822. Treasures of the South Atlantic

As night falls, the Atlantic breeze begins to pick up, and in September Newfoundland is already high and crisp, while in the South Atlantic, the breeze is still so warm that many of the fishermen are shirtless.

Eating stones from the mountains and drinking salt water from the sea, he caught silver pomfret, which the fishermen ate that night, and two golden mackerel, which Zack had stewed, and the pot was grunting vigorously, and the fragrance came out.

For silver pomfret, Qin Shiou's familiar practice is to splash oil and stew, and Zach is an old chef, so he chose a relatively rare method, that is, salad silver pomfret.

The fishermen selected more than 10 of the fattest fish according to Zack's instructions, removed the gills, scales, and internal organs, washed them, and then cut them into sections and marinated them with refined salt, chicken essence, cooking wine, green onions, and ginger.

Qin Shiou said curiously: "Hey, it turns out that Western food also uses cooking wine and green onions, ginger and garlic to make fish?" Isn't that rare? ”

Zach smiled sheepishly, "No, Captain, the main thing is that I see that you like to eat fish that is marinated like this, so I did it because I have to take care of your taste." ”

"Oh, what a loud sycophant." Shaq teased with a laugh, and the others burst out laughing.

Zach looked at Shaq and pouted, and said, "Hey, man, don't talk about it, if you give me a salary of six thousand yuan a month, then I will definitely cook for you every day, and if you want to eat shit, I'll make fried shit......"

"Damn you, you only ate fried shit." Shaq said.

Zach shrugged and said, "Okay, that's salad shit, but then your taste is really weird, does salad dressing taste good with shit?" ”

The fishermen laughed again, and the bull whistled at Shaq and laughed, "Shaq boss." You've been tricked! ”

Shaq tosses a slice of silver pomfret at Zack, and the two of them fight on deck.

The angry bag grinned and put away the marinated fish pieces. Take it to the galley compartment and start doing it.

Qin Shiou stood at the door and asked, "Will you do it too?" ”

The gas bag skillfully heated the oil pan and said with a smile: "Of course." BOSS, of course. When I was in the army, I had to hand over the logistics to me, and I had to do the things that everyone didn't like. ”

Qin Shiou likes this middle-aged soldier very much, although he is not young, but he has a very young mentality, he always smiles and grins, and he never says much when someone calls him for help. Would definitely help.

After the oil is boiled, the fish pieces are dipped in breadcrumbs and put in a pan, then the fish is fried and then taken out, mixed with salad dressing, and the fish pieces are mixed.

Qin Shiou was speechless when he saw it, this dish is really simple, it is not as complicated as his stewed silver pomfret.

However, after eating a piece, Qin Shiou nodded with satisfaction, the taste was very good, and the silver pomfret meat was delicious and tender. The fish pieces are very crispy and fragrant when fried in oil, and with different flavors of salad dressings, it is still very good to eat.

The stewed mackerel comes out of the pot, and the fishermen each hold a lunch box and put the fish meat and fish pieces on it. Add in the roast beef brought from the island and a cold beer for one person, and a satisfying dinner is out.

Shaq counted the account as he ate. The wholesale price of silver pomfret is about five or six Canadian dollars a pound, and Newfoundland can be more expensive. Because the Atlantic Ocean doesn't produce this fish, the western Pacific and Indian Oceans produce it.

Such. More than five tons of silver pomfret can also be credited with sixty or seventy thousand quick money.

However, the fishermen were not satisfied, and they could sell more than 100,000 yuan if they caught a bluefin tuna, and they rushed all the way to this sea area, not for 60,000 or 70,000 yuan, not even enough for oil, let alone labor costs.

Qin Shiou has no other plans, why should these fish be brought back to Newfoundland for wholesale? Miami is not far from Bermuda, so wouldn't he just send it to Butler?

Because the silver pomfret is full of meat, few bone spurs, and delicious meat, it has been overcaught a few years ago, but now the number has been greatly reduced, and the value of single sales in the seafood market has increased significantly, and in some places, it has become a high-quality seafood treasure.

If it is retailed, then it is no problem for this batch of silver pomfret to sell for 200,000 yuan, this is the power of channels, and there are no channels that can only be sold cheaply.

The angry bag ate fried fish and drank beer and laughed to himself, and the bull next to him moved his butt and said, "Man, don't laugh all of a sudden, this seems like a madman, it's too scary, God, it's too scary!" ”

The angry bag grinned: "I'm smiling happily, can't I?" ”

"Why are you still smiling happily?"

The taciturn trigger put down the lunch box and said: "For you, such a dinner is very ordinary, but for us, with a high salary, we can also blow the sea breeze to eat seafood and drink beer, and we don't have to worry about the cold arrows released in the dark, that is happiness." ”

The gas bag raised the wine bottle and said loudly: "Yes, guys, this is a happy life, come on, let's toast to happiness!" ”

The fishermen shouted toasts and poured beer into their mouths with their heads held high.

Shaq arranged for the fishermen to keep vigil, and the bull took the men to clean up the fishing rods hanging from the stern of the boat, and there was no one to keep watch at night, so there was no need for the big fish to bite and take the rods away, so it was not necessary to put them away now.

As he was putting away the fishing rod, the bull suddenly cried out in amazement: "Hey, God, there's such a thing?!" ”

Qin Shiou didn't care about it, the bull guy liked to be surprised, but after the other fishermen came over to take a look, they also exclaimed, which aroused his curiosity and walked over to take a look.

The bull carried a small fish less than 20 centimeters in his hand, which was a bit like a hairtail, with a long, flattened body, tapering from head to tail, a rounded belly, and a long upper jaw that exceeded the base of the pectoral fins.

On the whole, this fish resembles a saber, especially the tail fin, and the sharp knife shape is particularly obvious. Its head and back are light blue, its sides are yellow, its belly is white, and its fins are beige.

Qin Shiou knew what this was at a glance, there were a lot of this kind of fish living in the sargassum around the shipwreck, he had encountered it on the bottom of the sea just now, because the fish were too small and the school of fish was not big, so he didn't care.

Now it seems that this fish seems a little strange, otherwise the fishermen would not be so excited when they see it, so he wanted to ask the identity of this fish, but he did not need to speak, and the air bag who was not familiar with the fishery had already helped him ask: "What is this little fish?" ”

Shaq laughed, "This is the pearl of the Atlantic, man, it's a big one, it's a very precious fish." ”

"What the hell?"

"Florida swordfish!"

As soon as he heard the name 'knife fish', Qin Shiou's heart moved and asked, "Knife fish?" Does this fish grow in the river and the sea? ”

The river grows in the sea is a Newfoundland fishing jargon that refers to fish that migrate to freshwater to spawn but eventually return to the ocean to hunt and grow, such as salmon.

The reason why I asked this is because Qin Shiou thought of another very famous fish: the Yangtze River saury.

He vaguely remembered that the scientific name of the Yangtze River saury seemed to be the swordfish. (To be continued......)
