Sea-hunting system: I became rich by fishing at sea

This fish is called three-knife fish. It is said that because the fish body is relatively thick, it is not easy to cook thoroughly when steamed.

Therefore, before steaming the fish, people usually make three cuts on the fish, hence the name "three-knife fish".

The knife fish is delicious, tender and smooth, with the sweetness of clam meat. It is known as the king of fish and is very popular in Hong Kong. It is said that it costs thousands of dollars per pound in Hong Kong.

But this is the price in Hong Kong. In mainland China, it’s probably several hundred yuan per kilogram.

The three-knife fish mainly lives at the junction of fresh and salt water, and its traces can be found in offshore reefs and sandy and muddy waters.

However, due to serious marine pollution in recent years, knifefish has very high requirements for water quality. It is now very rare and its price has also risen accordingly.

Previously, Chen Weiqiang picked up a fish at Jiaoshitan during high tide. It cost 300 yuan per pound, which left a deep impression on Chen Zhiyao.

When the people on the boat saw Chen Zhiyao catch a three-knife fish, they were extremely excited and showed expressions of envy and longing.

But soon these people no longer cared about envy, and looked at the sea with fiery eyes, wanting to catch an expensive three-knife fish.

Chen Zhiyao was not slow either. After taking off the beautiful three-knife fish, she immediately put up a new bait.

After several minutes, Chen Zhiyao saw that people around her had started to catch fish, but there was no movement on her side, and she couldn't help but feel anxious.

After a long while, she finally felt a pulling sensation on the fishing rod in her hand.

The pulling force was neither too strong nor too weak, so the fish should not be big. Based on the movement habits of the sea fish, Chen Zhiyao thought it should be the same as before, also a three-knife fish.

When she thought of the price of 300 yuan per kilogram, Chen Zhiyao couldn't help but get excited again, and her heart was very hot.

The fish weighed only a little over one pound. In less than two minutes, Chen Zhiyao pulled it out of the sea. The orange stripes were particularly bright and beautiful in the sun.

At this time, in addition to Chen Zhiyao, a middle-aged man and Chen Daqiang also caught three-knife fish on the boat, but the ones they caught were not big, each weighing about six or seven taels.

There is an island not far from here, and it looks quite big.

The three-knife fish mainly lives at the junction of salt water and fresh water. There happened to be an island in front of them. Chen Zhiyao thought that there should be fresh water on the island.

There were not many knifefish, and after the second one was caught, there was no movement on the fishing rod in Chen Zhiyao's hand.

Others also caught relatively cheaper marine fish such as sea wolf and sea bass.

At this time, other people also thought of the island not far away.

There is a stream on the island that flows directly into the sea, and there are several huge rocks next to it, which look suitable for fishing.

Uninhabited island

At this time, someone suggested going to the island over there to fish.

Because there is fresh water on this island, people nearby are accustomed to calling it Freshwater Island.

Chen Feng and Chen Daqiang had often come to Tamsui Island to fish before, and were quite familiar with the place. They knew that there was no danger here and that the marine resources were quite abundant.

Chen Daqiang looked at the time and saw that it was only 2:45, so it was still early. So he agreed and drove the fishing boat to the Tamsui Island ahead.

There is no suitable dock on the island, so fishing boats can only be parked relatively close to the shore.

Then people were taken to the island using small kayaks.

The father and son were quite familiar with the island and quickly found a perfect location for the fishing friends.

Rocky Beach

The kayak paddled quickly towards a rocky beach. The rocks there were very huge, and there were many coral stones underneath, which were very suitable for fish to live in.

Moreover, this place is not far from the stream we saw just now. Chen Feng had caught three-knife fish here before.

When they heard there was a three-knife fish here, the group of fishermen were extremely excited.

Everyone is ready to try and catch one or two to see what it tastes like, but they can actually sell for hundreds of dollars per pound.

But the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

A group of people stayed on the rocky beach for nearly an hour, but no one could catch a three-knife fish. Most of them were stonefish weighing two or three taels.

Chen Zhiyao caught two stone fish weighing about 2 taels in a row and finally lost her patience.

He stood up and walked in front of Chen Feng, "Brother, I don't think there are many fish here. I'm going to the sea to pick up some crabs, conchs and the like."

Chen Feng nodded and waved at her, "Okay, but don't go too far. You have to be back around 5 o'clock."

"Okay, okay, I'll promise to be back on time at 5 o'clock." Chen Zhiyao said and set the alarm for 4:40 in front of him.

Picking up the bucket, Chen Zhiyao happily walked towards a place with fewer people.

She hadn't taken a few steps when she ran into a familiar little guy.

Flower snail

"Wow, this conch is quite big."

Chen Zhiyao quickly picked up the little guy, and as soon as she lowered her head, she saw another bigger snail at her feet.

There are far fewer people coming and going on the island than on the rocky beach in the village, and the marine resources are also more abundant.

After walking only ten meters, there were several brightly colored snails in the bucket, as well as two proud octopuses.

Octopus +2

The rocks on the rocky beach here are quite large, with the smallest one being half a person's height.

Turning around, she found a large nest of snails in the crevice of a big rock.

These snails are very large, almost every one of them is much larger than her thumb.

Looking at the densely packed little guys in front of you, one can't help but feel a tingling sensation on your scalp.

But it was soon overshadowed by joy, because this was all money.

Chen Zhiyao quickly put all the little guys into her bucket.

This nest of spicy snails is quite big, probably weighing five or six kilograms.

She thought she was lucky to find such a large nest of snails, but she didn't expect that after just a few steps, she found an even larger nest of snails.

The gap between the two big rocks was filled with green little creatures, and the largest ones even had small barnacles on their bodies.

In a short while, the live fish bucket at Chen Zhiyao's feet was half full. It felt heavy in her hand, weighing at least 13 pounds.

Seeing that the sea resources here were quite rich, Chen Zhiyao opened her X-ray glasses with a smile on her face.

When she opened her eyes again, she could see at a glance the clams and moon shells hidden under the sand, and the crabs and octopuses hiding in the cracks of the rocks.

But the most exciting thing was that she discovered a wild abalone.

This abalone grows on a pile of rocks. Its shell is gray and almost blends in with the surrounding rocks.

Abalone mixed in the rocks

Chen Zhiyao stretched out the tongs in her hand, trying to pick up this rare wild abalone.

Unexpectedly, this thing sucked quite tightly and I couldn't take it off after two attempts.

In the end, I had to take a sand shovel and pry hard along the edge of the abalone to get this fat guy off.

This abalone is not big, but it is very plump and full, and it feels heavy in the hand.

She put the abalone into the bucket, and then dug out the clams and moon shells hidden under the sand.

Then he turned around and walked happily towards the reef where the giant blue crab was hidden.

This big guy was very cunning, hiding in the gap between two rocks. If she hadn't had her perspective glasses, she wouldn't have been able to see that there was a big crab weighing nearly a pound hidden in it.

But it was just bad luck for this guy to run into her.
