Dried pufferfish stewed with kidney beans
Overview
Puffer fish is a highly poisonous fish. Its internal organs contain a neurotoxin that can kill people. Early symptoms such as slight numbness of the mouth, lips, tongue, and fingers may appear 20 minutes after eating poisonous puffer fish, followed by vomiting, difficulty walking, difficulty speaking, etc., followed by a rapid drop in blood pressure, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, cessation of breathing, and heartbeat, and death. There is currently no effective treatment. However, puffer fish has delicate meat, very delicious taste, and very high nutritional value. Therefore, there is a folk proverb: Eat puffer fish to the death, shrouded in a heroic and tragic atmosphere. . In fact, dolphins are divided into dolphins and finless porpoises. Most of the finless porpoises are farmed and non-toxic species, and there is no problem in eating the internal organs together. Dolphins are generally wild in the sea and are highly poisonous. Once puffer fish are threatened, they will swallow water or air to expand their bodies into spiny balls, making it difficult for natural enemies to eat them. Puffer fish is a poisonous delicacy, so it has a special allure. Eating pufferfish requires courage, and it makes eating in a peaceful environment an adventure. Not every chef can cook pufferfish, and professional slaughtering qualifications are required. Dried pufferfish stewed with kidney beans is a very common dish in our seaside town. It can even be said to be a home-cooked dish for fishermen. Dried puffer fish is made by fishermen who slaughter and wash the fresh puffer fish caught in the sea directly on the boat, and then quickly sprinkle a large amount of sea salt to marinate the fish. The purpose of spreading salt is two-fold. First, the salt can draw out the blood and water in the fish, making it safer to eat; second, the dried fish is easy to preserve. After the fish is marinated, let it cool in the sun for one or two days, and then store it. When eating, cut the fish into pieces, soak it in water for a few hours, and then stew it with kidney beans. The taste is very delicious, and you can enjoy the expensive poisonous delicacy in big hotels at home.
