Liu Danqing hurriedly put down the water pipe in his hand, went over to hold the fishing rod, and felt the power coming.

It's a big fish again.

Come on, fight.

He was once again up against the big fish.

It took nearly an hour for another pull, and a bluefin tuna, which was about the same as the one just now, was pulled up.

"What a good place!" Liu Danqing sighed secretly: "Fishing boats and trawlers disdain to come here to fish, and ordinary tuna fishing boats are not capable of fishing here, it is indeed cheap for me, sorry Hayes, take your territory." ”

After the second fish began to bleed, Liu Danqing handed the water pipe to Xiao Weiwei and asked her to extend the water pipe into the inner membrane of the fish's gills and squeeze out the blood in the tuna's body with seawater.

And he continued to handle the first fish of the day, and then put it thirty centimeters next to the fish of yesterday, and also surrounded it with ice cubes.

After getting the fish right, he carefully cracked the ice on the fish from yesterday and re-covered it with crushed ice to prevent the ice from freezing and damaging the quality of the fish.

When he got to the top, old Tony was already helping to take the fish offal, and after watching Xiao Weiwei put the fish blood away, he wanted to do it with a knife, but he didn't dare to help.

Although he hadn't processed tuna for ten years, Tony Sr. still had a steady hand and a neat movement, cutting the fish belly from the chrysanthemum to the pectoral fin, all in one go, and there was no wavy knife edge.

By the time Liu Danqing came up, he had already taken out all the internal organs and black membrane of the fish, and washed the belly of the fish with seawater.

"Captain Tony, thank you. After Liu Danqing came up, he began to take over the work behind.

After all, Tony was the captain they hired to handle the tuna, and the tuna was not included in the fee.

One morning, they caught two large bluefin tuna, but compared to yesterday's one, they lost a lot of weight, and the big fish was a complete foodie, so they were the first to take the bait.

It's a shame that it hasn't been around Gloucester for a long time, otherwise it would have been sent to the table a long time ago, and it wouldn't have grown so big.

The third fish was hooked at about one o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Danqing felt it, and felt that the strength was much smaller than the previous three, so he wanted Xing Dawei to enjoy it.

However, after this was Hou, Xing Dawei was reluctant to pull the fish, for fear that his level was not enough, so he let the fish run away.

"It's okay, Dawei, this fish shouldn't be big, it's running away, and I'm next to it, I'll help if I feel that the situation is wrong." ”

Xing Dawei actually wanted to try bluefin tuna fishing very much, so in the end, he didn't resist the temptation, stepped forward to take Liu Danqing's place, and stood next to the fishing rod.

But I didn't feel much when I saw Liu Danqing pulling fish, and after Xing Dawei got started, the gap was shown when the two were compared.

It's not just the speed and rhythm when pulling the fish, but the rhythm is more than a notch worse.

It took more than an hour, and with the cooperation of Liu Danqing to operate the fishing boat, Xing Dawei finally pulled the fish out of the water.

The big fish bobbed on the surface of the water, flicked its tail again, and burrowed into the water.

But the flickering yellow already indicates its identity.

"Yellowfin tuna, when did this guy get in?" Liu Danqing said with a smile as he looked at the water.

Then he took advantage of Xing Dawei's continued to pull fish, explaining: "Yellowfin tuna is the most abundant tuna, and it is also a kind of tuna that is relatively easy to catch off the coast of China. ”

"Yellowfin tuna belongs to the subgenus Neotuna, which belongs to the second camp of the genus Tuna, along with long-loin tuna and blackfin tuna. ”

"In this camp, the largest is the yellowfin tuna, which can grow to more than 3 meters long and weigh more than 200 kilograms, and the other two, the long-loin tuna is about one meter in size, while the blackfin tuna is even smaller. ”

"The third camp is the genus bonito in the tuna family, mainly bonito, also known as bomb fish, speaking of bonito may not be familiar to many people, but when it comes to one of their finished products: bonito, many people may know that this food is very popular in Asia, bonito noodles, oden and so on are used to enhance freshness. Whereas, Omega makes more of them into cans. ”

"As for the first camp, it is the tuna subgenus, and the prices are from high to low, which are Pacific bluefin tuna, Atlantic bluefin tuna, massu tuna, bigeye tuna, and albacore. ”

"Most of the sashimi and nigirdles we eat at sushi restaurants are yellowfin tuna and albacore, but we rarely eat bluefin tuna. But that's not to say yellowfin tuna isn't tasty. ”

Liu Danqing pointed to the yellowfin tuna that was pulled closer and said: "For example, this yellowfin tuna about one meter and a half long, its most expensive part, the frost and fat in the belly is used to make sashimi, which is an excellent ingredient, and the frost and fat of the three bluefin tuna we caught are more suitable for making the best hand grip in sushi." ”

Throwing a spear and stabbing the fish, Liu Danqing helped pull the yellowfin tuna to the side of the boat, and Tony hooked the tail with a hook and put a rope on it.

Watching the tuna being slowly pulled up, Liu Danqing said: "Having said so much, in fact, I just want to say that we are going to eat the yellowfin tuna." In the absence of sushi rice, this yellowfin tuna was more suitable for us to enjoy on the boat than those three bluefins. ”

"Yay!" Hearing Liu Danqing's words, Xiao Weiwei and the chess pieces cheered together.

"It's a waste to finally be able to eat tuna, and I've caught several of them, and I've given them all to others. Xiao Weiwei said with a smile.

"Well, waste. The pawn nodded and added.

As for the small tuna seventy or eighty centimeters long that they ate before, they directly ignored it.

It's just a little bit big, and it's embarrassing to call it tuna.

The fish was pulled onto the boat and was checked as usual.

The body length is 166 centimeters and the weight is 176 pounds, which is a little worse, and the height is equal to the weight.

Since he eats it by himself, then Liu Danqing doesn't have to be so troublesome, first remove all the fish scales. The color of the tuna is not actually the color of the skin, but the scales, and when the round scales are scraped off, the whole tuna has turned a silver-gray color.

Then they cut off the fish head and put it aside, the last time they ate the tuna head, they found it average.

However, this time the fish head is relatively large, Liu Danqing is ready to make the fish head separately and try the taste, after all, the bigger the fish head, the better it is.

After putting the entrails in a plastic bag, he took the flesh off the fish into four pieces and put them in the freezer, and then collected the skin and put it in the corner of the freezer.

Let the rest of the people take care of the tuna, Liu Danqing took the fish head to the kitchen and began to cook the fish head, which weighed about twenty or thirty pounds.

First, remove the meat around the pectoral fins, which are relatively fatty and too greasy to put in the soup. Liu Danqing thought about it, directly marinated them with fish eyes, and put them in the old oven.

After chopping the rest of the fish head, Liu Danqing picked out the thick part of the fish skin and prepared it for stir-frying, while the rest was used to make soup.

I don't know whether to say it good or not, when Liu Danqing was cooking, the deck was quiet, and no big fish took the bait to disturb Liu Danqing.

So, one hour later, they started eating.

"The fish head is eaten three times, roasted, stewed, and stir-fried, and everyone eats. Liu Danqing shouted.

Grilled fish, grilled fish eyes, fish head stewed with potatoes, chickpea dried fish head stir-fried.

When old Tony went to the kitchen to cook, he saw two grilled fish eyes and almost ran away, and then loaded some fish head stewed potatoes and chickpea dried fish head to go to the cockpit, or chickpeas seemed to be more in line with Tony's taste, after tasting a few, he deliberately loaded some more, and did not forget to give Liu Danqing a thumbs up: "GOOD!"

Your sister, as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw two fist-sized eyeballs on the table facing her, not to mention Lao Mi, even Sadako had to retract into the TV in fright.

However, the fish eyes look terrifying, and it is indeed very popular.

Especially the milky white eye ointment, which is fragrant and smooth, is really the object of competition for foodies.

Especially the chess pieces, don't look at the petite and cute, but she is from Xiangjiang, in Xiangjiang, a fish is served on the table, and the first thing to be eaten is often the fish eye.

So she was the first to attack the fish's eyes.

"Now there is a kind of tuna eye oil imported from Fusang on the market in Xiangjiang, which is super expensive and super easy to sell, and is very popular with wealthy people, and it is in short supply every time, and it is difficult for me to grab it. ”

As she spoke, she familiarly opened the fish's eyes and dug a spoonful of milky white meat fat behind the eyeball bubbles.

Liu Danchao gave her a thumbs up, this girl is from Xiangjiang, and the best place for big fish eyes is those meat fats, as well as a soft tendon behind the eyeballs.

"The chess pieces are so violent, the eyeballs are seeping when they see it, and they are the first to strike. ”

"Good thing, it seems that the chess pieces are real foodies. ”

"Could it be that eating fish eyeballs can strengthen your lungs?"

"Oh my God, the women of China are so terrible, they not only eat internal organs, but also eat eyes. ”

The audience couldn't help but marvel or ridicule, while the chess pieces contracted a fish eyeball, and the other was given to Xiao Weiwei, who was also very violent, and dragged it directly in front of her to eat.

Liu Danqing and Xing Dawei took the pectoral fin of a tuna and gnawed it, the meat on it was very fatty, and after being grilled, it was fragrant.

"Well, Master Qing, this is shark fin, delicious, fat but not greasy, full of fragrance, my mouth is stupid, I just say so much, delicious, good craftsmanship. Xing Dawei nibbled on the fish and praised.

Liu Danqing sighed at the root of the fin and introduced: "The best thing to eat is here, it is full of collagen, it is fragrant and smooth after baking, and there is a little sticky teeth, uh, a bit like the skin of roasted pig's trotters, but it is tougher and more fragrant." ”

Needless to say, the combat effectiveness of several people is a big fish head, and they eat cleanly.

In the afternoon, I continued to be idle, until the evening, when a fish was hooked, pulled up and looked, it was a big blue shark again, these guys are really everywhere, what about the good near danger animals?
