Volume 10 Chapter 9: Butter Salmon

Volume 10 Chapter 9: Butter Salmon

So beautiful. That was the only way to describe this scene; he was spellbound. Seeing it from the top didn’t do it justice. The view from the bottom was the best. Many fish swam around; different types of coral and other aquatic life were also there. 

Beautiful and serene.

While Keith was dazed by the sight, his shoulder was tapped. It was Long Qiqiang. He started to make signs with his hands. We need to focus on the fish. Noticing how this guy was spacing out right now, he needed to refocus. 

Understood. Keith gave a thumbs up as they headed to the fish. That was when they saw more than 50 fish swimming together. It was quite a special sight. 

That was when Long Qiqiang signaled with his hand, telling him to fire. The three pointed their harpoons at the fish and fired off. Instant kill; they were able to grab quite a few from that one shot.

Retrieving the harpoon, they fired at the group again. The two continued to do so before they had collected quite an amount of them. That was when they came out,

“You’re quite the natural at using the harpoon.” Long Qiqiang laughed. Keith had been firing it off, and he could catch them off guard every time. 

“This is quite an easy weapon to use.” Point and shoot. That was how simple the weapon was. There was no need to do anything else. 

“We caught a haul!” Long Qiqiang marveled at the fish. Each one could feed a lot. That was when Keith decided, “I’m going to cook one of them.” Fish. It had been quite some time since he had cooked any of them. 

He quickly grabbed one and dashed to the kitchen. 

Keith stared at the salmon that was before him. It was quite beautiful as a giant orange stripe crossed the fish’s center. While he stared, Carolyn and the others stood on the side. 

“You got an idea of what you want to do?” Carolyn grinned. 

“Mmhmm, gonna make something nice with it right now.” He placed the big piece of fish across the table. That was when he brought out his butcher knife and cut the thing down. Long Qiqiang and Shinzo stared at his work,

“…So you were a swordsman.”

“Hmm?”

“From how you use your knives, those moves aren't that of an amateur,” It was clear from how swiftly he moved the knives to the pinpoint cuts. 

Keith rubbed his nose, “I take pride in my knife abilities.“ That was something he wasn’t going to be shy about. He had been honing them for quite some time now. Keith continued to slice the fish a bit before he had a long fillet.

What a beautiful color. A perfect orange. Actually, it was deeper than a regular salmon as it was more of an amber color. 

From there, he started to debone each of the remaining bones. That was when there was a perfect fillet in his hand. 

I can start now. Preparing the ingredients was the first step of the battle; seasoning and cooking came next. 

Salt and pepper the salmon; he placed it on the skin side down on the pan. Slowly, there was quite a sizzling sound coming from the pan. But after some time, he lowered the heat and flipped it onto the other side. There was a perfect sear on it. 

“Let’s try it out,” But as he was about to stick the fork in, that was when he saw so many people before him.

“Oh, yeah?”

Long Qiqiang laughed, “Did you forget about us?” This dude definitely has a few screws loose with how he did things. He completely forgot about them watching him for the last few minutes. 

Keith waved his hand, “I’m going to try this out first. I actually don’t know the taste profile.” This was more of a test piece to determine what he had to work with.

That was when he took a bite. I see, so that’s what I have to work with. He immediately understood what to do with this fish. 

It was springy and melted in his mouth. Not only that, there was no need to salt the fish. It was already pretty much salted from the get-go. Okay, the only thing that was needed was butter.

Repeating the same thing with another piece of salmon, he sliced in some compact butter and basted the fish in the melted liquid. And the aroma coming from it was incredible. As Keith touched the fish, it gently broke apart! It was so gentle and easy. 

He placed it on the table, “Presenting some butter salmon.” That was when they all started to take a bite. It was quite a delicious thing.

“So smooth.”

“I feel so much flavor coming from it.” Never had they eaten something like this before.

“What do you guys think?”

“Fish is so tasty,” Carolyn smiled as she continued to bite. But the one who ate like a beast was none other than Aria! The only other time he had seen the owl move so quickly was with orc!

Is this her favorite? 

“Delicious.” Long Lihua continued to munch on it. While she continued to do so, “Wouldn’t it go well with that?”

“Hmm? Go well with what?” Keith tilted his head. That was when Long Qiqiang took something from his pouch, “We have rice here.”
