Sandworm sashimi means eating sandworms raw, of course.

Perhaps many people are a little averse to eating raw or cold fish, sashimi, etc., but there are also many people who cannot resist its natural umami taste.

The living sandworm is still squirming on the plate. I pick it up and cut off the head and tail, take out the internal organs and sand, wash it several times with water to make sure there is no grit, and then put it on an ice tray.

The method is simple and straightforward, and there is no skill at all, but the sauce is more particular, but some people use mustard directly.

Beihai people like to use red vinegar, sugar and garlic as a general sauce. Of course, some restaurants prepare their own sauces that are more delicious.

In fact, what you eat in this dish is the taste of its raw materials.

A gourmet meal is a process from the initial selection of ingredients to the final arrangement of dishes.

Every process tests a chef's love and ingenuity.

When cooking a plate of seasonal vegetables, you need to select dishes that suit the season, add water, control the heat, and control the salt and oil. Only then can you get the crispness and sweetness of this season when you cook it.

Good raw materials not only pay attention to the place of production, but also pay attention to the season and climate.

Beihai is a coastal city in the southwest of Guangxi. It is one of the cities on the Maritime Silk Road.

People here uniquely enjoy the natural and rich delicacies provided by the Beibu Gulf.

Fresh and sweet are the words for delicious food here, so the locals mainly eat light food and don't like heavy flavors.

Everyone prefers light cooking and prefers the original flavor of the dishes, such as steamed, boiled, and raw fish.

Even if you are making a hot pot, you still need a pot of water, add some salt and oil, wait for the water to boil, and then put the main ingredients into the pot.

Boil it for three to five minutes, dip it in seasonings and eat it. The original taste of the ingredients will flow in your mouth. Amei is an aborigine of Beihai - the Dan family. She followed her mother to dig sandworms in the sea since she was a child.

When she got up early in the morning, her mother went to the beach to dig for sandworms with a hoe and a basket.

The hoe must be a pointed one, and the bamboo basket must have no gaps. Otherwise, the sandworms will run back to the sea through the gaps in the basket, and all efforts will be in vain.

However, it is not that easy to dig out sandworms. The small sandworms are like earthworms in sea sand. They are extremely flexible in the sand and can instantly burrow back into the sand without leaving a trace.

So Amei followed her mother to practice the magical skill of catching sandworms, and she has quick eyesight and quick hands. What are sandworms?

Maybe many people don't understand.

I searched on Baidu and discovered that it also has the scientific name of "checkered star worm". It is about two inches long, shaped like a reed bud, has a crystal clear appearance, and its body is filled with sea sand. It is a high-protein insect.

tonic.

There is a reason why sandworms choose to grow in the North Sea, because the North Sea has white sand, warm water, and no winter and autumn seasons.

Sandworms gradually became famous in Beihai City.

The effect of aphrodisiac is also well-known, and the price of dried sandworms has remained high for this reason, with the unit price ranging from 700 to 1,000 yuan per catty.

Recently, Amei has been complaining in her circle of friends.

Foreign tourists will destroy the ecological environment of the North Sea. In a few years, the sandworms in the North Sea will be extinct.

There are no more sandworms to eat.

Asked in detail, it turned out to be so.

Foreigners are more pragmatic and like to use advanced technology. A high-pressure water gun will pull up the sandworms from the sea sand and take away all the seedlings and adults.

Large adult worms are sold to hotels and food stalls.

Small strips of larvae are dried and marketed as workhorses.

You can get thirty or forty kilograms a day. After all, the unit price of sandworms is high. Live sandworms can also be sold for forty or fifty yuan a kilogram, and the cost is equally cost-effective.

But even the seedlings of sandworms are not spared, so the sea will lack another species in the future.

This delicacy called checkered starworm will disappear from human dining tables.

When there are only humans left on the earth, should we eat humans?

The human mouth is the most powerful machine that accelerates the demise of the species.

Human greed is also the most powerful machine that accelerates the demise of species.

Such violence ultimately harms the descendants of mankind.

There are thousands of ways to make sandworms. If you want to know, please let me know. I am a foodie who comes to the North Sea for nothing.
