Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

For fresh sea fish, the most common way to cook it and the least likely way to overturn it is to steam it.

Of course, except for some fish, such as Yanzi, when it is steamed, except for a small part of the meat on the belly of the fish, the rest of it is just like chewing wood.

The large yellow croaker has a unique fragrance, and the thick belly part melts in your mouth.

All I can say is that the price will not go wrong. It is expensive for a reason.

In terms of the fineness of the meat, gray pomfret is more tender than large yellow croaker, but large yellow croaker is meat with garlic cloves and has its own fragrance. It's really hard to say which one tastes better.

Zhao Qin sighed, fortunately he didn’t have to choose, he could eat the two tails together.

The big yellow croaker is accompanied by the gray pomfret. I didn’t take any of it today. The main thing is to enjoy it.

After eating only the bones of the two fishes, they dipped them in the soup and threw the isinglass from the large yellow croaker into their mouths. They were soft and chewy, and there was collagen between the lips and teeth.

Of course, for fishermen, even if they take hyaluronic acid, their skin will not be very good.

Even though Zhao Qin has paid great attention to it, tanning is inevitable.

My ship is okay. At least everyone can wash their faces and brush their teeth once a day. Some boatmen go to sea for a few days and are totally shameless.

After all, you catch up on sleep when you lie down, and you may have to get into intense work as soon as you open your eyes.

At this time yesterday, the ship had anchored and was resting, but everyone planned to return tomorrow afternoon, so they did not plan to rest tonight.

"Aqin, are you still going south?"

"No, let's go east. We'll see if we can drag two nets until daybreak. After daybreak, we'll lower the nets into the sea and keep dragging them back. Just raise the nets once in the middle."

The old cat heard that his plan was reasonable and made no further objections. He sighed and said, "If only there were a few more days of good weather, we might be able to fill up the cabin."

"Brother Cat, our cabin can hold 50 tons."

"One net is two tons, which is actually very fast. By the way, the baskets I brought this time are still less. When I go back to rest, why don't I go to Shicheng to order a batch."

The size of the cabins is different, as well as the types of main fishing products, so the size of the basket is also particular in the selection. Lao Mao is an experienced fisherman, and the one he ordered will definitely be more practical.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you. I'll reimburse you for the round trip expenses and the cost of the basket when the time comes."

The old cat didn't refuse, he responded with his mouth, and kept looking at the situation around him.

"Aqin, let's change for a while. You can take a rest."

"No, Brother Cat, you go and take a rest. I'll have enough sleep in the afternoon."

"There's no need to rest. I can sleep for a few days when I go back tomorrow. I've slept more in the past two days than I did on Lao Cai's boat."

Although Lao Mao does not have to fish on Lao Cai's boat, he is responsible for many things, and observing the fish situation is very important.

In other words, the harvest of fishermen on the boat is closely related to the diligence and experience of the old cat.

Seeing that he really didn't want to rest, Zhao Qin got out of the way and gave him another cigarette.

"Brother Cat, let's work hard and buy a bigger ship in two years. We'll also go to the ocean to see it."

"A ship like that can easily cost 10 to 20 million."

Zhao Qin smiled and said nothing. A fishing boat worth 70 to million yuan was not his goal yet. He wanted to have at least one fishing boat over meters. The cost of such a boat would generally not be less than million yuan.

One net may contain dozens of tons of fish, and a full cabin can contain at least a thousand tons of fish.

If you really want to have three or four boats like this, then you can rest at home, go fishing, plant vegetables and so on.

When that time comes, he will not go with the boat. After all, it takes at least three or four months for that kind of boat to go out. Don't make money by then and the wife will no longer be his.

"Aqin, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Oh, I didn't think about it. Brother Cat, how many children do you have?"

"There are four of us, two sons and two daughters. The eldest is 4 years old and is still in high school. She is a girl and the best academic among the four.

I thought, as long as she is willing to study, I will provide her with a Ph.D. "

Speaking of his eldest daughter, the old cat showed pride on his face.

"Not bad! You're punished a lot for having four children, right?"

Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on Lao Mao's face again, "Don't mention it. I suffered when I was pregnant with my third child. The season was even more severe than now. If I caught her, I would take her to the hospital and abort her.

There is no way to stay in the village. We are fishermen. Whenever there is any trouble, we take our wives on the boat. The third and fourth children were both born on the boat.

If the baby is born, it will be nothing more than a fine. "

In fact, the old cat is not very old, less than 40 years old, but after floating on the sea for a long time, people will look older. They look no different from fifty-year-old people in the city, or even look older.

The two chatted endlessly. At 3 o'clock in the morning, Zhao Qin picked up the loudspeaker to notify everyone to get up and start closing the net.

The catch of this net was slightly less than that of the previous net, but there was still nearly two tons, and it was still mainly gray pomfret. When the fish were completely spread out, everyone found that there was an unexpected surprise.

A tiger striped tail weighing 14 to 5 pounds.

If it were a small boat in the past, everyone might cheer. After all, one tail can be worth three to four thousand yuan, but for today's big boats, compared with the value of one net, this is really not enough.

Even if it wasn't enough, it was still a good fish. The old cat found a needle to deflate it, and then threw it into the same cabin as the previous weak stickleback.

"Hey, Brother Aqin, there is actually a tiger crab." Achen pulled out a crab with a unique shape from the pile of fish.

Different from ordinary crabs, it is more like a hybrid between a lobster and a crab. It has a big head and thick body, short legs and fat chelae. There are fine brown-red hairs on the edge of the body. The texture and color of the head are similar to tiger skin, so called tiger crab,

Because it can squat like a frog with its head held high, it is also called a frog crab.

Of course, different places have different names. In some places, it is also called sea bug or shrimp head.

This thing is widely distributed and can be found in several sea areas in our country.

tiger crab

After being cooked, the body turns bright red, which is very festive, and because the meat is fresh and sweet, it is almost the same as lobster, so the economic value is also very high.

"Aqin, what's the current price of tiger crabs?"

"I don't know, but it's definitely more expensive than blue crabs. Five or sixty-one pounds is definitely worth it, but it's too small, there aren't a few of them. Let's share it when we get off the boat."

The old cat nodded. There are only a dozen of them picked out so far. It would be good if one person can get two.

After all the fish were put into the cabin, it was almost an hour before dawn, and everyone was no longer sleepy. Chen Yuce leaned against the side of the boat and smoked a cigarette.

I turned my head and found a few squids swimming on the sea around the light. "Brother Zhuzhu, there are fish here."

He excitedly picked up the net and quickly copied it. It was pretty good. He caught three or four fish, the big ones were about a pound, and the small ones were about half a pound.

Seeing that he really hit the mark, Ah Chen and Xia Shouzhu couldn't sit still. They found a place with the brightest lights and stood there, holding the net in their hands. Not to mention, every time they copied the net, they gained something.

Seeing this, Zhao Qin smiled and said: "If you don't want to rest, just fish. This is considered your personal welfare and does not need to be included in the public account. You can take whatever you catch home and eat it yourself."

After hearing what he said, everyone fished even more enthusiastically. No matter how much they fished, it would be great to take back ten or eight kilograms for the family to try.

Lao Mao took the fishing net and stood directly on the bow of the boat. Although the light was the brightest here, because the bow of the boat was tilted, it was actually higher than the sea surface, making it relatively harder to fish.

But he is an old fisherman, with the steadiest hands and fastest movements, and is more efficient than the other three.

In an hour, Lao Mao used a fishing net to catch 30 kilograms of rocket squid. Now he couldn't bear to take it back to eat. It could be worth a thousand yuan if sold.
