I was robbed before I landed!, Thousands of catties of unrivalled seafood assassins were brought up from the seaside of Qingdao | sea of the sea | sea spurs | a bit | mudflat | Qingdao

Clams

The most familiar seafood among Qingdao people

Almost every day

All of them need to be mixed with the stir fried ones

Meet me earlier

But

Neighbors of Clams

Have you guys tried it before

Let me give you a grand introduction

Sea thorn

The Sea of the Sea

Assassin's Sting

Growing on the same mudflat with clams

One upstairs, one downstairs

↓

I secretly observed for two years

You guys have finally grown up

Mr. Zhang from Fengcheng, Jimo

Near the T-shaped Bay

Contracted a piece of mudflat to raise clams

annually

He will go to the mudflat to check

Not caring about clams

But it's for... the sea thorn next to it

Two years ago

Just keep an eye on this batch of sea thorns

Finally, when they successfully grow up, "

First, let's popularize the science

What is a sea thorn

After all, it doesn't belong to the popular seafood category

↓

Many people find the Spurs unfamiliar. The reporter carefully observed for half a day, and found a shell at the bottom and a long body on top, about 20 centimeters.

Farmers say that some sea thorns in the Northeast region can weigh over a pound each. The area in Qingdao is relatively small, weighing only one kilogram for one to twenty. From the appearance, it looks very similar to a scaled down version of the elephant clam.

Introduction by shellfish expert Sun Xiujun from the Yellow Sea Fisheries Research Institute——

Sea thorns belong to the family of sea thorns in the order scallops, and are often found along the coasts of the South China Sea and the Mediterranean. They are relatively small in size. And the elephant clam belongs to a type of bivalve shellfish, with a relatively large body size.

At present, there is relatively little research on sea thorns in the academic community.

Mr. Zhang said

Their sea thorns here

They are all wild

No one specializes in scattering seedlings for breeding

The main reason is that

It doesn't look like clams, scallops, or sea cucumbers

The market size is so large

In the past seven or eight years

I rarely see larger sea thorns

Specific growth patterns

The farmers have not figured it out either

Sometimes there are many in this area

Sometimes it appears in another area

But as far as the Qingdao region is concerned

Near Dingzi Bay

It can be considered a place with more sea thorns

Every July and August

Sea thorns enter the spawning period

There will be a large number of young seedlings born

however

It usually takes two to three years to grow

Only then will I grow up

It also tastes fresh and tender

In recent years

Every year, young seedlings are born

But after a while, he will die

Very few have grown up

Even if there are some

The yield is not high either

Mr. Zhang said

In the past two years

They were pleasantly surprised to find that

Many seedlings have grown up

It should be related to water quality

There is also a relationship with underwater microorganisms

therefore

Starting from May this year

And it has truly entered the harvest period

Take the high-pressure water gun

Mengzi scooped out over 150 pounds at once

Sea thorn and clam

Growing on the same mudflat

Usually after harvesting clams

Go fishing for sea thorns again

Master Yu, who is responsible for sailing, said

They usually depart at 6 o'clock in the morning

Starting work at 6:30 am

Work until 1 or 2 pm to finish

The weather is hot now

Although Mengzi is not afraid in the water

But the sea thorns that were caught

But it's easy to get sunburned

Therefore, it is generally chosen to work in the morning

Sea thorns rooted in the seabed

How did it get ashore?

At 6am on June 4th

Peninsula All Media Reporter

Follow the four "fierce sons"

Explore the waters of Dingzi Bay

Sea thorns live under the mud of the seabed

At a depth of approximately 40 centimeters

In general

Growing beneath clams

Both of them are

Eating marine microorganisms to grow up

Not having a significant impact on each other

Due to

They grow in relatively deep sea areas

Even if the tide recedes

There is also seawater four or five meters deep

We can only hire fierce men to catch fish

There are four fierce warriors on a ship

With fierce warriors fishing for sea cucumbers and red shellfish

Slightly different

Each of them

They all carry a high-pressure water gun

immerse

They work at once

An hour and a half to two hours

however

How do we know the time at the bottom of the sea?

Master Yu said

They don't have any watches at all

Even with a watch on

The seawater below is very turbid

I can't see anything

"It depends on the fishing weight to determine"

For the convenience of homework

Mengzi hung the net bag around his neck

Holding a high-pressure water gun in one hand

Make a strong impact towards the seabed

After the sea thorn was washed up

Mengzi's other hand

Quickly grab them

Put it in the net pocket in front of the neck

Experienced Mengzi

One and a half hours can catch over 150 pounds

This weight

It can reach over 500 pounds in water

Fortunately

There is buoyancy in the water

They can still pull it

After feeling this weight

Mengzi already knows the approximate time

The profession of Gan Mengzi

It's also quite difficult

After the high-pressure water gun washes up the sea mud

Wearing diving goggles, you can't see

It all depends on blind grasping

Master Yu said

After the water is clear

They can only rely on the searchlight

Just a little bit of something to see

Not only that, but also

It's difficult to distinguish east, west, north, south underwater

Mainly based on the direction of seawater flow

Working against the direction of the ocean current

Sell it for 10 yuan per kilogram before it goes ashore

Mr. Zhang, a farmer, said

Sea thorns can only be artificially caught

The yield is not as large as scallops and clams

Many people don't know each other either

Plus

Mengzi

You can't just go into the sea

Strong winds and heavy rain

Not suitable for high tide or high tide

In general

All customers place orders in advance

Daily fishing volume

Mainly based on the number of orders

Currently, we can catch two to three thousand pounds a day

A few years ago

The sea thorns are almost extinct

As soon as I heard about it this year

Many old customers are rushing to make purchases

Mr. Zhang said

The current market price of sea thorns

About 10 yuan per kilogram

Although it doesn't look cheap

But don't forget

Mengzi fishing costs 2.5 yuan per kilogram

Speaking of which

Many foodies are probably in a hurry

Hurry up

Here's the recipe

Introduction of Mr. Zhang, a farmer——

There are many edible parts of sea thorns, and there may be sediment in the shells. Just clean them thoroughly.

The appearance of sea thorns looks a bit dark. Freeze them in the refrigerator or scald them in hot water at 40-50 degrees Celsius. After removing the skin, white meat will be exposed and used to stir fry eggs. It's really amazing.

Do you know the sea thorns before?

Have you eaten it yet?
