My Deep-sea Fishery

"Where did you get so many flower crabs? This is not a cold water crab, did you buy it?" Xiang Yang grabbed a flower crab and asked.

Flower crabs are warm-water crabs, and they are also found in coastal areas of our country, but Xiangyang rarely sees this kind of crabs.

"I myself do ocean-going fishing, do I need to buy crabs?" Gao Chuang said unhappily.

Xiang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled, yes, that's right, although Gao Chuang's fleet is now in Antarctica, it also sailed from the coast of Longcheng. It is not surprising that they can catch some flower crabs .

Flower crabs are rich in protein, trace elements, etc., which have a good nourishing effect on the body.

Xiang Yang broke off a crab claw and started eating.

The taste is not much different from ordinary swimming crabs, very delicious.

Crabs have been said to have four flavors since ancient times.

Xiang Yang's favorite food is crab legs.

Xiang Yang felt that crab legs were more delicious than crab roe. The meat of the thighs was short and slender, and it melted in the mouth.

The shank shreds are long and tender, as beautiful as whitebait.

Of course, crab body meat is also an excellent seafood.

The crab body is white and crystal clear, better than white fish, but there are a lot of crab gills on the crab body, even if it is removed, it still has a little fishy smell, Xiang Yang doesn't like to eat it very much.

Flower crabs contain a large amount of essential nutrients such as protein, fat, phospholipids, and vitamins. They are very nutritious, so Xiang Yang is not polite to eat, and eats one after another.

Seeing that Xiang Yang was eating happily, Gao Chuang immediately smiled and said, "The portunus crabs from the open sea are large in size, high in food value, delicious in meat, and rich in nutrition. If you like it, you can eat more."

Hearing this, Xiang Yang stopped eating.

Xiang Yang put down the flower crab in his hand, and said with a smile: "The flower crab is indeed the main seawater economic crab in the coastal areas of our country, but it is actually the swimming crab, and the taste is actually similar to the swimming crab, and it is still not as delicious as the tiger crab. "

Upon hearing this, Gao Chuang pulled out a flower crab from the basin, "If you don't eat it, I will."

Xiang Yang picked up the flower crab again, and said with a smile, "I didn't say I wouldn't eat it."

Flower crabs have many functions, such as nourishing tendons and qi, regulating stomach and eliminating food, dispersing all kinds of heat, dredging meridians, relieving knots and dispersing blood.

Often eating flower crabs has a certain dietary effect on congestion, jaundice, waist and leg pain, and rheumatoid arthritis.

In addition, flower crabs have very high nutritional value and are rich in protein and trace elements. They have a good nourishing effect on the body, have anti-tuberculosis effects, and are of great benefit to the recovery of tuberculosis.

Wu Shiwen grasped one of the key points, "Brother Yang, you just said that flower crabs are swimming crabs?"

Xiang Yang nodded, "That's right, the flower crab is indeed a type of swimming crab, but there are certain differences."

Flower crabs are named for the patterns on their shells. Except for the patterns on the crab shells, flower crabs are very similar to swimming crabs.

Both flower crabs and swimming crabs belong to the class Crustacea, Decapoda, and Portunidae, and are important economic crabs along the coast of my country.

In addition, whether it is swimming crab or flower crab, their growth rate is very fast, and the breeding profit is huge. They are important breeding species in coastal areas of our country.

In terms of taste, the meat of flower crabs of the same size is thicker than that of swimming crabs, and the meat of swimming crabs is more tender. The taste of both is very delicate. Which one is more delicious depends on personal taste and preferences.

After eating a few swimming crabs, Xiang Yang was half full.

After toasting everyone with a glass of wine, Xiang Yang asked with a smile, "Mr. Gao, now that the snowstorm has stopped, what are we going to do next?"

"Next?" Gao Chuang rubbed his aching head, "Let's not talk about these things now, we will talk about drinking and work tomorrow."

Xiang Yang was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Xiang Yang knew that Gao Chuang's fleet suffered a lot from this blizzard.

Gao Chuang held this banquet to celebrate the rest of his life, but more importantly, to comfort everyone in the fleet.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Yang picked up another flower crab and said with emotion: "Compared with its distant relative, king crab, the price of flower crab is much more affordable."

Gao Chuang nodded, "That's right, flower crabs are a seafood that people in the sea often eat. They can be seen all year round. Although they are not the most delicious, they are definitely the most affordable."

"When I was young, the crab that I ate most was the flower crab. At that time, the flower crab on the boat was cheap, and we could eat whatever we wanted. If the crab on the boat was its distant relative, the king crab, then I would not be so lucky."

Xiang Yang nodded, "That's right, there are many ways to cook and eat flower crabs. I often ate them when I was a child, but I rarely saw this kind of crabs after I went to sea."

In the past, Xiang Yang's favorite food was steamed flower crabs. After cooking, the original taste was very delicious.

This is also the favorite practice of many people in Qinglong Bend.

It's not that the flower crabs cooked in this way are the best.

Rather, it is the easiest and easiest way to cook flower crabs in this way. It is easy enough to cook in a steamer without any cooking skills. Even Xiang Yang, who has no cooking skills at all, can do it.

Prepare the ingredients flower crabs, steam as many as you want, grab as big as you want, put them in the pressure cooker, sprinkle some ginger slices, appropriate amount of shallots, and add some water to steam directly.

It doesn't even need seasoning after it's cooked.

The production step is to first choose the flower crab that you see in your eyes and scrub it clean.

Then cut the ginger into slices or shreds, and wash the shallots.

Finally, put a few slices of ginger in the steamer, put the flower crabs on the steamer one by one, lie on the stomach, and cook for 15 minutes.

It is worth mentioning that whether it is steamed flower crab or hairy crab, the belly must be steamed upwards to prevent the crab roe or crab paste from flowing out. It would be a pity to waste such a good thing.

In addition, flower crabs may struggle and move around during steaming. In order to prevent it from losing arms and legs after steaming, it should be tied with cotton thread, so as to better ensure its integrity, but it’s okay if you eat it yourself Relationship, delicious is the last word.

These flower crabs cooked by Gao Chuang are cooked in this way, simple and authentic.

"The condiments on the boat are limited, so we can only cook it like this. In fact, the flower crab tastes better when it is fried." Gao Chuang said with a smile.

Xiang Yang nodded, "That's right, besides steaming fresh flower crabs, frying them is also a very good way to eat."

"And if you copy and eat, you can also try to match it with various ingredients, all of which are naturally delicious." Xiang Yang said.

For example, how to eat fried rice cakes with flower crabs, the deliciousness of flower crabs and the softness of rice cakes blend together, and even the rice cakes have a seafood flavor.

Of course, fried flower crabs are much more difficult than steamed flower crabs.

With Xiang Yang's cooking skills, at most he could only scrub the swimming crabs clean, then break open the shells, and remove the navel and gills of the flower crabs.

As for how to break the flower crab meat in half without losing the crab shell, Xiang Yang couldn't do it by keeping the delicious crab roe and crab paste in the crab shell.
