
The fish market is located in the corner of Totsuki Academy. It is an empty field with some greenhouses and shelves, and there are all kinds of seafood everywhere. People who entered the venue all had their eyes wandering around the fish that had a strong smell of sea water. The sellers stared at the people walking by and praised loudly the freshness of their seafood.
"Is this... the fish market?" Yang Ming looked at it carefully, "It looks amazing!"
"Pick me the biggest one!"
"How much does this cost per kilogram?!"
"Give way! Give way!"
