Chapter 955 Fishing is a big industry

Lewis went to drive the boat, and Li Junge entered the ship's small kitchen and began to rummage through the cabinets.

There are a lot of things, such as white onions, lettuce, red bell peppers, ginger, chopped black pepper, Japanese soy sauce, sugar, white wine, white sesame seeds, chives, salad dressing, tomato sauce, and concentrated sauce.

It seems that Lewis is also a foodie.

Since the seasoning is so complete, this meal is easy to make.

Wash the cod, then gently wipe the cod with a paper towel and marinate it with a little chopped black pepper on both sides.

Then wash the mackerel fillet and control the water, put it in a basin and then add green onion and ginger slices, if there is no cooking wine, replace it with white wine, then add an appropriate amount of salt, gently mix the seasoning, and marinate it too.

Then turn the pan to a boil and take out the frozen cooked fries from the fridge.

After the fries were fried and put aside, Li Junge began to process the cod.

Beat two eggs, add a little pepper and wrap the cod in egg mixture.

Add a little oil to the pot, add white onion and ginger to stir-fry slightly, add the cod on low heat and fry on each side for about 2 minutes, remove and set aside.

Pour an appropriate amount of Japanese soy sauce, sugar, concentrated sauce, and white wine into the pot until thick, add chopped chives and cooked white sesame seeds to make a sauce for pan-fried cod.

Lettuce and red bell pepper cut into shreds and spread the bottom, put on the cod fillet, pour the sauce, and the first course is finished.

Next, the marinated mackerel fillet is blotted with kitchen paper.

Put some oil in the pan, fry the fish fillet in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, remove the oil.

Then start another pot, add a little oil, add green onions, ginger, garlic slices and stir-fry until fragrant, add tomato sauce and white wine, continue to stir-fry until fragrant, add an appropriate amount of hot water, also add concentrated sauce to boil, add sugar, and make a sweet and sour sauce.

Next, it's time for your own seasoning, turn out a small bottle of five-spice powder from the space, add it to the soup, wait for the sauce to boil, put in the fried fish pieces, boil over high heat and simmer over low heat.

Then continue to fry the fish fillet on the other side, wait for the new pot of fish fillet to be fried, take out the fragrant fish fillet from the soup pot and put it on the plate, and put the new fish fillet in while it is hot to soak.

The meal is ready, the destination Blue Ditch has arrived, and the sun has already set.

Li Junge heard the sound of the engine stopping, so he brought out the smoked mackerel, pan-fried cod and French fries.

The two of them sat on the fishing position of the stern pole, and in front of one of them a large plate of food, with a case of beer in the middle, began to eat and drink.

Two dishes, one Chinese and one Western, the cod is fresh and tender, and the mackerel is burnt and fragrant, which was well received by Lewis, holding the red and bright mackerel fillet and saying to Li Junge: "This beer is the real perfect match! You have to teach me this dish." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "If there is Chinese-style soy sauce, the flavor of this dish will be more authentic, but you should be able to buy it in the United States, right? There is also a Chinese-style five-spice powder." You go to a supermarket that sells Chinese spices and find a small yellow cardboard box with brown edges and a picture of an old man with a tall white hat on it, and that's it. ”

After saying that, he told Lewis about the method, and Lewis said: "I thought it was made by you on an uninhabited island, and it's strange! Hahaha, the name is smoked fish, but it turns out that there is no smoke at all! Come to Jungle, take one, and wish you good luck with fish tomorrow!"

Li Junge said: "Squid is not willing to do it. ”

Lewis laughs, "Real anglers are like that, they'd rather be hungry and have good bait." ”

Li Junge smiled: "It seems that you have done this thing a lot! Come, go for this spirit!"

The two continued to laugh while eating, and Li Junge said, "These two kinds of fish taste good." ”

"Every year, before the fishing season, the world's most prosperous marine fishing countries, such as Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Russia and the European Union, meet to discuss and negotiate quotas for spring herring and cod in the Atlantic, depending on the availability of resources, and then agree on the new year's fishing," Lewis said. ”

Li Junge asked, "Is it so grand?"

Lewis said: "Yes! The annual quota of herring is more than 400,000 tons, and the cod is more than 1.2 million tons, which is a big industry of 10 billion dollars!"

Li Junge said: "This is really amazing. ”

"These two fish are based on quantity, and the highest yield value has to be bluefin tuna, which can sell for $700,000 per fish, and the highest auction price is more than $1 million," Lewis said. ”

After speaking, he sighed and said, "But it is a fish caught in Japan, and 80% of this fish is sold to Japan, and they especially like this fish." ”

Li Junge smiled: "Then you have to have money to afford it." ”

Lewis shook his head: "Actually, I don't think this fish is delicious, the problem now is that there are a lot of yearlings caught in Australia for farming, and our share is much less this year than last year because of the habitat destruction caused by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and I got a total of three shares." ”

After speaking, he said excitedly: "But this year's price is very good, if you can really catch one, the guarantee of 700,000 US dollars should be a dollar problem." ”

Li Junge smiled: "I don't dare to think about this luck, how big can this fish be?"

"The largest record is more than three meters and weighs more than 700 kilograms, but that's in recent history," Lewis said. The most recent catch record was 411.5 kilograms. ”

"But the bigger the fish, the better, the quality of the meat, the post-ship processing technology, the storage time, and the market demand are all very important, not that the bigger the more expensive. ”

After speaking, he smiled and said: "This fish, as well as swordfish and swordfish, all have a very interesting place, that is, the size of the newborn small fish is actually very small, usually a few millimeters, but when it grows up, it can become such a behemoth." ”

Li Junge shook his head: "Our freshwater fish in Lijiagou are easy to do, the fish can be artificially inseminated, it is relatively easy to save, such a big sea fish, or a big guy with a speed of nearly two hundred kilometers per hour, the kinetic energy alone is enough for the aquarium to drink a pot, is it feasible to carry out artificial breeding in a sea cage in Australia?"

"Those are the things that scientists study, and I'm a fisherman," Lewis said. ”

After speaking, he stood up and shouted at the sea and sky with a wine bottle: "I am a hardcore who wants to conquer the sea!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "I was still complaining about not having a wife in the last second, and I want to conquer the sea in the next second, eat and drink enough to go to bed early, and work tomorrow with enough energy!"

The angler couldn't sleep well the night before going fishing, and before dawn at four o'clock, the two began to come out to sort out the fishing tackle.

Compared with Lijiagou's fishing equipment, this fishing tackle is quite scary, a fishing rod that can withstand 80 pounds that is 36 kilograms of tension, a huge drum-shaped fishing wheel that can brake 40 kilograms of tension, 500 meters of 80 nylon line, the diameter of the line is as thick as one millimeter, and the hook is connected below is a few meters of steel wire front wire to prevent the line from being bitten off by big fish.

Lewis first passed the leading steel wire through several palm-sized stainless steel fish hooks, then fixed the wire with an iron ring, clamped it with a tool plier clamp, and then said to Li Junge: "Come, I'll teach you to hang the bait." ”

Take out the large squid from the refrigerator and make two small openings in the tail and abdomen of the large squid compared to the length of the hook.

Thread the hook tip from the tail, and then through the opening in the abdomen, send the entire hook handle into the belly of the big squid, and then adjust the squid to return to its previous natural state, and then lift the squid, only to see that the squid is no different from the previous one, except that there is an extra wire front wire on the tail, and a bright hook tip on the abdomen.

Li Junge said with a smile: "Your skills are okay, but this big squid alone is already very valuable in my hometown, at least twenty dollars, stewed chicken thief." ”

Lewis laughed: "Twenty dollars from us can buy a lot, this thing swims upside down in the sea, and after we hang it on the fishing line, it simulates its natural posture in the sea, luring big fish to attack." ”

Li Junge picked up the knife on the operating table: "This job is absolutely fine, leave it to me." ”

The next step was for Li Junge to bait Lewis to hang the line, and soon four poles were erected at the stern.

Lewis patted the swivel chair on the fishing position: "Go up, and when you see a rod moving, raise the rod and shake the wheel to make sure the line is straight." Most importantly, yelling 'Hell Lewis is coming!' hahahaha......"

Li Junge took out a sun hat from Lewis's cabin, put it on, and said, "OK, let's start the boat!"

The engine started again, and the Conqueror headed against the tide of the Blue Gully.

The stern of the boat turned up white waves, the four fishing lines were dragged into a diagonal line, and the squid bait was released farther and farther, Li Junge estimated that it had been placed two hundred meters away, and it was estimated that there was a vertical distance of about fifty meters from the water surface.

Li Junge sat on a hard plastic swivel chair, imagining the scene of four large squid under the water reversing backwards and arrogantly escaping along the trench at the same speed, and then in the deeper water layer, countless big eyes began to spot them, and then started, pursuit.

After a while, a violent tremor came from a rod, and Li Junge jumped up from the chair: "Da Liu!

Lewis stuck his head out of the bow of the boat: "Your rod or mine?"

Lewis uses his own rod and has a motor on the drum wheel that can be connected to the stern power supply after fishing, which can provide auxiliary traction for the angler.

The pole given to Li Junge was old-fashioned equipment, and the young man slept on a cool kang, all relying on firepower. Lewis grinned and quipped that a bullman who could pull a bow as big as the Seraph's Wings didn't need a boost machine.

Li Junge shouted: "Mine!"

Lewis smirked, "Then I don't care!" and then retracted his head back to copy the ship.

said that it didn't matter, but in fact, after adjusting the speed of the boat, Lewis still ran out and put away the rest of the poles, and then watched Li Junge fight with the big fish.
