Chapter 397: Family cuisine—Fierce icy sea bream!

Seeing that Seiya knocked out the huge sea bream weighing over a hundred pounds with just one sword, not to mention Erina and Soma Yukihira, even Nakiri Senzaemon who was standing beside him was surprised.

Everyone present was a chef and understood the resistance one would encounter when slaughtering a live fish and handling a struggling fish.

All living things have the instinct to survive, and fish are no exception. When fish are about to be slaughtered and faced with a life-and-death situation, they will naturally struggle hard.

However, if it is a fish weighing several kilograms, it is not a big deal. But if it is a big snapper, you can imagine how hard it struggles.

Just like the sea bream in front of Seiya, its struggling power could easily blow away three or two Erinas and Minezakis, but now Seiya only needed one sword to stop it from struggling completely...

The knife that was just slapped down seemed quite ordinary, but even a fool could see that the force must have been quite amazing!
The Seven Star Knives correspond to the positions of the seven stars in the Big Dipper and are named after the seven stars. They are Pojun Knife, Lianzhen Knife, Lucun Knife, Wenqu Knife, Jumen Knife, Wuqu Knife and Tanlang Knife.

The sword that Seiya used to knock out the sea bream just now was the largest of the Seven Star Swords, the Giant Gate Sword.

After knocking Tai Yu unconscious with one blow, Seiya quickly pulled out the two swords, Wenqu and Wuqu, from the cloth at the same time.

The Wenqu Knife was like a fruit knife that could cut through the throat with one blow. A cold light flashed at the throat of the sea bream, and the bleeding was completed instantly.

Then, the Butsuki sword, like a sharp cone, directly separated the useless fins and tail of the sea bream at a speed that was beyond the reach of Erina and others' naked eyes.

After separating the fish fins and tail and draining the blood, Shengya inserted the Wenqu and Wuqu knives on the chopping board in front of him, and then pulled out the "Tanlang Knife" from the cloth.

"Pojun Xunleiqi——!"

The cold kitchen knife was swung quickly in Seiya's hand, and the sea bream in front of him was instantly covered with brilliant knife light. But when Erina, Soma Yukihira and others reacted again, Seiya had stopped and was wiping the kitchen knife with a dry cloth.

And when they looked at the sea bream on the table again, they were completely dumbfounded.

Because the huge sea bream had not only been completely separated from its head and body, but the body of the fish had also been completely processed, even divided into several parts such as the belly and lower abdomen.

The larger the fish, the more difficult it is to cut, because the thicker the fish meat is, the more strength the chef needs to use. Also, because the fish is large, the bones on its body will also be large, so it is generally quite time-consuming to use a kitchen knife to cut such a large fish.

But for sashimi dishes, freshness is always the most important point, and fish that are slaughtered immediately can just meet this characteristic of sashimi.

The larger the fish, the fattier it is and the higher its fat content. The combination of freshness and high fat content creates the ultimate sashimi dish.

However, any chef knows that achieving both of these goals at the same time is not an easy task.

Big fish with high fat content are not so difficult to find. After all, the sea is vast and excellent ingredients, although expensive, are not rare.

The biggest difficulty in making top-notch sashimi dishes lies in the large, fat fish with a high fat content. They have to be slaughtered on the spot and processed at an extremely fast speed, which is definitely a very difficult task.

Can the difficulty of killing a small fish weighing a few kilograms be compared with that of killing a big fish weighing a hundred kilograms?

As we all know, the longer it takes to process fish, the less fresh and delicious the sashimi will be. Many people might say, if that's the case, then using machines to slaughter fish can ensure the freshness of the ingredients to the greatest extent, right?
But top chefs understand that preparing sashimi is a very delicate job.

The fat density and content of each fish are different, and the same is true for the best tasting part of the fish. Excellent chefs can judge this based on experience, but can a machine do this?

This is obviously not possible, so sashimi dishes cut by machines can generally only be found in places like supermarkets, while the real top-quality sashimi dishes can only be eaten in restaurants.

Even for some skilled chefs, it would take at least several minutes to process a sea bream weighing over 100 pounds, but what did they see now?
In just a few breaths while they were distracted, Seiya had already cut the whole sea bream into pieces, and precisely divided them into several parts according to the fat content of the fish.

"Are those his special knives?"

Seeing that Seiya had completed the entire cutting of the sea bream in just a few moments, Erina now turned her attention to Seiya's Seven Star Sword.

For a chef, a good set of knives is like his soul.

This is even more true for a chef who specializes in sashimi.

"No, it's definitely not just that. The sword in Seiya's hand does look very sharp.

But even with a good set of knives, it would have been impossible to handle this giant snapper so easily in such a short time."

Hearing what Soma Yukihira said, Erina also pursed her lips.

Indeed, as Soma Yukihira said, even if she was given the same knife to use, she would not be able to process such a large sea bream so perfectly in such a short time.

Looking at Erina and Soma Yukihira who were looking surprised, Nakiri Senzaemon crossed his arms and took a look at the Seven Star Sword in Seiya's hand. He then slowly said, "The knife he uses is not an ordinary knife.

It is the legendary Seven-Star Knife in the flower-growing and cooking world. If you want to use this set of knives, you also need to master the matching skills, which is not something that ordinary chefs can master.

And it's not just his skills; his physical fitness and basic skills are also quite solid. Otherwise, even the Seven Star Knife wouldn't be able to finish processing the sea bream in such a short time."

After processing the giant sea bream, Seiya took out the most plump and delicious belly of the fish, which was suitable for sashimi, from the processed sea bream meat, and once again drew out the long sword of the Seven Star Swords - Tanlang.

The sashimi dish that Seiya is making now is actually the sea bream dish that Ryan made when Cooking Master competed for the legendary cooking utensil "Eternal Spirit Sword" - the Fierce Ice Sea Bream Mountain!

As the culinary inheritor of Ryan, this sashimi dish was naturally recorded in the recipe that Wenren Qingying left for Shengya.

Although in the plot, "Fierce Ice Tai Mountain" lost to the "True Tai Continent Map" of the Cooking Master, but as a sashimi dish, this dish is undoubtedly top-notch.

Even in the sea bream dish, in Seiya's opinion, Ryan was only narrowly defeated by Chef Boy.

Because although the "True Sea Bream Continent Map" is awesome, its success lies more in its innovation and conception.
