Chapter 16: Moray Eel [Ask for Recommendation, Collect]
The conger eel caught by Zhou Sheng is the largest species of stone eel, and it is also a particularly delicious species.
This stone eel has a large head, a thick neck, and a relatively short body. Of similar species of stone eels, the largest Chen Yuan has ever seen is eighty or ninety catties.
Stone eels of about 20 catties should be relatively rare in the offshore area, but in the open sea where resources are relatively abundant, they are often there.
Wang Peng directly stunned Lao Tie, gave two thumbs up, and shouted 666......
Wang Peng just saw that the vitality of the stone eel is very good. Such a big tabby eel was caught by Zhou Sheng with his bare hands......
Lin Xinhai used to often tell him about Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng.
It is said that Chen Yuan is very good at finding fish, and when he is off the coast of Chile, the Antarctic waters, and the South Pacific, Chen Yuan can often find schools of fish.
And Zhou Sheng, he is particularly good at diving.
This time I have seen Zhou Sheng's skills. Of course, Chen Yuan is also very powerful......
Being able to hold your breath underwater for eight minutes is not something that ordinary people can do.
"Give me a net." Chen Yuan said: "There are some conch conch below, I'll pick some up." ”
Wang Peng took the net bag and speargun: "Here." ”
"Do you want to come down and play." Chen Yuan said to Wang Peng.
"I'm not good at water...... Four or five meters deep is okay, seven or eight meters deep. Wang Peng shook his head.
"There are skills in diving, and those skills need to be trained. At most, I practiced for more than ten days, and it was easy to dive more than ten meters,......," Zhou Sheng said.
"I'll practice later." Wang Peng said.
"I'm going down." Chen Yuan took a few big breaths, then took a deep breath and dived.
Zhou Sheng then followed.
There are coral reefs here, and there are still plenty of fish. But now it's daytime, and the fish are too active, and I don't see any big fish......
This time, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng were not separated, and looked for the conch together.
"Coo-goo-goo-goo-go......o" Zhou Sheng found a big conch and was so happy that he blew bubbles.
Chen Yuan gave him a thumbs up, crossed his hands and spread them out...... Zhou Sheng made a gesture of understanding, and the two spread out for a distance and continued to search.
There are a lot of conch snails here, and you can find four or five conch snails after a seven or eight minute dive.
The cracks of the coral reefs and rocks on the bottom of the sea are hidden groupers, but they are very small, basically under half a catty.
On the fifth dive, Zhou Sheng thought the safety rope was too troublesome and untied the rope buckle.
Chen Yuan unbuckled the rope and went over to call Zhou Sheng to return to the fishing boat.
After diving for almost an hour, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng picked up a total of forty or fifty conchs, and Zhou Sheng also caught a grouper of seven or eight taels. Chen Yuan caught another lobster, a little more than half a catty.
Chen Yuan encountered a lot of lobsters below, but they were not big and did not catch them.
It wasn't early, Chen Yuan climbed into the fishing boat and pulled Zhou Sheng.
"It's so miserable, I picked up some conch." Zhou Sheng poured out the conch, and the grouper was kept in the water tank.
Lin Xinhai pulled the conch that Chen Yuan and they picked up: "Today's harvest is good." In particular, the stone eel you caught is worth the fuel bill for the day. ”
"Stone eels are so valuable?" Zhou Shengdao.
"Living, big, expensive." Lin Xinhai said: "Tiger striped stone eel, the small one costs dozens of yuan and 1 catty, and the big one costs more than 100 yuan." ”
Not all stone eels are expensive, depending on the species. Those long, thin stone eels with many bones and spines are very cheap.
The stone eel caught by Zhou Sheng has a lot of meat, no thorns, and thick skin...... It belongs to the precious breed.
Chen Yuan packed the conch: "We should bring a pot out, so that we can cook the conch at sea." ”
"Next time I come out and bring a pot......," Wang Peng said.
"Are you going back?" Lin Xinhai said: "Today's harvest is good. If you go back later, if the moray eel dies, it will be worthless. ”
"Let's take a shower and rest for a while." Chen Yuan said: "Wait until it's dark and then go down to see ......"
"We're looking for fish." Zhou Sheng said: "When it gets dark, let's go back for a walk." ”
It takes dozens of kilometers to go out and pay for fuel back and forth...... It's about 1,400 yuan.
The moray eel that Zhou Sheng caught was worth more than 2,000. That moray eel is worth the oil money, and there is still money to be made.
The yacht has a toilet and shower, Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng took a shower and came out to eat to replenish their strength.
Normally, it's best not to eat for a few hours before diving.
However, at night, they did not prepare for the depths, so they roughly explored the situation in this sea area.
Filling their stomachs, several people came out with mats and lay on the foredeck.
The foredeck is much narrower than the aft deck. It's nice to lie down and watch the sunset.
The sunrise and sunset over the sea are different every day, and you never get tired of seeing them.
The sun was gone, and the sky burned red. The eastern sky, on the other hand, was a black buzz......
The yachts around the island, dinghies, do not know when they have left. This sheltered bay, now Chen Yuan their fishing boat.
Slowly, it got dark.
Chen Yuan helped collect the anchor, and Lin Xinhai launched a fishing boat......
Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng guarded the fish scouting monitor outside. This sea area is more than 100 square kilometers, with an average water depth of more than 20 meters.
The fishing boat ran here for more than three hours before returning to the fishing port.
In the reef waters of the archipelago, they found big fish, but the density was too low, so they gave up. After all, it is a fishing moratorium, and the fish caught on a trip to the sea are enough for oil, and it is almost the same.
It was late when I returned, and at this point in time, the owner of the fishing raft that collected the fish was usually asleep. Today, the fishing row is rising, Lin Xinhai said: "Do you sell moray eels? ”
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan......
Chen Yuan said, "Keep it and eat it." Little sister, they're coming. ”
"Hmm." Zhou Sheng nodded: "The grouper is sold." ”
Lin Xinhai leaned the fishing boat towards the fishing row and shouted, "Ah Tao." ”
"Hey......" Wei Tao walked over with a smile on his face and said, "What good goods did you catch today?" ”
"A few small groupers, two green shrimps." Lin Xinhai said: "All of them were caught with their bare hands, they were not injured, and they could be raised." ”
Wei Tao jumped onto the boat and saw the moray eel in the box first: "Hey, such a big moray eel, how much is 1 catty." ”
The more expensive moray eel species are large in size, which belongs to the seller's market, and the seller's offer depends on whether the buyer can accept it.
"This moray eel is taken home to eat for yourself, not for sale." Lin Xinhai said: "Look at lobsters and groupers. ”
"What moray eel?" The boss who was stocking at the fishing raft came over and asked.
"Tiger stone eel." Wei Tao said and introduced: "This is the boss from Shenzhen, Brother Wen, Luo Wen...... This is Brother Hai, Lin Xinhai. ”
"Brother Wen."
"Brother Hai......" the two said with a smile.
Rowan came up and looked at the stone eels in the box. This tabby stone eel, also known as the tiger eel, is usually large near reefs in the open sea.
It is said that it is rare, but for ordinary people and ordinary fishermen, there are many good goods that a seafood merchant like him has seen, but this kind of large tabby stone eel is mostly chilled......
He hadn't seen a few live tabby stone eels, all of which were caught by placing hooks on reefs in the open sea, and even if they were still alive, they wouldn't live long. It's like deep-sea grouper fishing.
"How about selling me this stone eel?" Rowan was still very energetic when he saw the moray eel, and said, "I'll give two hundred." ”
Zhou Sheng looked at Chen Yuan......
Chen Yuan looked at Lin Xinhai.
Lin Xinhai said: "Sell it." "As a fisherman, the priority is to make money.
Two hundred yuan and 1 catty, this price is very high.
If it is sold to Wei Tao, it will be about 130 yuan at most. Wei Tao is a fishing row owner, and more often than not, a second-hand fishmonger......
Selling fish here is cheaper and more convenient.
After weighing, the stone eel weighed 18.9 catties, two hundred yuan per catty...... That's 3,780 yuan.
There are also three groupers, all of which are a little more than half a catty, 120 yuan.
Two large green shrimp were bought for 320 yuan.
"Hey...... Well, we're at the pier...... You wait on the shore for a while, and you will be on the shore immediately, and you will be sent a location after landing. Chen Yuan received a call from his sister.
Zhou Sheng collected the money and went in to select a farmed grouper, 43 catties, only 2,000 yuan. On average, fifty yuan is less than 1 catty...... This is still the fishing season, and the price of seafood is generally rising.
Smaller farmed grouper grouper costs more than 20 yuan for 1 catty.
Bleeding the grouper and throwing it in the refrigerator, Lin Xinhai said goodbye to Wei Tao and them, and started the boat to return to the port.
There are many fishing boats parked in the harbor, and the bay is lit up by the sparse lights of fishing boats, and it is a little deserted during the fishing season. Farther away is Zhapo Town, where thousands of lights are lit......
The lights of thousands of homes shine on the stars in the port, and there is a heavy warmth in the quiet.
