A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village

Chapter 420: Dungeness Crab and Lobster (Second)

   A week goes by quickly.

  20 fishing boats of various types, plus three transport ships, a total of 23 fishing boats are moored at Nemuro Fishing Port.

   After years of development, the Nemuro fishing port of Ruo has expanded several times. Now there is a faint trend of one of the largest fishing ports in Hokkaido.

  Now the Nemuro Fishing Port not only has fishing boats, but also a lot of cargo ships. In the future, it is estimated that it will be divided into a combination of fishing ports and cargo ports.

   "It's been a long time since I came to the fishing port, but it's still so busy." Minami Shuuichi looked at the busy fishing port, fishermen coming and going, loading and unloading seafood... the familiar whistle...

   "Let's go, let's get on the boat and prepare to go." Minami Shuuichi took the three girls on a 1000-ton trawler.

   In this way, 23 ships set off in such a mighty manner, and after leaving the fishing port, they headed directly towards the Arctic Ocean.

   It still takes several months to travel from Hokkaido to the Arctic Ocean.

   So the boring days at sea come again. Fortunately, this time Nan Yexiu brought three women along with him, and also brought bad entertainment items, so he wouldn't go crazy.

   Anyway, Iloti's favorite thing is to shoot, Kino Nako focuses on Yu Hengying, Miyamoto Yuko is simple, she locks in the room and draws comics when she is free.

   On the top of the boat, Shuichi Minano, Kimura and others were bragging.

   "Arctic Ocean, I haven't been to the Arctic Ocean for most of my life, this time I finally have the chance to see it." The old man Kimura was smoking his chimney.

   "I haven't been there either. I heard that it is the northernmost point of the earth. It's very cold. All of them are icebergs?" Ishida asked curiously.

   "Yes, but this time we are fishing at the periphery, so we don't need to be close to the glacier area. After all, it is more dangerous. If we touch the glacier, it will sink." Nanye Xiu smiled.

   After more than two months of sailing, this ocean-going fishing fleet finally entered the outer waters of the Arctic Ocean.

   "Mr. President, which direction are we going to go?" The old man Kimura in the cab asked Minano Shuichi.

  The Arctic Ocean is so big, there must be a direction.

   "Go to the confluence of the Barents Sea and the Greenland Sea!" Minamino Shuichi pointed on the map.

"OK!"

After    entered the Arctic Ocean, the overall temperature dropped.

  Although the Arctic Ocean is a world of ice and snow, the climate is cold, and there are long polar nights, which are not conducive to the growth of animals and plants, but it is not a barren land where no grass grows and creatures are extinct as people imagine. Of course, compared to other oceans, the species and number of creatures are relatively poor. The plants on the islands are mainly moss and lichen, and some southern islands have cold-resistant herbs and small shrubs; the animals are the most famous white bears living on the islands, ice floes and icebergs, known as the symbol of the Arctic, and others Walruses, seals, snow rabbits, arctic foxes, reindeer and whales etc. Due to the low temperature and water temperature, and few plankton, the species and quantity of fish are also small. Only the Barents Sea and the Greenland Sea are located at the intersection of cold and warm currents, and there are many fish, rich in herring and cod, which are the world's largest One of the famous fishing grounds.

  The marine life in the Arctic Ocean is quite rich, with the most near the land, and the deeper the Arctic Ocean, the less. There are extensive fishing areas adjacent to the Atlantic fringe, with flourishing algae (green, brown and red algae). There are polar bears, walruses, seals, whales, herring, cod and so on in the ocean. Snow rabbits and arctic foxes with valuable fur in the tundra. In addition, there are reindeer, pole dogs and so on.

   This is also the reason why Minano Shuichi went there in the first place.

   This is the third day in the Arctic Ocean and the third day on the way to the confluence of the Barents and Greenland seas.

   One advantage of fishermen at sea is that they can eat wherever they go!

   No, just three days after coming to the Arctic Ocean, the fishermen who were bored on the fishing boats brought up a lot of seafood unique to the Arctic Ocean.

   Two of Minamino’s favorites are Dungeness Crab and Canadian Lobster!

  Canadian lobster is a large lobster unique to Canada, originating in the Arctic Ocean and the waters of Canada.

   At the table, Minano Shuichi was eating Canadian lobster and was full of praise for it. He had never eaten a large lobster in a previous life, but not a Canadian lobster. After transmigration and rebirth, he has also eaten many other varieties of lobster. But this time, after eating Canadian lobster, I was instantly conquered by this Canadian lobster!

  The first Canadian lobster salvaged is the freshest, and secondly it tastes really delicious.

   Seafood lovers often regard Canadian lobster as the "king of seafood", and they will be full of praise as long as they taste its deliciousness. It is worth mentioning that this large lobster only grows in the icy and pure pristine waters of the rugged and winding Atlantic coast of Canada, which can be described as rare and precious.

  Minami Shuuichi remembers that in the previous life, the price of lobsters in the Canadian lobster 258 yuan per piece (gross weight 1.5 catties) remained high for a long time in the seafood market, and the retail price was about 200 yuan per catty.

   This is enough to see that Canadian lobster is indeed a high-end seafood.

  In addition to Canadian lobster, another seafood also conquered his stomach, this seafood is Dungeness crab!

   Dungeness crab is also one of the specialties of the Arctic Ocean.

"Nano-kun, try this Dungeness crab! It's not the same as king crab. This time I didn't use the island cooking method, but chose another way." Kino Nako pointed to the dish on the table. Dungeness Crab.

   "I'll try it." Minano Hideyoshi felt his index finger move when he took a sniff.

"How about it?"

"Delicious! Dungeness crab, the crab is big and meaty, fresh and delicious. With your improved curry, it's less spicy than Indian curry, more sweet than Thai and softer than Chinese, combined with a variety of spices. And coconut milk, the curry flavor is as fragrant as coconut milk and flower milk. The taste is slightly spicy and sweet, and it completely penetrates into the crab meat. The egg mixture is mixed with the curry sauce and poured over the crab body. The color is golden. Oily but not greasy." Nanye Xiuyi said after taking a few bites. I have to say that Kino Nako's cooking skills are definitely on par with those of Ami Inoue.

   "It's so delicious? I'll try it too!" Iloti was also interested. She used to eat Dungeness crabs in Meidi, but she always ate them in hotels. She has never eaten such a common practice.

   "Hmm~ delicious." Iloti soon gave Kino Nako a thumbs up.

   This Dungeness Crab is very popular in later generations, 248 yuan per piece (gross weight 1.7-1.9 catties). This crab generally grows in deep sea waters, and the growth environment is pure. Crab shells are particularly hard, large and fleshy, rich in protein, and are an excellent source of high-quality protein; they also contain various amino acids needed by the human body, making them a natural choice for consumers who pursue balanced nutrition.
