My Deep-sea Fishery

"Those stone fishes can't compare to this one. Let's not talk about whether they are farmed or not, just talk about this head." Li Chao gestured with his hands twice, with a look of disdain.

Zhang Qicheng laughed and said: "The one in your hand is bigger, if you want to eat it, you can eat it."

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "Stonefish that can grow to such a large size are really rare. It's a pity to eat them. There are still many stonefish in this sea area. If I want to eat them, I will go down and fish some more later." .”

Zhang Qicheng was still arguing with Li Chao, but when he heard what Xiang Yang said, he immediately laughed and said, "Boss Xiang, what are you talking about? Isn't the stone fish just for eating? Don't care how big it is. Eat it and eat it, what's the pity?"

Li Chao said in surprise, "Old Zhang, do you really want to eat?"

Zhang Qicheng snorted, "What? I can't eat what I sell to other people? Or do you think that a person like me is not worthy of eating stone fish?"

Li Chao laughed, "I'm afraid that the stone fish will lose your value to Mr. Zhang. I wonder if you should eat the bluefin tuna meat in the morning and go down to the caviar? It turns out that the stone fish is also to your liking?"

"If you think the price is falling, then don't eat it for a while." Zhang Qicheng groaned a few times, and said in a bad mood: "Xiang Yang, tell the kitchen later that we will add another dish at noon and boil that stone fish .”

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng.

Chen Qingsheng said awkwardly: "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid the kitchen can't handle this dish."

"No way, stone fish are easy to cook. Picking out the poisonous glands is the same as cooking ordinary fish. Can't it be so simple?" Li Chao asked in surprise.

Xiang Yang explained: "We didn't hire a special cook on board, and the cooking is done in turn. There is no problem with cooking ordinary meals or sea fish, but for stone fish, this fish is not only a bit ugly, but also poisonous. , so I guess everyone will not do it, um, I know how to deal with poison glands, but cooking them is a bit confusing."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Qicheng said with a smile: "The stone fish looks a bit ugly, and it is indeed poisonous, but its meat is fresh and tender, without spines, and has high nutritional value, so it is undoubted that it is a kind of fish. For high-end ingredients, the wholesale price of stonefish that weighs one or two catties is generally above 200 yuan per catty, and stonefish that weighs more than three catties are sold by strip.”

Xiang Yang nodded, "I know all of this, but knowing is one thing, and I don't know how to do it."

Chen Qingsheng also nodded and said: "Yeah, this fish is so ugly that you lose your appetite just looking at it. We are not professional chefs, so how could we handle this kind of fish?"

Zhang Qicheng smiled triumphantly, "You won't, I will."

"Hey." Li Chao hooted, "Old Zhang, you can."

"That is."

Zhang Qicheng walked to a water tank, held the edge of the water tank with one hand, and turned the whole water tank over, and a huge rose stone fish inside immediately fell out of it.

Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched, "Are you sure you don't need a pair of gloves?"

The stonefish is also known as the sea scorpion. The spines on its body can easily penetrate the soles of shoes and pierce the soles of the feet, causing people to be quickly poisoned and in severe pain until death.

Zhang Qicheng waved his hand, took out the pocket knife he carried with him, put the blade on the lighter and roasted it for a while, and then saw that he flipped it skillfully with the pocket knife, and turned the whole stone fish over with its belly up.

"Snapped!"

He grabbed the lid on the tank and slammed it on the stonefish's head.

The stone fish didn't know whether it was knocked out or killed. In short, after Zhang Qicheng went down, the stone fish lay motionless on the ground.

Zhang Qicheng looked at Xiang Yang and smiled, "I'm hungry, now peel the skin."

I saw that he cut open the end of the stone fish's stomach and tail with a knife, and then pulled the ugly skin off the stone fish's body with a stroke of the knife.

Next, Zhang Qicheng tore it hard with both hands, and peeled off the entire skin of the stone fish.

Zhang Qicheng grabbed the stone fish, played with it in the palm of his hand, and then asked Xiang Yang with a smile: "There is only white meat left, can you still imagine that this is an ugly stone fish?"

Xiang Yang shook his head, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't be able to imagine that there is such a snow-white flesh under the hide of the stonefish's ugly lumps, just like Baixue."

Chen Qingsheng stretched out his hands and asked, "Mr. Zhang, this fish can be cooked now, right?"

"Not yet." Zhang Qicheng shook his head, "The poisonous glands on his body have to be removed."

"How to pick it?"

"Look at mine."

Zhang Qicheng cut open the back of the stone fish with a knife, first took out a black and red thing from inside, and then saw him pick it hard, and picked out the entire bone of the stone fish.

"Okay, take it and wash it, then wipe it with cooking wine and ginger, and then you can cook it after removing the fishy smell. You don't need to add any seasoning when cooking. The more top-notch ingredients, the simpler it is. Put the cooking method, you can stew it, and everyone will be full of praise when you eat it." Zhang Qicheng laughed.

Chen Qingsheng took the stone fish from Zhang Qicheng, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, you have already processed the fish. How to cook it is up to me. I will make steamed stone fish."

Zhang Qicheng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's up to you, as long as you don't add salt to it."

Chen Qingsheng cooks himself, he is still good at cooking.

It may be that Chen Qingsheng lost face because he didn't know how to handle stone fish, so he showed off when cooking stone fish, and asked someone to take a large pot from the kitchen to the deck.

I saw that he first cut the huge stone fish into diced fish, and then poured the diced meat into the clear water.

"Old Zhou, help me wash and dry the fish and put it on a plate." Chen Qingsheng ordered Zhou Wang to help. He used a knife to cut a dozen scallions into large pieces.

"Be careful, don't cut your own hands." Xiang Yang laughed.

"No, it looks like a master chef. One day, if you stop fishing, you can work as a chef in my hotel." Li Chao said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, don't laugh at me. I am at most the level of a housewife. I am in charge of a five-star hotel. Aren't you scolding me?" Chen Qingsheng said speechlessly.

At this time, Zhou Wang fished the diced fish out of the water and shouted, "Old Chen, the diced fish has been washed."

"Okay." Chen Qingsheng put the diced fish on a plate, sprinkled green onions on the fish to make a more attractive shape, then grabbed a handful of shredded ginger that had been prepared on the shore and sprinkled it on the fish, and then poured it on the big plate Pour a little more cooking wine into the pot, and then sprinkle salt into it.

"Don't." Zhang Qicheng quickly called to stop him, "Don't sprinkle salt, this fish can't be salted."
