Tell customers a giant river fish are on the menu, they will want to see how it looks right. Fortunately, let the chef from marine fishes introduce little-known phenomenon, the majority of them have cell phones.
"Many people took out his phone and immediately investigate Google. It also looks very beautiful fish anymore, "Andrew Adams, chef of the restaurant Acre in Memphis, Tenn., Said.
The two statues, à freshwater fish is native to the Amazon Basin. It has a face that looks like a bird over the fish, and it was a big fish. According to FAO, it may be up to 9 feet and weigh 450 pounds.
But real monsters in history both as human subjects, once mining depletion of natural fish population. Currently a sustainable fish farming initiatives are trying to restore it in nature and introduce it to consumers throughout the world.
"I do not want to use a seed tick slogan, but it is considered the king of fish Amazon region, "Adrian Burstein ArtisanFish firm in Aventura, Flo., said. The company currently markets and fish wholesalers to the retailers and business people serving American food.
The size of this fish is not the only thing that makes it special; it still breathing air. Because low oxygen levels of the delta estuary formed by flood water, marine fish statue developed a large swim bladders complement bearing. Both subjects have to breathe air emerges every 10 to 20 minutes and while it above the water, it also can shoot a bird on the waterfront. But near the surface to make it closer to the hunters. It was listed as a threatened species in CITES II index in 1975.
The ability to breathe its atmosphere also makes it attractive to farmers because they can feed it in the waters have low oxygen levels . According to the FAO, both particularly suitable object to feed than live fish in fresh waters of South America. It has the fastest growth rate of cultured fish in the Amazon region, it fed the bolus although it is carnivorous, and no bone in the meat.
Initiative marine fish culture phenomenon, appearing in Peru and the project is called Amazon, started nearly six years ago. Burstein said the project began with a thorough study focused on the development of food and select the best sub-species of quality meat.
"We also drop the object both of us down the Amazon River to can help increase their numbers, "Burstein added. "Hopefully in the next few decades we have success stories."
farmed marine fish, are fed pellets made from soy flour and a small amount of fish, need 18 months to develop operators to size is 22 pounds. We also fed a low density in the pond.
"I'd say it's like a natural ecosystem," Burstein said. "The water is filtered by the farm in natural substances. It is an area like a small marsh and water flowing through the woods in the area of water purification. "
farms produce 100,000 pounds a year. Burstein says the US is the largest market. Exports also moved to France and have a potential market in the UK, Spain and Chile.
A challenge in introducing this species is the permanent import approval for its CITES status, though it fed. Both subjects will soon be available in Canada, where it is approved import only months ago, "Burstein said.
Ca-two-tuong-chienKe since been entered into the United States two and a half years ago, both only objects sold at the restaurant. Wholesale prices start around 16 to 18 dollars a pound for the chef, but had dropped to $ 12 a pound because of the increase in production.
On the retail side, Burstein was negotiating with major supermarket chains and hy Hope it is on the front row this year.
"I think it would be a good fish for retailers because we believe that both are individual objects guard them against counterfeiting," he said. Both subjects have higher levels of collagen, which means it can make but also succulent meat. "Many people are really afraid of fish processing at home - it is very susceptible to fire, it sticks in the pan. That does not happen for both subjects. "
The recognition of names is also another challenge of both objects.
"It's a big challenge and try to introduce the fish go to the extent it really shows you this sector has become the driving force of change, "says Burstein. "These distributors do not do this. They want the chef to order, so we must do the work with the chef. "
He noticed both subjects have been some basis initially after some chefs like them.
"Both Best effectively object when you have actually leading chefs - chefs format into the dining room and chat with the guests, "he said.
Cain said two-tuong-nuongAdam Acre restaurant he operated with celebrity chef south, Wally Joe, started to introduce marine fish statue in July last year.
"We ask people provide our fish have yet delicious fish and he said no object both medium available on the market and 100% are raised, "he said.
Initially Adam unknown marine fish have bony structure strange object and cut it in the wrong way. The first time that he decided to file it with little fried with olive oil and salt and see what happens.
"The first thing I noticed, did not like the fish I saw earlier, it creates a brittle layer in a natural façade - almost like fried pig skin, almost like tempura. This brittle layer wrapped pieces of fish, adding structure for its great meat, "he said.
This consistency makes fish can be cooked in many different ways, including bake, fry Profile, fried, stewed or roasted hole. It also varied to make many more dishes.
"It can fit for snacks, like salad, but (with heavier taste) it does not drown the taste because it's fleshy and rich in nutrients, "he said.
He gave it to the menu to upper primary fried fish stew Columbia (sonchoco) are cooked with a little yucca and banana leaf and add the coconut milk, eat some beans and chanterelle with price 29 dollars.
He also served this fish on dish-style green papaya Vietnam for $ 28 bucks. First it was soaked in saline solution for several hours, sous vide for 30 minutes and then baked to give it a little flavor of smoke.
It's very popular by the guests of the restaurant Acre, who tend to prefer adventure aspect.
"It's hard to sell something strange and new dishes," Adams said. "We have many customers who are interested in any item put on the table what we eat. What we need to do is explain it like fish sea bass and black cod Chilean how, and people can relate it to these species. They listened to us, and they like it. "
