Chapter 319: Delicious Prawn Crickets
In the early morning, Zhuang Haiyang, who stayed in the salvage boat for a night of practice, was still the first to wake up on the ship. When I saw my comrades-in-arms who were on duty at night, I went into the water after saying hello and started my daily morning exercise every time I went to sea.
He has gone to sea so many times together, and his comrades-in-arms who have gone to sea with the ship basically know his habits. The comrades-in-arms who were in charge of the night could only shake their heads with a wry smile when they looked at Zhuang Haiyang, who jumped into the sea and soon disappeared without a trace.
Many comrades-in-arms envy Zhuang Haiyang's diving ability at this moment, but more comrades-in-arms know that this ability is not easy to obtain. Don't look at them saying every day that each other loves to be salted fish, but it's really more positive than training, but I'm afraid that no one is as good as Zhuang Haiyang.
"This guy, except for his girlfriend who is a little better at home, usually seems to have unlimited energy!"
In addition to sighing, the comrades-in-arms on duty at night also knew that every time they went to sea, they could return with a full load, and a large part of the reason was due to Zhuang Haiyang. Don't look at the other party just moving their mouths, you can change to someone else's command, I'm afraid the result will not be like this.
After swimming in the sea for nearly two hours, thoroughly digesting the results of last night's cultivation, the other comrades-in-arms also got up when they returned to the boat. After a brief breakfast, Zhuang Haiyang immediately said, "Squad leader, prepare to anchor!"
"Okay, you guys, move quickly, change your clothes and get ready for work. ”
"Okay! right away!"
Several other comrades-in-arms who were squatting together to eat breakfast a little slower, heard Wang Yanming's greeting, and quickly wiped out the breakfast in the bowl. Most of the comrades-in-arms who have eaten breakfast in advance have changed their clothes and are ready to start today's work.
When the salvage boat sailed to the sea area where the crab pot was lowered last night, it was still Zhuang Haiyang who was responsible for throwing the hook and pulling the cage. As the first crab pot was hoisted, the comrades staring at the crab pot all smiled and said, "Not bad! It seems that there are a lot of crabs here!"
"I hope there are more big ones! The first few crabs I caught, there seem to be more small ones. ”
"Every time, I pick up the big ones, and throw the small ones back into the sea, and the more times I do, the smaller ones are naturally more. ”
During the chat, the crab pots were also untied and dumped on the deck. At this moment, a comrade-in-arms suddenly said: "Hold a grass, what the hell is this?" Wait, it seems to be a Pipi shrimp, but this head is too big, right?"
Looking at a few oversized pipi shrimp bouncing on the deck, the comrades who saw it for the first time were surprised. Zhuang Haiyang, who was hooking the crab pot rope, glanced back twice, and then said: "This is the Pipi shrimp, but it is bigger." ”
"Ocean, can you eat this thing?"
"Don't worry, it's not only edible, but it tastes good. Ordinary Pipi shrimp is a catty, and this thing is only sold. Lao Wu, wait and see how much you can catch, if it's not much, steam the garlic at noon to taste. ”
"Good!"
Wu Xingcheng, who also participated in sorting trash fish and shrimp, didn't say much when he heard Zhuang Haiyang's order. But soon a comrade-in-arms said: "Ocean, the price of this thing should be more expensive than crabs, right?"
"It's okay! In the domestic seas, it is rare to encounter this kind of shrimp cricket, and most of the shrimp crickets sold on the market are imported from Siam and other countries. It stands to reason that this kind of shrimp cricket should be common in the offshore waters, and it is a bit surprising that it can be caught here. ”
"Imported, then the price of this one shouldn't be cheap, right?"
"If it's big, it's more expensive, and if it's half-cooked and frozen, it's cheaper. ”
As a child who grew up by the sea, he has a lot of contact with Chen Chong, the heir of the seafood restaurant, and Zhuang Haiyang knows the price of this kind of big skin shrimp. In his opinion, eating a shrimp with this skin is not as expensive as eating a big crab.
It's rare to have a chance to catch it, so naturally you have to taste it yourself. The other comrades-in-arms saw that there were not many of them, and they heard that this thing loved to kill each other, and it was not easy to bring it back alive, so they naturally did not refuse the suggestion to try it.
Little Pipi shrimp, after coming to Nanshan Island, these comrades-in-arms did not eat less, and they naturally knew the taste of Pipi shrimp. It's rare to come across such a big Pipi shrimp, and it's a pity not to taste it. No matter how expensive it is, can it be too expensive to have a big yellow croaker?
In the past, when they caught a big yellow croaker, they all ate it correctly, not to mention a few big pipi shrimps?
To Zhuang Haiyang's surprise, in the crab pots that were hung up in the future, this kind of big skin shrimp could be seen more or less. Sensing along the seabed where the crab pots were placed, Zhuang Haiyang found that there seemed to be a lot of silt under this sea area.
Thinking that Pipi shrimp loves to drill into the mud, he said thoughtfully: "Dare to love or a piece of silt, so that these Pipi shrimp inhabit here!"
Wu Xingcheng, who was in charge of sorting out the miscellaneous fish outside the crabs, looked at the Pipi shrimp that was torn in the bucket, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, this thing is much more ferocious and aggressive than the little Pipi shrimp." These pairs of pliers are like mantis arms!"
"Lao Wu, try a salt and pepper at noon, the skin shrimp I used to eat tasted good, but there was less meat, this thing should have more meat, right?"
"Look at the belly and the amount of meat, there should be a lot of meat!"
Before the crab was finished, everyone began to discuss how to eat it. For this situation, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say much. For these comrades-in-arms, as the number of trips to the sea increased, they also became accustomed to life on board.
Laugh and make a fuss from time to time, and the atmosphere on the ship will not be lifeless!
As the last crab pot was recovered, Qian Yunpeng, who was in charge of directing the sorting work, looked at the crabs dumped in the water tank, and said very directly: "Ocean, today's commercial crabs don't seem to be as many as before." ”
"This harvest is okay! This is a new sea area, we are not very familiar with it, walk a few more places, we should be able to find more sea areas for crabs." It's a little smaller, but the crabs are pretty big, right?"
"There are indeed more single big crabs than before. It stands to reason that there should be more crabs with such a big crab!"
"When I got off the crab pot yesterday, I only saw that the water level here is shallow, and there are a lot of seaweed creatures. But when I saw those shrimp crickets before, I knew that there should be a lot of silt on the bottom of the sea. For many crabs, they still prefer to inhabit places with sand and rocks. ”
"Is that so? Tomorrow, we're going to have to switch places to cage again?"
"Well, we should be content to have such a harvest. I now find that you are more greedy than I am!"
"So what can I do, I wondered, since they are all out to sea, wouldn't the more fish the better?"
"But you should know that there are crabs in the sea, and the problem is that I can't drive them into the crab pots. It's okay, wait for tomorrow to choose a new place, and I guarantee that there will be more crabs than today. ”
For Zhuang Haiyang, even if there are occasional misses, he will not feel frustrated. The other comrades-in-arms felt that they had missed, and they were replaced by other fishing bosses, and they probably couldn't stop laughing a long time ago. Being a man, contentment will always be happy!
After hanging the crab pot, Zhuang Haiyang also asked Wang Yanming to drive a salvage boat and sail slowly in the nearby waters. When lunch was ready, looking at the seafood that was served one after another, the plate of salt-and-pepper shrimp instantly became the object of siege by everyone.
It's just that seeing such a hard shell, many comrades-in-arms laughed and said, "How can eating this thing be the same as eating crabs?"
"Find scissors! Cut off all the shells and see how much meat there is in this shrimp!"
Tools for eating crabs are certainly not lacking on the salvage boat. With the scissors brought, each skin shrimp was dissected into a long strip of shrimp meat by the comrades. With Wu Xingcheng's homemade seasoning, everyone eats it with a fragrant mouth.
Not to mention, this skin shrimp does have a lot of meat, and the taste is no worse than crab meat. ”
"Fresh, fragrant, sweet, the meat is still a little chewy, the taste is really good, delicious!"
Every time I go to sea, I can taste all kinds of freshly caught seafood, and these comrades-in-arms have a lot of knowledge about the delicious seafood. Although I haven't gotten tired of eating seafood, I can eat enough seafood for some of them.
Only some seafood that they have not tasted before will make them feel fresh and delicious. And this time I came here to fish, and the taste of these prawns and crickets still conquered the slightly picky mouths of these comrades.
On the other hand, Zhuang Haiyang, who was peeling shrimp crickets, listened to the chatter of these comrades-in-arms, and did not interject much many times. With the improvement of his strength, he has a much less desire for tongues than before. To be precise, it should be more picky.
Don't look at the meals every day, he is no different from other comrades-in-arms, he doesn't eat too much but not too little, and he eats in line with common sense. But more often, Zhuang Haiyang will pick some green vegetables when he eats, as well as fresh seafood that tastes good.
When it comes to other dishes, there are not many that really satisfy him. If he didn't eat for a long time, he would feel hungry, and Zhuang Haiyang sometimes wondered if he had entered the realm of Bigu, as others said.
After tasting two freshly caught shrimp crickets, Zhuang Haiyang focused more on home-grown vegetables, and announced the end of lunch after eating a bowl of rice. In the eyes of other comrades-in-arms, this amount of food should be far from enough compared to the physical strength he consumed.
Just as he was about to leave, Wu Xingcheng also asked at the right time: "Ocean, what about the rest of the shrimp crickets?"
"If you like to eat, why don't you have a whole plate for the night?"
"No matter how good it is, you will get tired of eating it even again! And this shrimp cricket tastes really good, why don't you take some back?"
"Is that so? Then find a separate bucket and keep the rest of the shrimp crickets in the bucket. Also, I'm looking for something to tie it up and raise it. Otherwise, it is estimated that by the time we return, these shrimp crickets will be almost dead. ”
"Okay!"
It is clear that this shrimp cricket is extremely aggressive, and if you want to transport it back alive, you have to tie it up like those aggressive crabs, and keep them alone. If you really want to freeze it, then thaw it and steam it out, and the taste is not as good as it is now.
As many people say, seafood is umami. Once frozen, the taste is still much worse than fresh. Thinking of this kind of shrimp cricket, my sister may not have eaten it, so it's not bad to bring a few back for her to try it.
The most important thing is this kind of big skin shrimp, the two little girls should like to eat it. Anyway, the amount is not large, and there is no interest in selling it separately. Take it home and let those who are at home try it, and I'm sure they'll like it too.
And the comrades-in-arms who have tasted it fresh, although they think this big skin shrimp tastes good. But I really have to eat it every day, and I guess I will get tired of it after a few meals. Preparing the menu in a different way is also the job of Wu Xingcheng, the chef who accompanied the ship!
