Chapter 194: The Noble Pomfret in the Fish
The trawl net was quickly dragged up smoothly, and as Li Xiaofeng expected, the catch of this net was not much.
According to Li Yongmin's estimate, the net adds up to eight or nine thousand catties at most, less than 10,000 catties of fish.
But when they saw the catch in the nets, no one was disappointed. Because of the catch of less than 10,000 catties, more than half of them are dragons of different sizes.
Everyone knew that this was a valuable catch, so not only was everyone not disappointed, but everyone was elated.
After this net was pulled, it didn't take long for Li Xiaofeng to find another school of fish, so they followed and pulled another net.
The catch of this net is much more than that of the previous net, and it is estimated that it will add up to more than 20,000 catties.
However, because most of this net is tired of some fish with low prices such as hairtail fish, Balang fish, and You fish, the value is not as high as the previous net.
When the catch of these two nets was finished, it was almost time for dinner.
Li Xiaofeng also found a place at this time, and slowly stopped the fishing boat. And he suddenly remembered something, and was going to discuss it with a few other people later.
The dragon fish caught in the afternoon was directly put on the table in the evening, and you can eat all kinds of the freshest seafood every day, which can be regarded as a hidden benefit of the crew.
One fried dragon fish, one garlic vermicelli.
Li Xiaofeng tasted them separately, and this dragon fish was really tender in meat, smooth in taste, and very delicious to eat.
Sure enough, there is a reason why fish is expensive!
After dinner, Li Xiaofeng, Li Yonglin, Li Yongmin and Zhang Jianjun habitually gathered together again to discuss tomorrow's arrangements.
At this time, Li Xiaofeng also expressed his thoughts in the afternoon: "Dad, third uncle, Uncle Zhang, let's work hard tonight, how about a few more nets?" Tomorrow morning we are expected to leave the Crooked Strait, when we find a nearby fishing port to sell the fish and replenish some supplies. Once out of the strait, we are expected to be driving away from the coastline. ”
Due to the scarcity of fish resources in the offshore waters, the complexity of the terrain and the large number of boats encountered, it is not a good choice for fishing boats to travel inshore.
Li Yonglin and the three of them also understood this truth, so they all nodded.
It is even more common for fishing boats to dock along the coast, sometimes to replenish the various supplies on board, such as water, and sometimes to handle the catch on the fishing boats, reducing the load of the fishing boats, so that the fishing boats can easily go into battle.
After listening to Li Xiaofeng's words, Li Yonglin and the three of them all agreed.
After all, there are now more than 100 tons of fish caught on fishing boats, and fishing boats have to waste a lot of fuel money to pull so many fish.
After deciding on the next step, everyone returned to their respective positions and began to get busy.
The rising sun in the morning breaks the domination of night over the sea.
Seeing the red morning sun, Li Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he had been busy all night unconsciously.
He wasn't the only one on the boat, but everyone had been busy all night catching fish all night.
It's really just that the plan can't keep up with the change.
Originally, Li Xiaofeng's plan was just to lay a few more nets at night, catch more fish, and enter the fishing port tomorrow to sell fish.
But unexpectedly, in the early hours of the morning, they not only encountered a few schools of fish of considerable size, but also caught a net of very valuable fish.
This can't help but make everyone overjoyed, and they are instantly refreshed. No one was willing to go to sleep, so they unknowingly chased the fish all night and caught the fish all night.
Seeing this rising sun, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but shake his head to make himself more sober.
Then he rubbed his red eyes again, and said to Li Yongmin beside him: "Third uncle, you can directly arrange for someone to collect this last net!" After collecting it, we set off straight to the nearest moss harbour to sell fish! ”
Li Yongmin's eyes were also red, and he nodded after listening to Li Xiaofeng's words.
Because there were too many fish caught in this short period of time, Li Yonglin and Zhang Jianjun were both in the cabin to assist in sorting.
Although everyone worked hard all night, the results were also very brilliant.
According to Li Xiaofeng's estimates, they also pulled up at least forty or fifty tons of fish that night, although they were mainly some common ones such as hairtail, eel, and pomfret, but one of them also pulled up a very valuable catch.
It is precisely because of the catch of this net that everyone's tired spirit, as if they were beaten on the spot, and they are refreshed to catch an all-night fish.
This valuable catch is known as the first place in pomfret and the aristocratic pomfret among fish, also known as Chinese pomfret.
Pomfret belongs to the pomfret fish of the pomfret family of the order Perciformes, which are mainly distributed in the northern coast of the Indian Ocean to Japan and the South China Sea, Taiwan Strait, East China Sea and other seas, and belong to the warm water pelagic and pelagic fish in the coastal water.
The back of the pomfret is grayish-brown, the sides of the body are silvery-white, the fins are silvery-gray, the body is tall and the sides are flattened, because the fins are like the wings of a bird, they are also called eagle pomfret in Xiangjiang.
At present, there is no way to artificially breed pomfret and can only rely on fishing boats to catch it, and the catch is also very small, and sometimes it can be said that it is really difficult to find a fish at the dock.
In addition, the pomfret is big, the meat is thick, but the meat quality is not firewood, but it is very delicate, the taste is also soft and glutinous, and it has a special salty and umami taste.
Moreover, the pomfret has almost no fine spines, and even the bones are soft, so they are also very popular in the market, known as the king of pomfret and the fighter of pomfret.
In Li Xiaofeng's hometown, more than one pound of pomfret can generally be sold for one hundred and sixty-seventy-one catties, and if it is time for the New Year's holiday, it can even be sold for two or three hundred and one catties!
With such an expensive pomfret in one net, they actually pulled six or seven thousand catties in one net at that time, which is millions! How do you get people out there without getting excited?
So at that time, everyone was not sleepy in an instant, it was really like playing chicken blood, excited all night, and fishing all night!
Under Li Yongmin's arrangement, the last net was soon dragged out of the water.
The harvest of this net is also good, and the total catch of various fish should be more than 10,000 catties.
After seeing the trawl being dragged out of the water, Li Xiaofeng also began to speed up and headed towards the nearest mossy harbor.
This fishing port is much larger than the fishing port in their hometown, and it is a national first-class fishing port. Hundreds or thousands of fishing boats return to the port every day to unload their cargo, and it is said that thousands of fishing boats stay there during the fishing ban period.
