Indulge in Life in America

"Kabayaki" refers to the practice of cutting the fish in half and skewering it on a stick for grilling, while brushing and soaking the sauce for a better taste. If it is grilled without the sauce, it is called "white grilling."

Although in theory Kabayaki does not limit the fish species, in fact, this practice has been almost exclusively used for eel preparation from the beginning. At most, it has been used for eel-shaped fish such as conger eels, wolf tooth eels, and loach. Anyway, I have almost never heard of other dishes like Kabayaki pork, Kabayaki beef, and Kabayaki.

In fact, the original Kabayaki eel was just cut into sections and inserted on a stick for barbecue. It was named "Kabayaki" because it looked like a calamus.

With the development of technology, it gradually improved to what it is today. Although it no longer resembles a calamus, the name Kasaki is still used.

Don't underestimate this cooking technique. It is simple and simple, but it tests the perseverance of a craftsman for a lifetime. Why do you say that?

In the RB eel industry, there is a saying, "killing eel for three years, skewering eel for eight years, grilling eel for a lifetime", which means that grilling eel is a technique that has to be studied for a lifetime.

The "God of Eel" Kanjiro believes that the difficulty of grilling eel is to judge the physical condition of each eel. During the grilling process, it is also necessary to continuously fine-tune the difference in charcoal stacking and the release of eel fat. Only this way , In order to bring almost perfect eel to diners.

Unfortunately, like the bluefin tuna, the river eel is about to be eaten to extinction by the RB people.

This is really not a joke. Didn't you hear Yang Sen say that this year's output is less than half of last year's?

This still refers to farmed, natural natural eels are inherently small, and with high fishing costs, even RB can hardly eat the so-called wild river eels.

Of course, due to the particularity of eels, people catch eel fry and then start artificial reproduction.

As the protagonist of eel rice, RB eel, also known as river eel, has an unusually low output of its seedlings caught in the wild. In some areas, it only reached 1% of previous years. In fact, as early as 2014, RB eel was already endangered. Up.

Eels are extremely difficult to breed on a large scale because of their unique living habits.

The same is true for RB river eels. They were born in the sea and come to freshwater rivers when they were young. They will go to the sea to lay their eggs and spend the rest of their lives in the sea as adults.

The strange thing is that people have never been able to find where the adult eels lay their eggs in the sea.

Until the beginning of the last century, a group of scholars discovered the breeding grounds of European eels near Bermuda, 5,000 kilometers away from their hometown of freshwater.

So these scholars and experts also expanded their search, and finally found the newly hatched RB eel seedlings on the southern side of the Mariana Islands in 2005, proving that this is their breeding ground.

Before the long migration process, the eels do not distinguish between genders, but are stimulated on the migratory road, and the sexes reach maturity.

As for the stimulus, people have never known.

Since the 1930s, RB people have tried various methods. It took more than forty years to finally catalyze the eel to reach xing maturity in an artificial environment, thereby hatching eel seedlings through artificial breeding, but artificially hatched eels at that time The seedlings can only survive for 14 days.

It can be said that as a resource-poor country, RB people have tried their best to eat.

The newly born eel seedling is like a transparent thin willow leaf. Not only does it grow strangely, it only eats sea snow.

Sea snow is not snow in the sea, but a mixture of the corpses of plankton in the upper ocean and the excrement of other organisms. It is named because it will fall to the bottom of the sea.

So if you want to successfully raise big eels, you must make artificial sea snow, but with your big toe, you can also understand how difficult it is to artificially simulate sea snow.

Of course, with the continuous efforts of the RB people, it finally succeeded. Experts found that artificial sea snow made with the yolk of the white dogfish mixed with vitamins could barely be accepted by eel seedlings.

However, in a closed breeding environment, the sea snow sprinkled in the eel pond will stick to the wall, causing the water quality to deteriorate and a large number of fry deaths.

When the fry eat the artificial sea snow on the pool wall, the fragile jaw is easily bumped and deformed, making it impossible to eat.

Therefore, the RB people have developed a breeding equipment that specializes in cultivating plankton, which can ensure that food and fry are always suspended in the middle of the water through the water flow.

But the difficulty is not over yet. It solves the problem of small eel eating and also solves the problem of growth. The willow leaf eel seedling is transparent, so how to make it opaque is a headache for RB people.

But no way, people have to eat, right?

RB people can't live without eels. Who makes men of this nation naturally "short"! Can’t find ways to improve the harmony of life through external stimuli?

As we all know, eel has the magical effect of strong yang body.

In short, the RB people did not give up, and eventually found that by accidentally reducing the salinity of the seawater by 50% and stopping feeding, the willow leaf fry can become opaque eel fry.

Overcoming many difficulties, finally completed the first full artificial reproduction of RB eels more than ten years ago.

However, the cost price of each fry was as high as US$10,000. Although the price was later compressed to US$400, it was still far beyond the market's ability to bear.

The farming cost is only 400 US dollars, how much does it cost? Not to mention ordinary people, even Jinling dare not eat it often, at most once a year.

Artificial breeding has never made a decisive breakthrough, but the market demand is still strong, people can only go to catch more wild eel fry.

Coupled with economic development and over-exploitation of the environment, the freshwater environment in which eels live has been largely destroyed, excessive wild fishing and eating, and eel fry are facing exhaustion.

Maybe a few years later, eels will be auctioned at sky-high prices, just like bluefin tuna, eaten to extinction by life~www.wuxiaspot.com~Poor little eel.

Closer to home, a bowl of authentic eel rice is of course not only authentic ingredients, but also the process of making it.

Many people have the illusion that eel rice is just a piece of fried eel on top of the rice and topped with sauce. There is no technology at all and you can make it at home.

Indeed, regardless of the taste, you can do it yourself at home, but a bowl of authentic eel rice takes at least an hour, which is not considered a part of advance preparation.

For example, before the official production, in order to reduce the fishy smell of the eel, the eel will be kept hungry in the pool for a day or two, and then go through the five indispensable steps of cutting, skewering, grilling, steaming, and burning. Finally, Can be presented on people’s tables.

Behind this production process is the attitude of every eel master to strive for perfection, but in the fast-moving era, who would wait for an hour for a bowl of eel rice?

Maybe most people are not willing, unless the rich and leisurely foodies are willing to give everything in order to eat an authentic taste!
