The United States is definitely a country rich in natural resources, not to mention its vast land and abundant resources, but its many marine aquatic products are absolutely enviable. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
And many of these specialties, when it comes to it, make people's mouths water, not enough, what are their seafood delicacies?
First, steamed blue crab, steamed blue crab is sweet and tender, delicious and delicious.
Second, crispy oyster chunks, oyster chunks fried from fresh oysters, served with onions, chili, garlic and bread, make a delicious oyster chunk burger; At the same time, it is also appetizing to eat with a glass of beer.
The third is the sea urchin, although it doesn't look very good, yellow like a lump of soaring, but it tastes really delicious.
The sea urchin in the North American sea is the world's top sea urchin, especially the sea urchin produced in cold waters, which is fat, large, sweet, thick and meaty, rich and delicious in taste, and smooth in texture.
"Why are you suddenly so attentive today?" Even eating and drinking, it was another big meal, and after eating, Deng Chuge asked.
"We're going to sail back next, so naturally we're going to entertain you once!" Mo Xie chuckled.
"It can't be that simple, right?" Chu Tian Yi.
Mo Xie rolled his eyes and said, "After catching squid, we will log in and fly back to China, this is the last meal, okay?" ”
"You're coming with us, too?" Deng Chuge looked at Mo Xie Dao suspiciously.
Mo Xie said: "Of course, I am about to start school, so naturally I want to return to China with you!" ”
Hearing Mo Xie say this, Deng Chuge and Chu Tian were all speechless, they came out to find excitement, how did it become a food trip?
However, when they heard that Mo Ye was also going back, they couldn't help it.
Of course, Mo Xie was also helpless, he originally wanted to salvage the shipwreck at the end, but he didn't expect a typhoon to blow there recently, which is not much seen in the northern seas, and after entering the South Pacific, this climate is not normal.
After experiencing a storm, Mo Xie thought that at this time, the eastern Pacific region happened to be the rainy season, which could be regarded as Mo Ye's mistake.
Of course, compared to the harvest of this trip, this mistake is nothing at all.
There was no way, Mo Xie could only make other plans, but at this time, he didn't think about going to school directly, but thought about going home for a while.
It's been a year since he came out, and he's really homesick, and besides, there's still a mess of things waiting for him to deal with at home!
Walking onto the deck, Mo Ye looked at the sun in the west, feeling that time was passing so fast.
Although he was very hard-mouthed in front of Zhang Xiushui, he really had to face Li Shengnan, but Mo Xie began to be apprehensive.
However, thinking about these things now can only be in vain, so Mo Xie shook his head and drove all of these out of his head.
"Ready, we're going to start squid fishing!" At this time, Chen Erlei walked over and said.
Chen Erlei has been on the other three boats recently, and he came here at this time because he also knew that Mo Xie was about to leave.
Lin Yumin was most excited at this time, he came on the boat to catch squid, but in the past two months, he has no use, and today he can finally show his skills.
The four boats prepared by Mo Xie were actually modified very simply, that is, they were all equipped with some fish-attracting lights, and the warehouse was converted into cold storage.
What Mo Xie wants is also the fish-attracting function of the ship's fish-attracting lights, and as for the crew fishing for squid, forget it, after all, their speed is too slow.
The big squid in South America is not at all different from the small squid in China, this kind of big squid is really big, almost a dozen pounds in weight, such a big squid, if you are not a skilled hand, it is very difficult to catch one.
Of course, if you use a lure rod and a lure line, that's another story, but the crew on board is not treated like a fishing rod.
Therefore, the Lu Ya rod can only be used by Mo Ye, Deng Chuge and Chu Tianyi.
Due to the need for high frequency throwing and repeated pumping of the rod, it is determined that the use of squid rods is very skillful, and the squid rod should have the characteristics of "light, hard and fine".
"The bait used to fish for squid is actually fake shrimp, don't all fish like meat? How can it be a fake shrimp? After getting the fishing tackle, Deng Chuge said with a fuss.
Lin Yumin said with a smile: "This fake shrimp is actually a wooden shrimp, and the wooden shrimp is just to lure the squid to the bait, the most important fishing method." ”
Saying that, he began to teach Deng Chuge how to fish for squid, most of the ordinary people use jump fishing techniques, in fact, the jump fishing technique is to let the fake shrimp in the water, just like the real shrimp have a sense of beating, of course, this is Mo Ye's understanding, its main purpose is to let the fake shrimp move, so as to attract big squid to come to hunt.
As long as the big squid bites the fake shrimp, it can usually be lifted up.
Of course, there is skill to this, but with the help of good fishing tackle, skill is not so important.
The first time Deng Chuge took the bait, he kept swinging there, and it really looked like that, but he didn't take the bait for a long time.
Seeing his excited appearance, Mo Xie could only smile helplessly, because the role of the fish trap lamp had not yet been reflected at this time, so there were no big squid around the steamer, so no matter how much he stirred up the bait, he didn't look at catching the big squid.
However, Lin Yumin has a lot of experience, so under his care, he quickly asked Deng Chuge to start waiting patiently, so that when the fish trapping lamp came into play and attracted a large group of squid, he really let him catch a big squid.
"There are squid in the country, right? Why do you have to come here to fish? At this time, Chu Tianyi asked.
"The thick squid fillets sold in the market, and the shredded squid that you eat, are made from the squid caught here, and the smaller squid used at the barbecue stall is caught in Argentina." Lin Yumin said.
"The main production area of big squid is in Peruvian waters, a 400-500 horsepower fishing boat to catch squid, can sell 3 million yuan a year, deducting 60% of the cost of ocean fishing, the income is still very considerable, so the number of fishing boats is increasing year by year, last year the annual domestic squid catch was as high as 400,000 tons, why do you say come here?" Lin Yumin said.
"I've heard that squid isn't worth much!" Deng Chuge said.
"It's worthless!" Mo Xie looked at the sea with joy, and at this time, the big squid around him was gathering more and more, which was the reason for coming here.
"It's not worth much if it's less, but what about more? The size of the squid is different in different places, the weight of the small squid caught in China is 200-300 grams, and the large squid is produced in South America, and each of the big ones is more than five kilograms! ”
The large squid is larger, the weight of the single body can reach 10 catties, and some large squid has a wall thickness of up to 6 centimeters, and the general catch place is the high sea near Peru in South America.
"Zhoushan's distant-water fishing industry is more developed, there are 300-400 high-horsepower distant-water fishing vessels, because the number of boats is larger, so the harvest is more, the harvest is lower than the price of local squid, this year's squid price compared with last year is indeed a lot lower, mainly because of the large catch, but the European and American market demand has not increased accordingly."
In fact, not only the price of South American squid has fallen, but also the price of local squid in China, with the wholesale price of squid at domestic terminals being 6-8 yuan/catty, compared with 10-11 yuan/catty last year.
"Not only has the price fallen, but the market sales have not been able to go up."
Lin Yumin said: "The price of South American squid has fallen since last year, and the wholesale price of squid was as high as 10,000 yuan/ton a few years ago, and it has fallen to 4,000-5,000 yuan/ton this year. ”
Deng Chuge said in his heart: "The added value of the squid export processing industry is low, and at present, the domestic processing of cod, mackerel, Alaskan snow crab and other products is the mainstay. ”
"It's still too expensive to go to sea!" Finally, Mo Evil Dao.
"This can't be helped, who makes our country's sea areas not have so many products!" Deng Chuge said.
"Our awareness of marine protection is still too light, too light, too light, and many countries have long restricted the size of fishing nets, which we didn't have before! The net buckle is very dense, and the big caviar and fish grandchildren in the market are caught and sold.
Now there is a fishing ban period, there was no in the past, in South America to pull lobsters, I saw foreigners throw all the crayfish caught back into the sea, their fishing nets also have turtle arresters, turtles come in and can't get down the bottom of the net, they run away from the turtle arresters, we don't. ”
Lin Yumin is really well-informed, and he sighs every time that we are even inferior to some African countries in this regard.
"Sierra Leone, Dakar, Ghana, Benin, Cameroon, Abyan, Nigeria...... I have been in Africa for 6 years, and they all have this idea in their heads, saying that this can't be done, that can't be touched, that fish are dead, and the children in the future will not have to eat, and the inspection ship will come out in the middle of the night to check, as long as you find the size of your net, you will be punished, without mercy, and the law enforcement is very strict. ”
"In fact, the catch is still getting less and less day by day, squid fishing in Argentina and Peru, a few years ago, you didn't have to anchor a week, you didn't have time to fish in one place, and now you have to anchor several times a day to find fish, okay, let's not talk about it, the squid school is coming."
With Lin Yumin's order, the four boats were all busy, and seeing the hot scene, Deng Chuge and Chu Tianyi were obviously shocked.
And such a scene, Mo Ye and Chen Erlei have seen it a long time ago, so although they feel enthusiastic, they are just watching.
In the next week or so, it was very easy for Mo Xie and the others to arrive, but the crew on the ship was too hard.
Watching them get up early and work late every day, Deng Chuge and Chu Tianyi exclaimed every time that capitalists are not things, of course, they are not capitalists here, and the only capitalists are Mo Xie.
Looking at this situation, Mo Ye could only smile bitterly, he was okay here, and when he went to other squid fishing boats, the life of the crew was even harder, and there was no security.
There are often people who have curiosity and yearning for the life of ocean-going fishermen, which seems to be a kind of wild, free, fierce, romantic mixed lifestyle, for such an imagination, the real crew can only smile bitterly.
