Chapter Eighty-Seven: Ma Youyu (Ask for the First Order)
Zhang Yaohua and the others tried to release a net, which dragged for almost two hours, which is the longest net that Zhang Yaohua has dragged so far.
In fact, it is normal to drag a net for two or three hours.
"The time has come to witness miracles."
As the machine continues to reel in the nets, a large bag of fish is dragged onto the boat.
This net has to be about 3,000 catties, the fishing boat is very cool, and the harvest of a net is comparable to the harvest of a small fishing boat in a day.
Shui Wang stepped forward and pulled the rope at the end of the net, and the catch inside suddenly poured out and fell on the deck.
The catch is a bit miscellaneous, including cheap sardines, average octopus, and more expensive pike crabs, nine-section shrimps, and horse fish.
"This fish is delicious, you shouldn't have eaten it, it's it at night." Zhang Yaowei said to Ah Jiu.
"What fish?"
"Ma Youyu, also known as noon fish, or noon bamboo shoots. The meat is delicate and layered, layered like a mille-feuille, and if marinated, it separates in layers, so it tastes good when making salted fish. ”
The price of this fish is about 50 yuan, and it has recently risen to 70 yuan.
When Ah Jiu heard this, he was about to drool.
Zhang Yaohua and Ah Hui moved over the plastic frame: "Quickly sort!" ”
The last thing that everyone likes is a hodgepodge of nets, which puts a lot of pressure on the sorting work. It's best to have a net full of one kind of fish, just frame it.
And now, as it is, not only to classify, but also to divide the size, small fish and shrimp are thrown back into the sea. Sometimes, the same is true for worthless trash fish, there is no need to pull it back and take up space.
"That's Balang fish, also called Huang Zhan, lose it!" Zhang Yaohua said to Ah Jiu.
"Ahh Don't want it? It's not too small, is it? ”
"It's too cheap, the market sells for only four or five yuan per catty, and others charge us, at most two or three yuan, which is cheaper than your sugar oranges over there."
Ah Jiu said darkly: When can the sugar oranges from our origin be sold for two or three yuan?
"Yes! This kind of fish is hot and humid, it is generally dried, some people will have accidents when they eat it, we don't eat it, it should be eaten by other provinces. Shui Wang added.
"Don't eat from other provinces, do you? Isn't it said that this fish is mainly used as fish feed for marine farming? ”
Zhang Yaohua: "It can't be said that people from other provinces are eating, in Chaoshan, there are many people who eat, and Fujian is the same, and it was even regarded as a supreme delicacy for a time." Let's just say that the diet is different in each place! ”
Guangxi seems to rarely eat this kind of fish, Guangdong depends on the place, Fujian is more popular.
Finally, according to the statistics, Ma Youyu is about more than 600 catties, and according to 50 yuan a catty, it is more than 30,000 yuan. There are more than 80 catties of pike crabs, more than 50 catties of various shrimps, more than 100 catties of octopus, and hundreds of catties of small yellow croaker......
At present, the price of small yellow croaker is in the early twenties, which is neither high nor low.
"If this little yellow croaker is raised a little bigger, will it become a big yellow croaker?" Ah Jiu asked curiously.
Isn't it said that big yellow croaker is expensive? You can take the small yellow croaker back and raise it.
"The idea is good, but the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker are not the same fish at all." Zhang Yaohua said with a smile.
Many people will have the same idea as Ah Jiu, after all, they are all yellow croaker! It's just a matter of size.
Under normal circumstances, the body size of large yellow croaker is smaller and larger, but this is not a fixed characteristic and cannot be used as the main basis for judging the size of "two yellows".
Both large and small yellow croakers are species of the genus Yellow Croaker of the order Perciformes, and they are very closely related and sometimes not easy to distinguish.
Their bodies are flattened on the side, and they are all the appearance of ordinary fish, with a decent "spindle-shaped"; Secondly, they are all covered in golden scales, which are simply carved out of a mold.
First of all, the large yellow croaker has small scales and the small yellow croaker has large scales.
Secondly, the tail stalk of the large yellow croaker is slender, and the length is 3 times the height; The tail stalk of the small yellow croaker is short and wide, and the length is twice the height.
The so-called caudal peduncle is an anatomical term for fishes that refers to the area between the posterior edge of the base of the anal fin and the base of the caudal fin.
"Ahh Isn't it the same? ”
"Of course it's different! Usually we rarely encounter small yellow croaker, and there are not many small yellow croaker resources in the South China Sea. Shui Wang said.
Small yellow croaker is mainly concentrated in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea. Giant yellow croaker is concentrated in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, and the two have overlapping activity areas.
Compared with the big yellow croaker, the small yellow croaker is the "national seafood" in the hearts of the people in the north, and it is crispy and fried until golden on both sides after washing and peeling, and I dare not think how fragrant it is.
"Now, there are many wild small yellow croaker, and many large yellow croaker are farmed. The price of wild small yellow croaker is about the same as that of farmed large yellow croaker, which is twenty or thirty yuan, so when you buy it, you don't have to care too much about whether it is a large yellow croaker or a small yellow croaker. ”
We all know that the growth rate and environment are different, and the wild ones may taste better than the farmed ones, but many people must not be able to eat the price difference of thousands of yuan, and they like to spend a lot of money to buy wild goods, and they just want a luxurious feeling.
When night fell, they made a horse fish of more than six catties to eat.
"This fish is really delicious."
"Then wait until you go back, leave a little to dry, and take it back to eat later." Zhang Yaohua gave him advice.
"It's so expensive, let's keep it and sell it!"
If it's your own, it doesn't matter, but this harvest is everyone's! It's not good for him to keep a little and bring it back to his home, it doesn't matter if the two uncles are there, but what about Brother Hui and Shui Wang?
Ah Hui glanced at him, knowing what Ah Jiu was thinking, and said, "Save some!" I'm going to dry a few too. ”
If everyone stays, then there will be no problem.
"It's delicious, of course you have to save some for yourself! When you pick fruits, don't you eat the best of them from the trees? ”
Ah Jiu smiled, it seemed that he was really doing this kind of operation, and he would eat it on the spot if it was beautiful. In fact, a lot of people do it.
After eating and drinking, everyone came to the deck to blow the wind.
This is the first time Zhang Yaohua has spent the night in the sea, and the stars in the sky are very brilliant. This kind of night sky is absolutely not seen in the city.
"Look, there's something shining in the sea."
"It's a hairtail!" Shui Wang guessed.
"Hairtail fish glow?" Ah Jiu was puzzled. He's eaten fish, but he never thought it would shine!
"It's not the hairtail fish themselves that glow, it's the bacteria they carry that glow. Not only hairtail fish, but also dragonhead fish. Zhang Yaohua told him.
Dragonhead fish is also a protected animal, but it is not completely banned, and the government has set up specific protected areas, as long as it is not caught in the protected area, it is legal.
In addition, there are also some sea creatures that emit light on their own, such as candlelight fish, which has multiple rows of luminous devices on its abdomen and ventral sides, like rows of candles, hence the name candlelight fish.
There are also deep-sea bald fish with flat heads on the back and covered by a pair of large luminaires, which may have served as a visual function.
"Cast a net?" Zhang Yaowei asked tentatively.
Fishing at night is sometimes better, after all, there are many seafood night owls that come out at night.
Zhang Yaohua: "Hmm! Yes, then give it a try. ”
