Compared with other sea crabs, it is undoubtedly more difficult to catch king crabs, and this crab is mainly distributed in cold seas. This also means that the sea area where this kind of crab can really be caught is relatively rare.

In addition, the sea area inhabited by king crabs is much deeper than ordinary sea crabs, and it really takes a little luck and experience to catch this large crab hidden deep in the seabed. Perhaps it is because it is difficult to catch that the price remains high.

There are many professional crab fishing boats that come to Antarctic waters or other cold waters to catch king crabs every year, but every time they go to sea, even experienced crew members dare not guarantee that they can catch too many king crabs every time they go to sea.

Even in some areas where the sea conditions are relatively dangerous, the risk of salvaging this crab is great. If you are not careful, the crew and the crab fishing boat may be buried at the bottom of the sea. In short, this money seems to be easy to earn, but there are not many people who can really make this kind of money.

For the first time, the crew came to this sea area to carry out experimental fishing. Speaking of which, although Zhuang Haiyang has confidence, the other crew members are still quite expectant. The crab pot was not hoisted, and everything was unknown.

After everyone had breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Prepare to change clothes and start hanging the cage." ”

"Understood!"

"By the way, when the crab pot is hoisted up and the crabs are selected, you must pay attention to what I said before. The policy on the side of New Siller is a little different from that in China. This king crab, they all have strict standards.

This also means that when you pick crabs, you have to pick crabs that meet the criteria. Those crabs that don't meet the standards, don't be reluctant to throw them. If you bring back crabs that don't meet the standards, you'll be fined, understand?"

"Well, remember! But it would be better for you to show us how to catch it in the next cage. In that case, we pick and choose and know how big a crab we can want. King crab looks big in itself, right?"

Compared with the sea crabs we caught before, it is estimated that there are many king crabs that are not up to standard. ”

After laughing, Zhuang Haiyang also signaled Wang Yanming to drive the boat to the place where the crab pot was dropped off yesterday. When he saw the outermost crab pot buoy, Zhuang Haiyang, as usual, personally took on the crab pot and then hung it on the crane.

As the crane starts, the ropes tied to the crab pots also begin to tighten. Not long after, the crab pot, which had been sunk at the bottom of the sea for nearly a day, was finally successfully pulled out of the water. The moment they saw the crab pot, everyone instantly boiled.

"Hold a grass, burst the cage! Burst the cage! There are so many crabs!"

"yes! This crab is too big, and it looks a little scary!"

Amid the gossip, the two crew members pulled the crab pots to the deck one after the other. Zhuang Haiyang, who was personally responsible for unraveling the cage, soon saw countless king crabs dumped in the sorting bins, and one cage was directly filled with one box.

Handed over the empty cage to the crew around him to be responsible for cleaning up and processing, looking at the crabs struggling in the box, Zhuang Haiyang picked one of them and said: "Junzi, you are all optimistic! The minimum standard must be bigger than this." ”

"Ahh

"It doesn't matter! As long as the quality of the crabs we catch is good, there will definitely be an advantage in price." On top of that, most of the other crab fishing boats freeze or keep the king crab they catch, but we can sell live crabs.

All the king crabs that meet the standards are dumped into the large water tank after sorting. These king crabs are not as aggressive as they imagined. By the way, wait and see if there are any crabs with missing arms and legs, and send some to the kitchen for extra meals. ”

"Okay, so we're going to have a big lunch again. ”

With Zhuang Haiyang's instructions, he focused on picking a few crabs that did not meet the standards and threw them back into the sea directly. The sorting box containing the crabs was directly pushed aside and handed over to Zhu Junhong and others for sorting, and the ship continued to sail forward.

When the second crab pot was hoisted out of the water, the crew was also excited to see the crab pot that burst again. Before, they were a little reluctant to throw crabs, but now they finally understand. With such a harvest, it is indeed possible to choose the best of the best.

Sorting boxes filled with crabs were pushed onto the deck to be sorted by the crew. The first box of finished crabs was also pushed by several crew members to a water tank not far away, and then these crabs were thrown into the water tank.

Under normal circumstances, many crab fishing boats will cook the freshly caught king crab directly and then freeze it. In that case, it will be able to retain more of the umami flavor of the king crab. There are also some fishing vessels, which are directly frozen alive for freshness.

There are only a few crab fishing boats that can actually bring live king crab to the market. After all, king crabs are caught out of the water unless they return soon. Otherwise, if you keep them on the boat for a long time, maybe these king crabs will be raised to death.

Crabs are worthless once they die. It is precisely for this reason that when Zhuang Haiyang customizes the fishing boat, he will deliberately ask the captain to build two water tanks, one large and one small. The big ones are naturally used to hold crabs.

The smaller one is used to hold some relatively rare live marine fish. Other seafood that is caught will be of a different variety and sent to the frozen and fresh-keeping warehouses respectively. Fortunately, the fishing boat is large enough, and it can carry more seafood.

To Zhuang Haiyang's surprise, when the crab pot was halfway open, he found that there seemed to be a cage missing. And the buoy of the cage seems to have disappeared. Seeing this, Zhuang Haiyang was also stunned for a moment.

"There should be a cage here, why is the buoy missing?"

"The ocean, could it be that the rope is broken? The buoy must have drifted away if it was not forced. ”

Hearing the words of his comrades-in-arms around him, Zhuang Haiyang also said directly: "Let the boat pause for a while, and then find a rope again." Although the cage is not valuable, the crab in the cage is valuable, so I will go to the sea to catch it. ”

As soon as they heard this, many comrades-in-arms said, "Isn't the position where this cage sinks?"

"Don't worry, don't you know my water nature? A few minutes of business, not much time can be delayed. ”

Zhuang Haiyang, who was talking, took the spare rope from his comrades, took off his coat, moved his body briefly, and jumped into the bottom of the sea. After searching for a while, I soon saw the crab pot in the sunken sea.

To Zhuang Haiyang's surprise, this crab pot had obviously been hit by something. Perhaps it was this impact that eventually caused the rope to break. Considering the bait he put in, he didn't think it was too unusual for this to happen.

found the broken rope, and Zhuang Haiyang directly connected it. It didn't take long for it to surface. Seeing the crew on the ship, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Put the hook down a little!"

"Okay!

At the command of the crew, the hook was quickly lowered. The rope that was connected was hung directly on the hook, and Zhuang Haiyang also signaled that the crew could lift it. Then he pulled the sling directly and returned to the boat again.

"Alright, let's keep hanging! This cage seems to have been hit by something, and it seems that it must have been visited by sharks. ”

"Ahh

Hearing this, Zhuang Haiyang said with a smile: "Don't worry, we use an iron cage, and the shark's teeth are almost there." You take over, I'll go back to the cabin and change my clothes. It's wet, it's uncomfortable. ”

"Okay, then you go change your clothes, and we'll do the rest. ”

"It's okay, this job, you'll have to take over sooner or later anyway. Remember, you must be extra careful when pulling the buoy. It's tougher here, so don't fall off the boat, understand?"

"Well, I remember!"

After explaining the precautions to his comrades, Zhuang Haiyang quickly returned to the cabin and changed into dry clothes. Even if there is a better solution, in front of these comrades-in-arms, there are still some things that need to be avoided.

And on the deck at this moment, I saw the crab pot that had just been hoisted, although it was crowded with king crabs, but the cage did look a little deformed. Even when the crabs were poured out, some comrades soon found out that several crabs were dead.

Seeing this scene, many comrades-in-arms said: "It's a pity!"

"Looks like there's something in the sea that wants to steal food from us?"

"It's okay! Dead ones, just throw them back into the sea. The cage was not lost, and there were so many crabs, but they were still earned after all. By the way, this cage will be broken again later, and the recessed area will be flattened again. ”

"Well, don't worry, we'll take care of that!"

The comrades-in-arms who are responsible for cleaning up the crab pots are themselves responsible for ensuring that the cages can be reused. Many times, when the crab pot sinks to the bottom of the sea, it will also encounter some snorting bumps. In this case, it is natural to need to repair it again.

Nearly half of every box of crabs has to be thrown back into the sea. But in fact, this kind of fishing efficiency, if other crab fishing boats see it, they can't even think about it. The originally empty large water tank was also occupied by many large crabs.

Fortunately, king crab is not very aggressive, and the large water tank space is also sufficient. Zhuang Haiyang, who handed over the lifting work to the crew, also dumped some nutrient solution into the water tank in time to ensure that the king crabs remained alive.

Raised by Dinghai Pearl Water, Zhuang Haiyang believes that these king crabs will live a very moist life. It's just that when they are sent to the port, the fate of the next is naturally beyond Zhuang Haiyang's control. These king crabs will be exchanged for tickets!

For the crew members who went to sea this time, they are also looking forward to the share they will get from their first voyage. Even if the big head is taken out by Zhuang Haiyang, the money that can be distributed to them will not disappoint them.

Rather than receiving a fixed salary, these crew members are more concerned about sharing and bonuses! This is the real big head!

It's just that Zhuang Haiyang is a little helpless that in the process of lifting the crab pot later, the rope was torn off twice. As a result, it was obvious that Zhuang Haiyang, who was helpless, could only go down to the sea three times in a row.

Seeing this scene, everyone also smiled and said: "Fortunately, the ocean is here, otherwise these three cages will not be able to be fished." It's a pity to lose the cage, so many crabs can't be caught in the sea, it's a pity. ”

As these comrades-in-arms said, compared to the money for customizing a crab pot, I am afraid that only one king crab is enough. It doesn't matter if the cage is lost, it's just that the king crab in the cage is wasted, so it's a pity!

Through this phenomenon, everyone also really realized that the marine creatures that inhabit this sea area are still somewhat violent. It was also through this incident that Zhuang Haiyang also decided to change the rope for the crab pot after he went back.

In that case, I believe that the next time the rope is torn, it should be greatly improved. When the last crab pot was hoisted onto the boat, the sorting process ended shortly after.

Next, without Zhuang Haiyang's orders at all, the comrades-in-arms who were busy with their work also began to spontaneously clean up the wet deck. The crab pots that are piled up together, and there are also special personnel to start overhauling to ensure that there are no problems.

If nothing else, after lunch, they will probably have to pick a piece of the sea and throw the cages back into the sea. This voyage, Zhuang Haiyang is expected to take a week. But now it seems that it is estimated that it will return early.

When all the work was done, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "Wash your hands, change your clothes and rest." If you want to eat, you will have to wait a while. The harvest in the morning is good, it seems that we can make a lot of money on this trip!"

"Ocean, how much can this crab sell for?"

"I really haven't inquired about the specific price. However, if this kind of crab is transported back to China alive, according to the standard we selected, it will be sold for 2,000 yuan each, and there is no problem with it!"

As soon as these words came out, a group of comrades-in-arms were instantly stunned and said: "Hold a grass, so expensive?"

"Is it expensive? This is still our price, if you send it to hotels and restaurants, the price will only be higher. I plan to keep some of the king crabs we salvage and send them back to China directly by air, and the restaurant should be able to sell a lot.

In addition to that, sell some more locally. If possible, I plan to cooperate with JD.com in China to supply goods in the form of franchise stores. In this way, we can also maximize the profits of our seafood without robbing the business of the locals. ”

Regarding the sale of these seafood, Zhuang Haiyang and Concubine Li naturally also discussed. And he knows that several major shopping operators in China have actually begun to engage in this kind of high-end direct seafood sales.

Anyway, Zhuang Haiyang has its own fisherman's seafood products store, and there are many high-end customers. As long as this signboard is played, I believe that Jingdong is also willing to cooperate. The premise is that Zhuang Haiyang can guarantee the corresponding supply.

In the case of air freight, the cost is high if the quantity is too small at one time. Overseas purchases are nothing new in today's era. In the future, their own stores will also deal in more rare and expensive products.

Taking the high-end route and maximizing profits is also what Zhuang Haiyang is currently pursuing. Although the speed of payment may be slower, it will be more guaranteed. It's just that this matter still needs a little time to sort it out. Fortunately, it is still enough for now.

Travel companies have hired a lot of employees who are computer literate and have a good education. I believe that it is not a problem to work part-time. There are a group of employees in China and a group of employees abroad, so it is relatively easy to operate.

The only thing that needs to be done may be to apply for inspection and quarantine procedures. The address of the domestic franchise store will still be placed in Nanzhou. For such a decision, other comrades-in-arms naturally did not say much.

The more seafood they sell, the more money they get in the end. Who wouldn't want to make more money?
