813. The most gratifying thing

Qin Shiou and Sha Ke rowed back to the yacht in a dinghy, and the two ice cube boxes were full of seafood.

One chest was full of fish, the other full of shellfish and conch, but no barnacles. There are many types of barnacles, the only ones that can be eaten are gooseneck barnacles, and the barnacles on humpback whales are small and cannot be eaten.

After the harvest was over and the trade was over, Qin Shiou and Sha Ke no longer threw fish segments into the water.

Several humpback whales chased the yacht for a while, and after finding that there was indeed no food falling, they unwillingly let out a 'whine' sound, and Qin Shiou injected them with some Poseidon energy, so that they were happy again and began to dive.

First, a humpback whale slapped the water with its pectoral fins, and its body rose upward, flying up from the sea like a small mountain. They are used to doing this, and their movements are calm and unhurried, and their postures are graceful and moving.

But in the end, the moment they fell into the water, the movement was a bit loud, like rolling thunder.

In fact, this is also one of their methods of predation, if there are schools of shrimp and small fish on the surface of the water, the shock wave they fall can shock the fish and shrimp to death, so that predation is naturally simple.

The yacht sailed for miles, and the people on board could still hear the humpback whales jumping up and down into the water, which was amazing.

Without the interference of humpback whales, Father Qin and others concentrated on fishing, and luckily, they encountered a bonito at the beginning, which was more than a meter long, and this is a big fish among bonito.

The strength of a big fish of more than one meter struggling in the water is amazing, and Father Qin has been working in the field all the year round, so he also has the strength of two arms, but he can't pull it up. On the contrary, the fishing line has been stretched a lot.

Qin Shiou went up to help and taught his father how to fight with the big fish: "Don't pull the fishing line directly back." At this time, the fish is frightened, and it is the time when the strength is greatest, and you should follow it to release the line. Then tell SΓΉ Nelson to sail the boat in the direction of the fish......"

"Compete with it for a while, put ten meters of line and pull it back one or two meters, so that it will take at least ten minutes, and then you will work hard to reel in the fishing line, take your time, and catch big fish in a hurry."

Father Qin smiled, immersed in the excitement of catching a fish more than one meter big, and wholeheartedly engaged in a tug-of-war competition with the bonito.

After a while, the bonito ran out of energy. Father Qin took the opportunity to make a big move and quickly pulled it up.

Qin Shiou introduced the bonito, and Qin's father suddenly realized: "This is tuna?" I've never seen it before, but it's so beautiful. ”

The body size of the bonito is also streamlined in the shape of a drop, and although it is not as good as the yellowfin tuna and even less than the bluefin tuna, it is also very beautiful after all.

Father Qin, Mario, and Father Mao are not people who live by the sea, and they are not very good at sea fishing, except that Father Qin was lucky enough to catch a one-meter-long bonito at the beginning. The last three caught small fish, such as sea bass, pollock, alfonsino and the like.

The main force of fishing is Shaq and Nelson, and the bait given to them by Qin Shiou contains the most abundant Poseidon energy, and the attraction to all kinds of big fish is simply boundless.

It was close to noon. The highlight is that a large tuna, which is nearly two meters long, is tricked and opens its mouth to bite the hook.

Shaq and Nelson immediately began to cooperate. The latter drove the boat to control the fishing rod, and after forty minutes of fighting. The fish was dragged to the side of the boat.

During this period, the fish surfaced and struggled, and after Father Qin saw it clearly, he said, "This is also a tuna, right?" But it's huge! ”

It's really big. The body length of this tuna is almost two meters long, and the difference between two-meter tuna and one-meter tuna is very large, not only in length, but also in body diameter and that kind of momentum.

Qin Shiou glanced at the fish and echoed his father: "Yes, this is also tuna, Masu tuna." ”

Father Mao smacked his lips, and Father Qin asked what was going on, after all, the former was well-informed, and he had eaten sashimi a lot of times, so he explained: "The bonito you caught just now is not very valuable, this Masu tuna is very valuable, look at this two-meter-long fish, it should be able to sell for more than 100,000 yuan." ”

The 100,000 yuan he said is RMB, which is 20,000 yuan when converted into Canadian dollars, which is indeed worth so much money, and the value of Masu tuna in the tuna genus is second only to bluefin tuna, and it is still above yellowfin tuna.

The body fat content of massu tuna is very high, and the taste is not much worse than that of bluefin tuna, which is rarer in small quantities.

In the Japanese market, many sashimi are said to be bluefin tuna, but its practical use is masu tuna, and the annual output of bluefin tuna is only that, how can it supply hundreds of millions of mouths in Japan?

The masu tuna is much more beautiful than the bonito, its upper body is a pale golden dark blue, the lower side and ventral surface are silvery-white, there are colorless cross-cutting lines arranged in colorless dots, the fins are blue-black, and the tail keel ridge is yellow, like a work of art.

After a quick bloodletting and gutting of the gills, Shaq and Nelson put the masu tuna in an ice chamber and iced it before returning it to treatment after about half an hour.

Qin Shiou set up the oven, he taught his father to grill squid, and he handled the Indian fish himself.

The fish is very lazy and may not even move after finding a host in its lifetime, so the meat is very tender and delicate, and it is a delicacy that is not inferior to that of eel.

The fish caught by ordinary fishing are generally only twenty or thirty centimeters, but the humpback whales are very long, and the largest one is nearly eighty centimeters.

Father Qin looked at it twice and shook his head, saying that there are really all kinds of things in the sea, this thing looks too weird.

Qin Shiou said with a smile: "It's true, the Japanese used to think that this fish was a monster formed by the undead who fell into the water and died out of resentment towards their companions, and the Norwegians also called it a sea monster, but after people knew that it was delicious, it became food." ”

After cleaning the internal organs of the Indian fish, Qin Shiou made it in two ways, one is to peel the fish and cut it into delicate fish strips, which should be fried and eaten, and the other is steamed, which is used to dip in soy sauce and eat.

The bonito is grilled in sections, and Shaq cuts off the belly of the masu tuna into small slices, which is eaten as sashimi.

Father Qin was indifferent to sashimi, and after taking a slice of mustard and eating it, he shook his head again and again, and said, "What's so delicious about this?" You guys eat it, I'll eat fried fish, it's delicious. ”

Mario is used to eating fish fillets, and while eating, he nodded and gave a thumbs up: "Delicious, really delicious!" ”

Qin Shiou took a skewer of grilled squid, ate and drank a sip of beer, and sat on the deck blowing the sea breeze, feeling that the small day was very comfortable.

Father Qin held a plate of fried fish and meat and grilled bonito meat, sat next to Qin Shiou and said with emotion: "Two years ago, your father couldn't even think about this day, you said that life is really wonderful, we are so lucky, the old Qin family turned over all of a sudden!" ”

Mao's father drank beer and said with a smile: "This is the ability of the little gull, and it has little to do with luck." ”

Father Qin laughed, facing the sea breeze, full of spirit! (To be continued......)
