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

Arctic fennel are freshwater fish, and of course they can also enter the ocean. For example, when they migrate and lay eggs, they will enter the outer sea. As we all know, people in Europe and North America do not like to eat freshwater fish, but Arctic fennel is an exception.

The biggest advantage of this fish is that it is very large in individuals, with more meat and less prickly meat, delicious taste, high nutritional value, and the fish contains less cholesterol and is easy to digest. Translated that, they can be eaten with a knife and fork with confidence. If you eat too much, you won’t gain weight and will not cause cerebrovascular diseases.

For white people, these characteristics are combined and put on a fish, it is a good fish.

Why don’t they eat Asian carp? Because Asian carp has many bones, strong earthy smell, high fat and cholesterol content, poor taste by traditional methods, and is simply two extremes with Arctic fennel.

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

In addition, most of the cold-water fish are carnivorous species, with fresh and tender meat and delicious food, and the edible part is large.

Qin Shiou only roughly understood Arctic fennel. Anyway, there is no such fish in the entire Newfoundland area, so it is useless if he knows too much. However, his memory is extremely outstanding, so he remembers everything he knows, including how to eat this fish.

Chinese people like to eat hot pot, while white people in Canada and the United States don’t like this method very much, but Arctic fennel is suitable for cutting off fish meat and eating shabu.

Qin Shiou gave the answer, and the ship owner smiled happily and said, "Yes, it's suitable for eating pork shabu, but this is just one way to eat. Come on, let's clean up and prepare to cut the meat. However, before that, I have to show you a little trick."

Forty or fifty Arctic fennel fish were chiseled out of the entire piece of floating ice, and the amount of mining is considerable. This is because Arctic fennel fish are herd trout and like to gather together to live, so when a piece of water forms ice, they will be frozen together.

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

Even fish of the same size have different colors on the body surface. The owner packed up some fish with extra bright body surfaces and hung them under the eaves. Obviously, he didn't plan to eat them anymore.

Qin Shiou looked at it and said nothing. The owner of the ship was afraid that he would misunderstand it and explained: "You should know that the brighter the Arctic fennel fish is, the worse the taste is. This kind of fish is only suitable for drying fish."

"Oh, man, I understand, it's okay." Qin Shiou nodded. Color is a weapon for Arctic fennel, which is used to warn the enemy not to prey on it. In this case, the internal nutrition of the fish is used to develop external colors and the meat is not good.

The boat owner raised the stove outdoors and put a pot on it. Then he picked a few fat Arctic fennel and put it in.

After a while, the ice cubes on the surface of these fish dissolved. Slowly, a fish's tail trembled, then its tail trembled again, and the fish's fins began to move. Finally, it began to swim in the water.

One by one, the fish in the pot were resurrected and swam uneasily in the warm water.

Seeing this, Qin Shiou said in surprise: "Wow, this is such a good trick. Didn't these fish die? How could it be? 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? Resurrection from the dead?"

The ship owner smiled when he saw him in surprise, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth: "Of course it is not to be resurrected from the dead. If he dies, he will enter the arms of God and will never return to the world. In fact, these Arctic anise fish are not dead, they are just frozen!"

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

"In this way, they are frozen in ice. There is only one possibility, that is, a night of cold wind, and the waters are suddenly frozen, and the temperature is very low. Otherwise, as long as the freezing speed is not fast enough, they can escape."

"Because Arctic fennel contains sugar muscles, quick freezing makes it impossible for the water inside and outside the fish cells to form regular sharp crystals, so that the cells will not be punctured, so the cells can survive. However, due to temperature, the metabolism of fish has stopped. In this way, they fell into 'hibernation'."

Qin Shiou didn't understand much, but he felt that the ship owner might not understand the reasons as well, so he pretended to understand and nodded admirably - he found that the ship owner liked to show his erudition. From the iceberg to the time when Xiong Er got along with melon, he has been analyzing problems in the way of "Adapting Science".

After these fish came alive, the owner took them out and chopped off their heads with an axe, and then explained: "What I explained just now is incomplete. In fact, it was a very complicated process. But I forgot to say that although these fish did not die, their organs had long been exhausted. After all, natural quick-cold is not technical freezing. They will die soon after they are resurrected. So, it would be better for me to kill them, and I would give them a good time, right?"

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Yes, you have made them fall into God's arms faster."

While flattering, he looked at the bloody fish head and body, thinking in his heart that these fish fell into God's arms like this, and he wondered if they would stain God's white robe.

The ship owner is a person who likes to listen to praise. Qin Shiou is in his favor and he has always been very excited.

Slice the fish meat, cut it into pieces, take out the fish roe, remove the fish bones, and the fat fish are cleaned up quickly.

The boat owner washed the fish roe several times, mixed it with some flour and chopped vegetable leaves, and pinched it into cakes, introducing: "This is the most delicious fish roe vegetable cake here, believe me, it tastes great!"

Qin Shiou washed the fish and smiled and said, "Then I can't wait to taste it. You may not know that after I came here, I have been eating ordinary fried fish and fried fish, which is really boring."

The owner said, "You should try whale meat and seal meat, didn't you eat it?"

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

The ship owner deeply agreed: "There is nothing more correct than your words. This is definitely the supreme delicacy. Come on, we can start the meal." (To be continued.)
