First, Bao
Abalone is abalone, although it is said to be a "fish", but it has nothing to do with fish, but it is related to the field snail, and the shape is somewhat like a human ear, so it is also called "sea ear". Only traces are left in the spiral, which occupies a very small part of the whole shell. There are 9 holes in the edge of the shell, from which seawater flows in and out, and even abalone's breathing, excretion, and fertility depend on it. Therefore, it is also called "9 hole snail". The surface of the shell is rough, with black-brown patches, and the inner surface shows a pearl luster of blue, green, red, blue and other colors. Abalone, known as the "crown of seafood", has been one of the "Eight Treasures" of seafood since ancient times, and is the first of the four sea flavors: abalone, ginseng, wings and belly.
Two: Wings
Although it is a wing, it is not the wings of a bird, but the fins of a fish. One of the four sea flavors, the fin can be divided into dorsal fin, pectoral fin, fin and caudal fin according to the part where it grows. Shark fin soup is tender and smooth, soft and refreshing. Shark fin soup is a relatively valuable cooking raw material, but the nutritional value is not very high, because the protein contained in shark fin lacks an essential amino acid (tryptophan), is an incomplete protein, and also contains the possibility of being contaminated with mercury.
Three: Belly
The belly is the floating organ of the fish, which is dissected and dried. Generally, there are shark belly, salamander fish belly, etc., which is one of the four sea flavors, and is listed as one of the "eight treasures" in modern times. Produced in china's coastal areas, the "broad belly" of Guangdong is the best. Fujian's "hairy fish belly" is inferior to "broad belly", but it is also a good product. The quality identification of fish belly is relatively simple, in addition to mastering the characteristics of various fish belly, it is generally open and thick, and the color is bright for the top product; Zhang is small and thin, and the color is gray and dark as a defective product; Those who have blackened color have deteriorated and cannot be eaten. Fish maw is rich in nutrients, dry product contains 84.4% protein, contains 0.2% fat
Four: Reference
Ginseng is produced in the deep sea, and more than 60 species are produced along the coast of China, of which more than 20 kinds are edible. The color of sea cucumber is dark, the flesh is tender and soft, elastic, and can be divided into: "thorn ginseng", "light ginseng" and "bald ginseng". Sea cucumber is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol food, so the traditional custom to sea cucumber as a tonic food, medical also believes that high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, hepatitis and the elderly and other consumption of sea cucumber is better. Sea cucumber is rich in nutrients and rich in vitamins, so it has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and blood, and is a good tonic treasure.
