Chapter 20: The Freshest Sashimi

"Jingle jingle bell!"

Just as Lin Xiuyi finished drinking the beer and leaned on the cabin and fell asleep, the sound of a bell suddenly sounded from the fishing rod set up on the side of the boat.

Lin Xiuyi, who was woken up, hurriedly picked up the fishing rod and skillfully wound the fishing reel.

"Ah...... Didn't you take the bait?"

Standing on the top of the cabin, Reina screamed happily, and then slid down from the cabin with agility, she helped Lin Xiuyi pull the fishing rod together, trying her best to pull the hooked fish out of the water.

"It's great that there's movement on Xiu Yijun's side! Don't keep the fishing line tight, or the fishing line will easily break......"

Hearing Zuo Jin's reminder, Lin Xiuyi nodded proudly, and then he continued to use the fishing reel and fishing rod to fight with the fish underwater, after the reel went around a few times, Lin Xiuyi would put some more forward, it was in this way that the angler could fully consume the physical strength of the fish hooked underwater, and when the physical strength of the fish was exhausted, Lin Xiuyi could effortlessly drag the fish to the side of the boat.

After more than ten minutes of repeated fighting, Lin Xiuyi finally pulled the underwater fish to the side of the boat, and Ling Nai, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately couldn't wait to catch the fish from the sea with a net.

"It's ......"

Lin Xiuyi looked at the fish in the net, with large gray spots on their dark yellow skin. Lin Xiuyi really couldn't recognize what kind of fish this was.

"It's so powerful, Xiu Yijun's first fish is the Otaki six-line fish!"

"It's really good!"

"Ernie sauce, stand there and don't move, let me take a picture of you first!"

……

Everyone walked over to check Lin Xiuyi's catch, at this time Lin Xiuyi happily clamped the fish's mouth with pliers, and then dragged the fish's tail with his other hand and put it in his arms, while Ling Nai squatted on the roof of the cabin and took a commemorative photo of Lin Xiuyi.

"Shuichi-kun, why don't we make it into sashimi!"

After the photo was over, Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw the photo of himself and this big fish in the photo, and on the other side, Zuo Jin found a cutting board and a kitchen knife from the wearing and carefully handled Lin Xiuyi's fish.

The tip of the knife gently cut through the skin of the lower part of the gills, and with his left hand, he cut off the head of the fish and threw it into the garbage bag on the side, and then he removed the internal organs of the abdomen. After gently peeling the fish from the bones, he carefully cut off the flesh with the blade against the skin after washing the blood on the board.

"Amazing, this fat, the fish should be fat. Wow, it's amazing, you can feel the rebound of the fish on the knife, I can't wait to taste it!"

It seems that Zuo Jin often helps guests with fish on the boat! His knife skills are very skillful, but in a few minutes, the whole fish is cleaned up by him. And what made Lin Xiuyi feel even more praised was that the sashimi cut near the left was very neat, although it was placed on a disposable plate, it still made Lin Xiuyi feel a feeling of tasting high-end kappo cuisine.

After cutting the fish, Zuo Jin brought soy sauce and wasabi from the boat, and then made a simple dipping sauce for everyone.

"Taste it, Xiuyi-kun! You're the first person to gain today!"

Left side encouragement, and at the same time put the plate containing the fish in front of Lin Xiuyi, Lin Xiuyi directly picked up a piece of translucent fish from the plate, and then lightly dipped some soy sauce and wasabi mixed sauce, and put the fish whole into his mouth.

"Oh...... It's a ...... taste."

"Well, it tastes absolutely different from the sashimi in the izakaya. ”

As he spoke, he also picked up a slice of sashimi and dipped it in some seasoning, and then put it in his mouth. Immediately afterwards, driven by curiosity, Reina, Kumiko, and Youjin, who had been waiting for the fish to take the bait, also ran over to taste the Otaki six-line fish caught by Lin Shuichi.

When the cool fish is put in the mouth, the elasticity of the fish is vividly reflected as the teeth chew it, and this elasticity is absolutely incomparable to that of the sashimi offered in izakaya. And not only in terms of taste, but also in terms of taste, it is better than the sashimi that Lin Xiuyi has eaten on weekdays. The texture of the Q-bomb and the unique sweetness of fresh fish make it more fragrant and sweeter the more you chew.

A 45-centimeter-long Otaki six-line fish was quickly divided up by everyone on board. At the same time, it also made Lin Xiuyi have some confidence in his fishing skills. After Zuo Jin proposed to change the fishing position, Lin Xiu initially tried to use lure (fake bait) and bait wooden rod to adjust the squid in the sea.

"Xiu Yijun, have you used a bait rod and a lure before?"

"This ...... I've never touched it yet!"

"It's okay, there are all kinds of fishing rods on the boat, let's play together for a while!"

Zuo Jin said, picked up the fishing rod and began to lower the rod, after throwing Lu Ya into the water, Zuo Jin patiently instructed Lin Xiuyi.

"Lua's words need to be shaken with the rod to make it look more realistic, so that the squid and other fish in the water will swallow our lure as if it were a small fish. Please sink the lure to the bottom of the sea like I did, and shake it up and down 10 times, then pull it up again and try to see if there is any weight, if not, continue to sink to the bottom of the sea and shake it up and down, if you feel it, like this......"

Zuo Jin tightened the reel as he spoke, and soon Lin Xiuyi was surprised to pull a squid out of the water.

"That's amazing! This is ......."

"It's the North Squid! Xiu Yijun, please play to your heart's content, I'll take this one and make it into sashimi first, how about we cut half into shreds and half into slices!"

"Wait a minute, what other fish can be caught here?"

"There are usually scorpion and otaki sturgeon, as well as scorpionfish, scorpionfish, yellowtail, and Ezo fliunder, which are unique to the area, so this is a great place for sea fishing, and if you get a live fish, you can put them in the tank below deck. ”

……

Just as Zuo Jin said, it is really easy to fish for squid in Hokkaido! In just over an hour, Lin Xiuyi caught seven or eight squid. During this period, a 70-centimeter-long yellowtail and a 30-centimeter-long Ezo foil were caught on the right and left, respectively.

"Ah...... Look over there! It's so beautiful!"

Ling Nai, who had been surrounding Lin Xiuyi, suddenly looked up, saw a touch of morning glow at the end of the horizon, and couldn't help but raise the camera in her hand to record this moving beauty. Lin Xiuyi also stopped his movements under Ling Nai's reminder, and raised his head to look at the red sun on the sea.

"I didn't expect time to pass so quickly!"
