Chapter 60 The Importance of Handling Tuna

A thousand hooks of bait float above or near the yellowfin tuna, and the large and unique amount of bait quickly attracts these yellowfin tuna. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

These specially processed baits are used for tuna fishing.

Yellowfin tuna, with a keen sense of smell, began to smell the smell of these bait.

Speaking of which, many people who do not know how to do it will think that this is nonsense, and that the sense of smell of a fish is more intelligent than that of a dog? Facts have proved that the sense of smell of a fish is many times stronger than that of a dog! In his previous life, Shuichi Minamino read an article. It seems that it is salmon or salmon Shuichi Minamino forgot. Anyway, the article says why this fish can find its birthplace in the vast sea when it is migrating. Find your way home in the endless sea!

Because they can distinguish which drop of fresh water from the rivers and lakes of their hometown is out of hundreds of millions of drops of seawater. It is from this place of freshwater river where they crossed the ocean to reproduce the next generation.

It sounds a little incredible, but it's an authoritative certification.

At this point, a yellowfin tuna tentatively swam up to a bait.

The smell of the bait makes this yellowfin tuna very greedy. However, the yellowfin tuna did not bite down, but observed and teased it for a while, and then felt that there was no danger before taking a bite.

When the yellowfin tuna bit down and was about to swallow it, the barb of the hook immediately hooked the gills of the yellowfin tuna. The yellowfin tuna struggled violently. Under this struggle, the hook hooked even deeper.

"Flutter Flutter"

The yellowfin tuna began to struggle violently in the water, and it was already terrified at the moment, knowing that its life was in danger and wanted to break free and escape. But the hook is so easy to break free?

The more the yellowfin tuna struggles, the more painful it becomes, and the more it struggles, the deeper the hook becomes.

After releasing the longline, the sailors waited for more than 20 minutes and did not see any fish on the hook and felt that there were no fish nearby, so a sailor asked Nanno Shuichi: "Boss, I don't think there are any fish here, can we go back to sleep?"

At this moment, someone shouted: "Boss, I saw a fish biting the hook!"

"There's it too!"

"There are schools of fish! ”

When they heard that a fish had been baited, everyone was in high spirits.

"Because of the bait?" said Shuichi Minamino walked over.

"Boss, where you look, it's where it is!" Tanimura Ueno pointed ahead.

"See, drag it up and see what kind of fish it is. The other ones that took the bait were also picked up. "Minamino Shuichi.

"It's the boss. ”

"Boss, Kokimura also said that a fish has been hooked!" Ami Inoue ran up to Nanno Xiu in a hurry.

"Got it. ”

Soon, the first fish was dragged to the edge of the boat, and everyone cheered when it revealed its true face.

"Tuna, it's tuna!"

"It's yellowfin tuna!"

"Haha, boss, you are really a god, you even knew that there would be fish here!" A group of sailors slapped their asses at Nanno Shuichi.

"Hang up!"

The first yellowfin tuna caught was about 2 meters long and was estimated to weigh more than 100 kilograms.

As the tuna was caught on the boat, everyone got busy.

Caught tuna also needs to be treated before it can be refrigerated.

After the two-meter-long tuna was hoisted onto the deck, Minamino shouted, "Don't let it jump, so as not to cause bruising in the body!"

Shuichi Minamino knew that if the tuna was bruised, it would cause extensive muscle damage, especially in the abdomen, and that the price would be greatly reduced if damage was caused.

"The newcomer helps to lift the tuna up and hand over the tuna to the veterans!" Shuichi Minamino commanded.

Handling tuna is a technical job, and you have to be a veteran, and you can't do it with a new sailor.

Several old sailors put the tuna on the carpet, one held the eye with both hands, and the other hit the head with a hammer.

Such a simple action of tapping the head of the fish may seem simple, but it is a technical task, and tapping the head of the fish makes the tuna faint and unable to move. If you don't knock it out, jumping up will cause it to bleed.

Hitting the head of the fish is very powerful, a hammer can stun the tuna without its head being damaged, and the price will be reduced if it is damaged.

The old man Oda is one of the good hands, and he knocks one on the other to ensure that he doesn't have to hit the second time.

Cut off the tail and bleed immediately after knocking out the dizziness!

Tail cutting and bleeding is relatively simple, using a sharp knife to cut off between the 3rd and 6th reciprocal sections of the dorsal fin, and for larger fish, it is necessary to prevent the severed tail from being too thin, between the 4th and 5th segments.

There are two blood vessels in the back of the pectoral fin of the tuna, and the old man Oda used a sharp knife to separate the pectoral fin and cut the two blood vessels, and the cut edge was 5 cm deep and 4 cm long.

Old man Oda cut very well, worthy of twenty years of professional tuna handling. You must know that if the knife is cut too deeply, the blood will invade the internal flesh and cause waste.

Old man Oda severed the cephalic artery in front of the heart, and Shuichi Minamino hit a bucket of seawater and rinsed the fish with seawater, which was done to prevent the temperature of the fish from rising.

The next step is to drain the blood.

The old man Oda was able to catch him, and he cut a hole in the inner membrane of the gills of the fish, poured seawater into it with a water pipe, and drained it until there was basically no blood.

After draining the blood, Oda inserts a pin in the back of the tuna's head, an operation designed to destroy the cartilage of the brain, leaving the fish in a dead state.

When the old man Oda was busy, the other old sailors were also busy, and they were also dealing with tuna, and everyone was busy. Tuna is easy to lift, but handling it can be a bit time-consuming.

Finally, the old man Oda used a sharp knife to cut the abdomen from the tail to the pectoral fin, took out the internal organs of the fish, rinsed it with seawater, and then removed the gills, and after the gills were removed, the last process was left, which was to brush the body of the fish.

All of this can only be refrigerated, in order to ensure that the commercial fish meets the requirements of high quality and high price.

That's how every tuna is treated.

Now everyone is busy sweating profusely, and their feet are not off the ground. Shuichi Minamino, as the boss, is no exception, and he is also busy with his feet on the ground.

At this time, it was already past twelve o'clock, and no one complained, because the salary given by Shuichi Minamino was worth the fact that they worked so hard, and it was good to have work to do this year.

"Come on, everyone, if we catch a lot of yellowfin tuna, we must have a tuna whole fish feast when we go back!" Minamino Shuichi said to everyone as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Good!"

"Boss, you're so nice!"

Everyone cheered in unison.
