Chapter 595 - 259: The Giant Dogfish
"Isn’t that wrong, host? Aren’t all salmon deep-sea fish? This is clearly freshwater, right?"
Lin Yang saw the doubtful comment and chuckled, "Silver Trout and Chinook salmon are actually ocean fish, it’s just that their life and reproduction habits are different from other deep-sea fish."
"Every year during the breeding season, these salmonid species migrate from the ocean into freshwater to spawn. After the hatchlings emerge, they return to the ocean to live. After two to four years, once matured, they come back to freshwater to spawn again. Born in the sea, die in the river, and so the cycle repeats."
"Now, at the end of summer, we might be lucky enough to see the summer run of Chinook salmon, but our current location is quite far from the mouth of the river. If we want to see this phenomenon, we need to go further upstream. Maybe we’ll head up there over the next few days."
After this bit of education, the live stream audience was fascinated by the remarkable migratory habits.
"Alright, stop daydreaming, we’ve got our lunch for today. But one fish isn’t enough for three people. I’ll try to catch a few more, and at lunch, Uncle Victor can make us some Silver Trout sashimi."
After giving the heads-up, Uncle Victor simply rinsed the Silver Trout meat in an aluminum basin.
He then changed the water and repeated the egg rinsing process, after which he took out a sieve with a small mesh and rubbed the roe against it, efficiently separating each individual egg.
This traditional method of processing Silver Trout eggs by locals is not something you can see in restaurants. Everyone watched intently, even starting to discuss the taste of the eggs.
