Influencers use endangered man-eating sharks to make food?
A food internet celebrity is mainly to make a variety of seafood delicacies as a selling point, has accumulated millions of fans, homogenization of such a serious self-media industry, it is not easy to have such a number of fans. But I thought a blogger of this magnitude should be more cautious, and lately, she actually made a huge mistake that was enough to get her to jail.
On July 12, the blogger released a video in which she tries to make a delicacy using sharks as raw materials. This shark is very large, and its body length is similar to that of the blogger. After the shark is divided, the upper half is used for boiling and the lower half is used for grilling. The blogger is nibbling on a giant shark that looks as if it's chewy.
The video has accumulated 77,000 likes, but one popular science blogger has found something wrong: this shark is clearly a man-eating shark, which belongs to the national second-level protected animal! The so-called man-eating shark is actually a great white shark, the news says so, it may look more shocking, right? So I followed up with the writing, and later I still called the great white shark, more accustomed.
As a Grade II protected animal, any unauthorized fishing, retention and sale of man-eating sharks is an offence and is the same as buying and selling. Although the top left corner of the video reads "captive breeding", it is not credible at all, because the breeding demand for great white sharks is very high, and no one in the world has realized the commercial rearing of great white sharks. At present, the mainland only sells small non-endangered sharks such as striped spots and bamboo sharks, and as a coastal area, I have the privilege of eating them.
Zhou Zhuocheng, chairman of the China Fisheries Association's Native Aquatic Organisms and Water Ecology Professional Committee, also said that the shark in the video is indeed a great white shark, and it is indeed not artificially farmed.
Some reporters want to contact the Internet celebrity, naturally there is no reply, because the video appears on the streets of Nanchong, so the reporter contacted the local police, the police have intervened, I believe there will be a follow-up soon.
Shark meat is very different from other fish
Sharks, as top predators, resemble a variety of fish, so it has the highest mercury content of any seafood and passes it on to shark eaters. And its skin is very thick and rough, and it tastes like sand, so the skin has to be disposed of.
Sharks have urea in their bodies, a compound that helps sharks maintain their metabolic balance, but should not be consumed. When a shark dies, urea is converted into ammonia, and people must effectively remove urea to eat sharks. There are many ways to do this effectively, such as soaking sharks in brine, vinegar, lime juice, or milk for 30 minutes to two hours. The stronger the smell of ammonia, the longer the shark needs to soak
How does a shark feel when it tastes?
Shark meat bar, high emotional intelligence is said to have a dense, fuller texture, low emotional intelligence is chai, hard, but different shark taste may be different, after all, I have only eaten small striped sharks.
Shark meat tastes like chicken or crocodile meat, and it feels very meaty, but it is less chewy. If the urea in your body is not handled well, it will even have a bitter and sour taste when eaten, and it feels as if the shark is retaliating by hitting your taste buds.
postscript
Some sharks may become sustainable fish choices in the future, but for now, it is best not to eat sharks casually, because many sharks are protected animals, and the technology of shark handling is not mature enough to step on mines.
Shark fin soup is something that must not be eaten, and since there are no artificially farmed sharks, how does the large shark fin come from, is it not clear?
