Chapter 39 The discovery of peony shrimp

After resting for three days, Shuichi Minamino plans to go to sea again. The goal of this time is to go fishing on the other side of the island www.biquge.info.

On this day, the sky was faint, and more than 20 sailors, as well as the old man Kimura, and others came to the pier of Nemuro Fishing Port to wait for the arrival of Shuichi Minamino. This time, the old man Kimura also brought his eldest son, Kokimura. There are two fishing boats to drive, and of course there is an extra pilot. It just so happened that Kimura's old man's son, Kokimura, could also drive a fishing boat, so Shuichi Minamino hired him to work for himself.

"Ishida, Noguchi Minamiki, Kogimura, the three of you lead ten sailors to take charge of the work of that 300-ton fishing boat. Yukina Sakai and Miko Takeno are in charge of their cooking and cleaning. The rest of us all work on the fishing vessel with me. Shuichi Minamino looked at the people in front of him, and there were people distributing them.

"Yes!" replied in a loud voice.

"Get on the ship, leave the port!" Nanno Shudai waved his hand and took the lead on the Junshi. The others followed along. Currently, most of the fishing fleets are fishing around the waters around Hokkaido. Therefore, many people do not go to sea for a long time, basically about a few weeks. But this also has the advantage that you don't have to repair for a long time before you can go to sea again.

The biggest reason is that there are so many fish in the waters around Hokkaido in this era, and the fish stocks have not yet been caught in as much fish as they will in the next decade or so. Fishing boats of hundreds of tons are not affordable for every fisherman.

The sea breeze on a July morning is not very hot, but rather a little cool. This is Shuichi Minamino's third trip to sea, and he has been here for more than a month.

"Sail!" shouted Shuichi Minamino and asked the old man Kimura to drive the boat.

The whistle sounded, and the two fishing boats sailed out of the fishing port and headed in the direction of the Soya Strait, and Minamino Shuichi planned to shuttle through the Soya Strait and then reach the island country of Honano-kun, do you think we will meet the Matsumoto combined fishing team again when we go north this time? They don't seem to have returned to the fishing port, and they don't know how many fish they have caught. The old man Kimura held a cigarette in his mouth and said to Minamino as he drove the boat.

"Hell knows them, but I love meeting them again. If they hadn't returned, I think they would have fished in the waters in front of the Shiretoko Peninsula or in the islands. They have twenty fishing boats, and they certainly won't fill up so quickly. "Minamino Shuichi. If we fish under their noses again, will they faint?

"That's right. Old man Kimura nodded.

When I went out to sea, it was relatively calm, and I didn't encounter any fish worth shooting, so I spent two days comfortably.

On the third day, Shuichi Minamino found a seafood that made him greedy!

"Ding-dong...... In the northwest direction, peony shrimp was found three nautical miles away from the host, with a coordinate position of 155.2 longitude, 44.5 latitude, and a number of 1054 shrimps. ”

"It's actually the best shrimp - peony shrimp!" Nanno Shuyi couldn't help but swallow his saliva after hearing the name prompted by the system. In his previous life, Shuichi Minamino ate peony shrimp once. The shrimp meat is plump, very elastic, fresh, sweet and rich, and has a long aftertaste. To this day, he still remembers the delicious taste, which is enough to see how delicious the peony shrimp tastes.

"Last time I ate peony shrimp from the western waters of Canada, I didn't expect to meet peony shrimp from Hokkaido this time, so I was so lucky. "Shuichi Minamino wants to yell three times, I want to speak for foodies!

The best of the world's sea shrimps, known as "peony shrimp" because of its bright red color.

The body of the shrimp is reddish-brown, with striped white stripes on both sides of the shrimp head, and there are white spots on the shrimp body. Shrimp can be up to 20 or more long. This shrimp is abundant in the deep waters of British Columbia, Western Canada. There are also small quantities that are native to Hokkaido, but they are difficult to catch because they grow in the deep sea.

Looking at the information recorded in the system, Shuichi Minamino muttered: "Although this shrimp is abundant in Canada, when it comes to the taste, the peony shrimp from Hokkaido is the best!"

This has been verified by countless foodies in later generations. However, most of the food eaten by later generations was made in Canada. Because the production of peony shrimp in Hokkaido is too small, it is all consumed locally and there is no possibility of export. Therefore, if you want to eat the most delicious peony shrimp, you have to come to Hokkaido in person.

"Let's see. "Shuichi Minamino cut his vision into the place of peony shrimp three nautical miles away.

Soon, Shuichi Minamino saw a slightly deeper deep-sea area three nautical miles away, and at the bottom of the sea, he really saw those red peony shrimp.

"It's a bit hard to catch!" Nanno saw that the depth of this sea area had reached a depth of three or four hundred meters, and there was also a lot of coral sea, reefs, and some seaweeds on the bottom of the sea. It is almost difficult to catch fish with nets. It is more time-consuming to catch shrimp with a shrimp trap.

These shrimp are not in the shallows, so it is a real headache to catch.

"Would love to eat, but don't want to waste time here. It's really impossible to have both fish and bear's paws. Shuichi Minamino said with some regret. His main task is to fish first. If it were easy to catch peony shrimp, he would be willing to catch some and try them. But now the problem is that these peony shrimp are a bit difficult to catch.

"Forget it, give up first, and talk about it later when you have the chance. Anyway, I'm here in Hokkaido, so I can eat whenever I want. Shuichi Minamino comforted himself.

In fact, he really wants to eat, as a foodie, how can he not be greedy when he sees something delicious?

"When it's time to get some on the way back. ”

In the end, Shuichi Minamino reluctantly gave up and continued to head north.

Gradually, it got closer and closer to the Soya Strait. However, Shuichi Minamino did not encounter the Matsumoto Combined Fishing Team. I don't know if they're still fishing for salmon in this area.

"Boss, we have another day to get to the Soya Strait. "Kimura to Minamino Shuichi.

"Yes, I see. ”

"Shall we look for fish in the area in front of the Shiretoko Peninsula?" asked the old man Kimura, who had caught a lot of salmon here last time, so he thought there should be a lot of fish here.

"Okay, stay here for a day or two and then go to the island sea. "Minamino Shuichi. He thinks there should still be a school of salmon in this area. Last time, if the fishing boat wasn't full, he would have continued to fish.

In fact, Minamino Shuichi's guess was right, the salmon migration time is several months in a row, and there are always schools of fish that arrive one after another, and it is impossible for all of them to arrive here in a short period of time.

You might even be able to meet schools of salmon, and maybe even the Matsumoto fishing team!
