Sharks are cartilaginous fish, and their fins are shaped like vermicelli. From the point of view of modern nutrition, shark's fin (cartilage) does not contain any nutrients that human body is easy to lack or has high value, so eating shark's fin is a unique cultural phenomenon in China. Because China is located in a temperate zone with cold winters, frequent droughts and floods, and the inland areas are far away from the ocean, the food preservation technology is very developed, and the drying and water development technology is one of the most important methods. Dried shrimp, sea cucumber, abalone, shark's fin, bird's nest, squid, mushroom, magnolia slice, yellow flower and fungus are all examples of this method. There will be physical and chemical changes in the process of drying water. The texture and taste of food are sometimes better than fresh food, and some harmful substances can be removed. Among them, the processing and cooking technology of shark fin is very complicated and professional, which hardly allows amateurs to get their hands on it, which provides a reason for the high price of shark fin soup.
Abalone, which has nothing to do with fish, is related to river snails and the like. It looks like a human ear, so it is also called "sea ear". Only traces are left in the spiral part, which accounts for a very small part of the whole shell. There are nine holes in the edge of the shell, from which seawater flows in and out, and even abalone depends on it for breathing, excretion and fertility. So it is also called "9-hole snail". The surface of the shell is rough, with dark brown patches, and the inner surface presents the pearl luster of blue, green, red and blue. Fresh abalone is shelled and salted for a period of time, then cooked, viscera removed and dried in the sun. It is delicious and nutritious. "abalone, ginseng, wings and belly" are all precious seafood, and abalone ranks first among sea cucumber, shark's fin and fish belly. Abalone shell is a famous Chinese herbal medicine-concha Haliotidis, also called Senecio Senecio in ancient books, which has the effect of improving eyesight, hence its name. Concha Haliotidis also has the effects of clearing away heat, calming the liver and calming the wind, and can be used to treat hand and foot spasms and convulsions caused by dizziness and fever. There are about 91 species of abalone in the world, and their footprints are all over the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. The abalone produced in Bohai Bay of China is called Haliotis discus hannai, which is relatively large. The abalone produced in the southeast coast is called Haliotis diversicolor, and the individual is small; Haliotis diversicolor and Haliotis diversicolor produced in Xisha Islands are famous edible abalone. Because the natural output is very small, it is expensive. Nowadays, all the countries producing abalone in the world are developing artificial breeding. In the 1971s, China cultivated variegated abalone seedlings, and artificial breeding was successful.
abalone, known as the "crown of seafood", has been one of the "eight treasures" of seafood since ancient times.
The single-walled shell of abalone is hard, right-handed, and its surface is dark green-brown. The purple, green, white and other colors on the inside of the shell complement each other and are jewel-like. On the back side of the shell, there is a row of protrusions used to penetrate into holes. The soft part has a large flat meat foot. The soft part is flat and oval, yellow and white, which is as big as a tea bowl and as small as copper coins. Abalone is adsorbed on rocks by this thick foot and flat plantar surface, crawling in reef sheds and caves. The adhesion of abalone meat feet is quite amazing. An abalone with a shell length of 1.5 cm has a foot suction of up to 211 kg. No matter how violent the wind and waves hit, it can't be lifted. When catching abalone, you can only take advantage of it unprepared and shovel it down or turn it over with lightning speed, otherwise you will never take it down even if you smash its shell.
Abalone likes to live in the rocky sea area with clear sea water, fast-flowing water and algae, and feeds on algae and plankton for a living. In 1981s, artificial abalone breeding in Liaoning Province was successful, and progress was made in artificial raft culture.
Abalone is one of the rare sea treasures, and its meat is tender, fresh and not greasy. Rich in nutrition, clear and rich in flavor, cooking and mixing soup are delicious. The famous dish of Beijing Beihai Fangshan Restaurant "Abalone with Clam Membrane" is a famous dish at home and abroad.
