"Does anyone know where the most prized part of this bluefin tuna is?"
As Li Sheng skillfully dissected the tuna, he asked a question.
The viewers in the live stream were eagerly waiting.
"Essence? Isn't this all essence?"
"This tuna is so big, how can it not be delicious? It's delicious everywhere, every part is the essence."
"Let me tell you a secret: the essence of this giant tuna isn't in the fish meat."
...
Mr. Li glanced at the viewer's comment and agreed: "This friend is right. The essence of this bluefin tuna is not in the fish meat, but in the bone marrow, which is best used for sashimi."
Everyone has eaten fish sashimi at Japanese restaurants, but most people have never heard of fish marrow. Mr. Li processed all the fish meat, cut it into long strips, and waited to tie it up and smoke it. At this point, only the bones of the tuna remained. The bones of this big fish are really something else.
A spinal cord, about the size of Li Sheng's wrist, was divided into segments. Li Sheng took an axe and started dissecting it from the very end, segment by segment. Once opened, he could see that there was a transparent, jelly-like substance in the middle of the bone marrow.
He picked it up and showed it to the audience: "This is fish marrow, the essence I'm talking about. It's full of fish bone oil."
Li Sheng picked one up and put it in his mouth. He wasn't used to eating it raw; it had a slightly fishy taste. But overall, it was still delicious. The texture was cool and smooth, similar to jelly, but it also had the unique sweetness of tuna. He felt it could be improved further.
I squeezed a little juice from a wild lemon onto it, and then took a pinch of the red caviar that had been soaking in water the previous meal and put it on top. This time, the taste was much richer.
The fishy smell has faded, and the taste is still cool and smooth, but with a refreshing lemon flavor. When you bite into it, the caviar bursts in your mouth. If you savor it carefully, you can also taste a faint berry flavor. It's very crisp and refreshing.
It's making everyone's mouths water.
"This would cost over a thousand yuan in a Japanese restaurant, and the bone marrow from such a fish could sell for tens of thousands of yuan."
"I actually ate at a Japanese restaurant once. Guess how much it cost me? It cost me 1,200 yuan, just two bites."
"Extravagant, really extravagant, but the grass carp at home also has bone marrow, you can suck out the flavor, as if everyone has never eaten it before."
"This tuna would be a huge hit in Japanese restaurants."
...
However, the things in Japanese restaurants are nothing special to Li Sheng, since he lives by the sea and has an inexhaustible supply of seafood.
Li Sheng placed the fish marrow on the table he had made. The table was very simple, just a few rough wooden planks pieced together with an axe, plus four legs, but it was surprisingly sturdy.
It should be both large and sturdy.
The spinal cord alone filled half the table. One half was sprinkled with fish roe and squeezed with lemon juice, while the other half was sprinkled with mulberry jam and some oyster sauce flavoring.
He still has a small jar of the mulberry jam he made before, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed. There are no signs of spoilage yet, but it's been half a month, so it's best to eat it as soon as possible.
After processing the fish marrow, Li Sheng cut half a pound of tuna slices to eat directly, with jam in the middle. One bite was delicious and chewy, and the sweet and sour taste of the jam blended perfectly with the tuna meat.
The rest were strung up and hung on the grill by Li Sheng, Nai Tuan, and Da Meizi, and are now being smoked. Meanwhile, the shark fin and fish maw in the pot have been stewed.
Mr. Li opened the lid, put in a little salt and squeezed in a little lemon. The gelatinous substance was incredibly thick and would definitely be good for beauty and skin.
Meanwhile, Naituan and the big girl were already sitting on the table showing off the tuna marrow, eating it one bite at a time, which looked so satisfying.
Many people exclaimed that this meal could bankrupt them.
Li Sheng and Li Tuantuan haven't gone hungry since they arrived on the island. They've been worried about what to do when the challenge ends and they can't get used to the drastically reduced quality of food after they leave.
After eating and drinking his fill, the meat was smoking on the rack. Now he no longer worried about wild animals coming in to steal his home, since there were several-meter-high walls all around, preventing wild animals from getting in.
They weren't afraid of wild beasts jumping over the wall and climbing in, because Li Sheng had covered the wall with durian shells. If they tried to force their way in, they would probably suffer a lot.
Li Sheng closed the wooden gate to the courtyard, which also had two bolts on the inside, so that he wouldn't be afraid of any impact from the outside.
While others are still worrying about food and survival, Li Sheng has already moved into a detached villa. It seems that the champion of this competition will be decided before the very end.
After the shark battle, Li Sheng was exhausted. After mending the fishing net, he went inside to sleep. In the morning, Li Sheng was awakened by a series of noises, including his sister's shouts.
Countless comments were urging Li Sheng to get up.
"Wild King, wake up! The Monkey King is here to raid our base!"
"Get up or these stinky monkeys will steal all your tuna!"
"This time, little sister has really gotten herself into big trouble. Why did she have to go and steal Monkey King's bananas? Now she's getting her comeuppance."
"This is troublesome. Do you remember what happened to Yu Qiang and Yu Tian? Although they are not from the same group of monkeys, they are the same breed. Nine of the monkeys in this breed are mischievous monkeys, and one is a super mischievous monkey."
"What the hell is going on?" Li Sheng immediately perked up and opened a crack in the door to peek outside. The young woman was desperately trying to protect the bananas she had picked from somewhere while shooing away the monkeys to prevent them from stealing her tuna.
These audience members are quite adept at tattletales.
The young woman opened the gate and went out as soon as she got up this morning, and the drone followed her out. After all, the young woman is currently very popular, and the people inside the house are still asleep, so the drone was used to film the gorilla.
The young woman walked for over forty minutes with practiced ease to reach the monkeys' territory. She snatched a bunch of bananas from them and threatened the monkeys. The lone monkey didn't rush over, but it followed the young woman all the way to Li Sheng's shelter and even came inside. It then stole two pieces of tuna from the shelf and ran away.
Li Sheng thought it was over, but before long, his shelter was surrounded by monkeys who came to steal tuna meat. The monkeys had already stolen a third of the tuna meat.
Not only did they steal fish, but these monkeys also had an extremely strong desire for revenge. They picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the young woman, who cried out in distress.
Li Sheng was too tired yesterday and didn't get up that early. In addition, the shelter was really annoying, so he let these monkeys bully the young lady for quite a while.
This young woman, with her enormous size, acted recklessly; now she's getting her comeuppance.
However, most people still felt extremely sorry for the girl who was being hit so badly while trying to protect her bananas and tuna.
