Oh no! I've been kept as a pet by a stray killer whale!
Chapter 20: Tuna Belly, Does It Need Fire?
"well……"
He wiped the water off his face and waved weakly at the sea.
"Okay, you guys are good."
"You're the bosses, you're the ones who call the shots."
Jiang Che resigned himself to his fate.
On this island, as long as this "fire brigade" is still around, he'll probably never be able to start a fire in his lifetime. At least during the day, any smoke will attract a merciless "water cannon attack".
Since we can't resist it, we can only adapt to it.
Jiang Che turned around and looked at the unfortunate yellowfin tuna.
That water attack just now not only extinguished the fire, but also washed the cut piece of fish into the sand. It's definitely inedible now.
Fortunately, the fish was big enough.
"Since God won't let me eat cooked food, then I'll eat raw food!"
Jiang Che gritted his teeth, his eyes revealing a ruthless determination to give up.
"It's just sashimi, right? It costs thousands of dollars a pound, and most people can't even get their hands on it! I'm going to eat it like it's my main meal today! I'll eat it until I throw up!"
He dragged the heavy tuna to a clean rocky slab, a little distance from the sea but still within the killer whale's line of sight.
This shady spot, with its cool stone slabs, serves as a natural cooking station.
Although there was no fresh water to wash them, the wave of seawater just now did wash the sand off the fish.
Jiang Che pulled the Swiss Army knife from his waist.
Although the blade was short, it still gleamed coldly in the sunlight.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
Jiang Che faced the drone's camera and composed himself. Although his heart was still bleeding, as a professional broadcaster, he knew what he needed to do.
"Since the fire-making plan has failed, I have no choice but to bow to reality in order to avoid starving to death."
"Next, please enjoy—a top-notch Japanese meal on a deserted island, all-natural, pollution-free, and additive-free."
After saying that, he pressed down on the tuna's back.
This fish is so fresh.
Even after being dead for more than ten minutes, the muscles still maintain extremely high activity and elasticity.
When the knife tip slices through the fish skin, you can even feel the tight resistance.
Swah——
Jiang Che skillfully made a cut along the dorsal fin.
This time, he didn't cut off his bare back, but instead focused his gaze on his abdomen.
That's the most prized, expensive, and fatty part of the tuna—the belly.
Without carbohydrate intake, only high-fat foods can provide the body with enough energy to combat hypothermia and hunger.
As the blade penetrated deeper, the fish's belly was slowly cut open.
A dazzling pink hue is exposed to the air.
That's not the color of ordinary fish meat.
It was a pinkish-white marbling, like top-grade Wagyu beef, covered with white, marbled patterns. The fat was like a fine net, evenly distributed between every muscle fiber. Under the sunlight, the entire piece of fish seemed to glow, exuding an almost bewitching allure.
The live stream footage was rendered in 8K by the Sky Eye drone, revealing every detail with crystal clarity.
Viewers can even see the subtle sheen of the oil particles seeping through the cut surface.
Holy crap... this texture...
[Is this supposed to be a fish?! This is practically a work of art!]
[This must be a large belly, right? It's definitely a large belly! This snowflake pattern is only found on the bellies of the highest-grade blue-finned or yellow-finned ...
[I'm swallowing. Why does the steamed bun in my hand suddenly feel a bit dry in my throat?]
Jiang Che did not speak.
He focused on his work, carefully removing the fascia from the fish's belly, and then, like a surgeon, completely removed the two-pound "snake belly" section.
Placed on a black rock slab, the contrast between red and black creates a strong visual impact.
Next, we sliced the slices.
Jiang Che didn't have a professional yanagi-blade, only a small folding knife, but that didn't hinder his performance.
He used a thick-cut method. Each cut felt like slicing into a piece of softened butter at room temperature. That smooth feel offered a slight comfort to Jiang Che's wounded heart.
Soon, a row of evenly thick, pink and white tuna sashimi was laid out on the rocky slab.
A faint, deep-sea oily aroma filled the air.
"call……"
Jiang Che took a deep breath.
He was starving, and starting the fire had exhausted him. Now every cell in his body was screaming for energy.
He reached out and pinched the fattest piece in the middle.
The piece of fish trembled slightly at his fingertips, the oil instantly melting from the warmth of his fingers, leaving a glistening sheen on his fingertips.
There was no dipping sauce.
There was no soy sauce, no wasabi, and not even a drop of lemon juice.
This is the most primitive, the most savage, and the purest way of eating.
Jiang Che opened his mouth and put the piece of fish into it.
To shut up.
chew.
In that instant, Jiang Che's eyes widened suddenly.
Blasted.
If the taste buds are a barren wasteland, then this piece of tuna belly is a torrential downpour rich in oil.
The moment your teeth gently bite into the fish, the abundant oil trapped within the muscle fibers explodes in your mouth like a small bomb.
There's absolutely no need to chew.
The fish meat seemed to come alive, melting rapidly at the temperature on the tip of the tongue, turning into a rich, sweet, milky liquid that slid down the throat.
There wasn't a trace of fishy smell.
All that's left is the freshness of the sea and the soul-satisfying feeling that comes from the fat.
"Ugh!!"
Jiang Che couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
So delicious.
It smells so good!
Although it lacks the umami flavor of soy sauce and the palate cleansing effect of wasabi, in the face of extreme hunger, the sheer impact of this pure fat is more intense than any seasoning.
Jiang Che's originally pale face quickly regained a rosy hue due to the high-calorie intake.
He faced the camera, eating as he mumbled something indistinctly:
"Brothers, I take back what I just said."
"Start a fire? What kind of fire?"
"Roasting this kind of food is such a waste! It's disrespectful to nature!"
"It's so smooth, I'm tired of saying 'it melts in your mouth,' but it really really melts! It's like eating a high-end ice cream with a taste of the ocean!"
As he spoke, he picked up another piece and deliberately waved it in front of the camera.
The fish fillet had a translucent appearance under the sunlight, with oil dripping from it.
At this moment.
It was lunchtime in China.
Countless viewers who were watching their meals on their phones saw the tempting scene on the screen, then looked at the food in their bowls, and their mentality completely collapsed.
[Damn! My braised beef noodles suddenly don't taste good anymore!]
[Hey streamer, have some decency! I'm still working overtime and eating bread!]
[This is infuriating! I was just feeling sorry for the streamer not getting any popularity, now I just want to jump into the screen and steal some!]
Do you know how much this bite costs at a Japanese restaurant? This one bite for the streamer is half a month's living expenses for me!
Stop smacking your lips! Please stop smacking your lips! The sound of that sizzling grease is making my mouth water!
This isn't desert island survival; it's a desert island vacation! Not only do they have orcas as bodyguards, but they're also eating specially supplied sashimi! I want to go too!
I want to be picked up by an orca too! I'm not afraid of being sprayed with water! Just let me have a bite of that big belly!
