How to make raw fish like mussels.

Introduction: Mussel sashimi is a kind of Cantonese seafood sashimi, which has the same name as lobster sashimi. Ivory mussel meat is smooth and tender, and it is crisp and tender when bitten in the mouth. As a kind of deep-sea seafood, mussels can be cooked with porridge and fried with other ingredients besides sashimi. But personally, if it is very fresh like mussels, it is better to eat sashimi. The tail of mussels can be used to stir-fry or cook porridge. If it's just a dead clam, it's good to fry it all over. It's extremely delicious. The following is the method of mussel sashimi that I carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to!

raw material

An elephant mussel, Japanese mustard, Japanese Nazi soy sauce or soy sauce, ice cubes, lemon, medical alcohol.

The way of doing things

In Cantonese cuisine, comparatively speaking, it can be said that the more precious the ingredients, the easier it is to make. But there is a premise that you need to master profound cooking skills.

Like mussels, it can be said to be precious and simple to make. However, this simplicity is also a bit complicated. It doesn't matter. If you like mussels as much as I do, and think the restaurants and hotels outside are too expensive, you can make this mussel sashimi at home. Follow me step by step, I believe you can do it.

1. Before making sashimi, we should prepare the ice cubes and take the ice box in our refrigerator to freeze the ice cubes. There is a little too much ice. If there are few ice boxes at home, you can freeze them several times a few days in advance. Then you need medical alcohol, a sharp knife and a chopping block.

2. Primary processing of mussels bought in seafood market (detailed mussel processing methods are linked at the end of the article). Pour a proper amount of medical alcohol on the chopping block, light it with a lighter and burn it with a knife.

The purpose is disinfection. After all, it is cooking raw food, so we must pay attention to food hygiene. Turn off the fire, scrape the chopping block slightly with a knife, and then clean it with water.

3. Put the preliminarily processed and cleaned ivory mussel on the chopping block, and cut the ivory mussel's body along its tail with a knife. Be careful not to cut it off, so that the cylinder is open, which means that the body like a clam is flat.

4. If there is still some fine sand in the opened mussel shell, wash it with clear water and set it aside. At this time, prepare the plate with the sashimi of ivory mussels and decorate the edge of the plate with some decorative materials, such as fresh orange slices. Then put the prepared ice cubes into a fresh-keeping bag, smooth it, wrap the fresh-keeping bag with a slightly thick dry towel, put both ends of the towel on the display board by hand, and beat the towel with a thick knife. We need ice. Of course, everything would be much easier if we had an ice maker at home.

5. Spread the broken ice cubes directly on the plate to form a slope, then prepare some ice cubes and put them in a big bowl.

6. Next, sashimi will begin. Put the elephant mussel on the chopping block. We will start with the small head of mussels. The thinner the slice, the better. You can use a "single flyer" or a "double flyer".

The next slice can be put directly into the ice tray. During this period, you can put the cut mussels in an ice bowl and grab them with crushed ice, which will make mussels more crisp and tender, and at the same time remove a little fishy smell from mussel meat.

7. After slicing the mussel body in turn, you will find that when you slice the mussel tail, it will feel different from when you slice the mussel body under the knife. Well, yes, the meat fiber at the tail of mussels is thicker, so this part should be cut thicker. This part of the meat will not be eaten raw if it is used to cook porridge in a group of cases, but it does not mean that this part of the club meat cannot be eaten raw.

8. Pull all the mussels out and put them on the plate, and you will have a special sense of accomplishment, especially when the bright mussels are laid on the ice. That's so cool. Then what are you waiting for? Open it.

9. By the way, don't forget to mix small ingredients with mustard and Japanese cross soy sauce or soy sauce.

skill

To buy mussels, it is recommended to go to a large seafood market, and Dong Jiao wholesale market and Shen Jing seafood market are recommended. If there is no Japanese word soy sauce, choose soy sauce and recommend Haitian soy sauce king.

Fresh mussels will be slightly curled after slicing, but if they are dead, they will not feel curled at all. This is also a little trick to distinguish each other when we go out to eat mussels.
