Surrounded by jewel-like waters and enjoying the graces of nature, Australia is not only a country with pleasant scenery, but also a place full of seafood delicacies. The pure and natural sea makes the seafood here famous all over the world.
The following kinds of seafood can be said to be very common, but they hide interesting and dangerous little secrets, you know?
Oysters
Oysters are the best in nutrition in seafood and have the title of "milk in the sea".
However, oysters have another lesser-known title – "natural water filter"!
A healthy oyster can filter up to 5 liters of water per hour and a whole bathtub a day
In addition, the place where oysters are strong is not only filtered water, but also the shell of oysters can also be used environmentally friendly.
Due to the large amount of calcium it contains, oyster shells can be used as feed or as fertilizer in the soil after crushing. The real whole body is treasure !!!
lobster
Lobster is a must-eat food for many people in summer, do you know how long the life span of lobster is?
Scientists have found that lobsters do not degrade their organs, and their lifespan is quite long, generally more than 50 years.
In fact, lobsters have no pain, and they will not feel pain when immersed in hot water!
In addition to the mouth, there are also taste recognition organs in the feet!!
In addition, lobsters have teeth, but their teeth do not grow in the mouth but in the stomach!!!
Isn't that amazing!!!
abalone
When many people eat abalone, they are accustomed to eating the whole abalone into their mouths. However, abalone also has "dead ends" that cannot be eaten!!!
Abalone offal is toxic and seasonal.
Related to the growth of seaweed, the toxic period is in February-May of each year, so the abalone internal organs must not be eaten during this period, which is easy to cause inflammation and toxic reactions of the skin.
The symptom of abalone toxin poisoning is red edema of the face and hands, and the reaction of people with allergies is even greater!
Many people eat abalone into an allergic constitution and do not know it, everyone quickly relayed it to the small partners who do not know!
sea urchin
How many people know what sea urchins feed on? Koala Jun remembered that some people had eaten microorganisms before, and only knew about it today! It turns out that sea urchins were grown up by gnawing on stones!
We often see sea urchins like a thorn ball that likes to stick to the stones of the sea, but few people know that sea urchins actually have teeth.
They evolve by eating stones, eventually becoming as sharp as a knife and not degenerating back,
The magic effect of the teeth is automatically sanded, and it also allows the sea urchin to constantly nibble on the stone, and eventually dig a nest in the rock that can hide itself.
King Crab & Emperor Crab
Many people can't tell the difference between king crab and emperor crab. In fact, the king crab generally refers to the Kamchatka quasi-stone crab, not the real crab, belonging to the decapod order Crooked tail suborder Stone Crab family.
The king crab shell is hard and the pincers are oversized
The emperor crab refers to the giant pseudo-coastal crab, produced in Australia, belonging to the decapod order Short suborder Fan Crab family, the two should not be confused!!!
The emperor crab shell is softer and the feet are long
The average crab is in a hurry, while the king crab can walk up and down, left and right. It's just going to be different!
salmon
Raw salmon fillets are a favorite of most sushi lovers, but there are parasites found in raw meat, and salmon is no exception. Raw salmon meat is home to many sea animal stomach worms and marine parasites.
So how can you ensure that you can eat fresh sashimi while dealing with the parasites?
In fact, freezing at a temperature below -20 ° C for more than 24 hours can kill the parasites, so eating salmon raw after freezing happens to be the most hygienic approach!
octopus
Do you know that octopuses are afraid of itching?
The octopus is a delicacy on the table, but it is a master hunter in the sea, with two sets of weapons, one soft and one hard, which are its tentacles and iron mouth.
According to some people on the seashore, after being held by an octopus, manpower cannot break free, but it is not so terrible.
If you go to the beach or handle an octopus and accidentally get tangled, scratch it, slowly remove it one by one, or slap the skin that is sucked nearby in order to break the vacuum inside the suction cup, it will soon fall off on its own.
scallops
Scallops are the same as abalone, the way to eat is actually very exquisite, offal can not be eaten.
The black thing on the scallop meat is a sand sac, the main function is to digest and excrete, can not be eaten; the lower orange or orange, eyelash-like parts are the cheeks, these should not be eaten.
In addition, with the increasing pollution, harmful substances such as heavy metals in seawater are increasingly exceeding the standard, so do not eat the mud intestines of scallops to avoid heavy metal poisoning.
There are two types of meat in scallops that are edible, one is the introverted muscle of the scallop, which is white and very meaty, and the other is the meat distributed around the introvert muscle, red and very soft.
Eat scallops while avoid drinking beer, eat persimmons or VC tablets, easy to cause stroke, diarrhea or poisoning. Remember! Remember!
Banana shrimp
The most popular in Australia is the banana shrimp, which is said to be because its body color is pale yellow, pure, like the color of bananas, and it will emit a faint fragrance, which is a must-have food for the Australian people's table.
Banana shrimp is actually Moji shrimp, which is more common in Coastal Areas such as Guangdong and Hainan in China.
The shell of banana shrimp is much thinner than that of ordinary shrimp, and the flesh is compact.
But let me say, the bully of shrimp, we have to count our crayfish!
Living in Hubei, Koala Jun loves braised prawns in oil, dear friends, what about you?
