Fin, which is the filamentary cartilage in shark fins, is a seafood treasure processed from shark fins.
In terms of species, there are many types of shark fins! There are generally: Tianjiu, Haihu, Chunwen, Wuyang, Migu, Yacai, Shuashah, Xiaoqing, etc., and can be distinguished from the position of the shark fin: hooked wing, ridge wing wing, etc. Among them, hooked wings are the most expensive (they are on the fish tail)!! Because the fin needles with hooked wings are relatively thick, the whole is fin needles, and there is very little bone and meat! So the price is more expensive! The sky nine wings are the best among wings, and the big sky nine wings are even more difficult to find! The wings of Tianjiuyi are thick, soft and smooth, and have a good taste! The entire shark fin is a fin needle with no extra bone or skin.
In fact, shark fin does not have much flavor when cooked. The delicacy of shark fin soup mainly comes from its ingredients, not the shark fin itself. What is important is its soup base! The general family cooking method uses old chicken, ham, pork bones, etc., which are cooked differently, but the main purpose is to preserve its nutritional delicacy.
How to distinguish true and false shark fins? Don't buy shark fins with too perfect and white surfaces, because for commercial purposes, many businessmen will make their products beautiful, and this requires deep processing. That is to say, shark fins are treated with "hydrogen peroxide" and some colloidal chemicals, so that the shark fins can be whiter and heavier!! Therefore, when purchasing shark fins, it is better to choose shark fins with a more natural color!!
In addition, we should pay attention when eating shark fin in restaurants. Because there are many "artificial shark fins" nowadays, they still taste quite like real shark fins. Everyone will have to slowly accumulate experience to distinguish this!!
In fact, the cooked shark fin is like this: the shark fin is white before being soaked in hair, but when made into cooked food, it is crystal clear and translucent or nearly fully transparent. It is very full in shape and has a refreshing and springy taste. If you pinch it with your hands, you still have a kind of resilience. If shark fins are like vermicelli that will turn pink when you pinch them, it is very questionable. Everyone should pay attention to this!
Haha ~~~, in fact, good shark fins are not as expensive as everyone thinks! As long as you choose flat and upright goods, you can still enjoy the delicacy of shark fin!!!
