My Deep-sea Fishery

In that case, no matter how many sea fish and fishing boats are hoisted by the steel drill, the overall force on the fishing boat is still uniform.

But this time is different. The total fish caught so far this time is only a few thousand catties, and the fresh water resources on board are mainly stored at the stern.

"Okay, Master Xu, you slow down first." Xiang Yang said.

Although it is said that the speed of the fishing boat before pulling out the net will definitely cause many fish that have entered the net to escape, those fish that have escaped are not worth mentioning compared to safety.

Soon, the speed of the fishing boat slowly slowed down.

At this time, Zhou Wang consciously manipulated the winch to pull up the fishing net without Xiang Yang's order.

The net leaves the water and moves slowly towards the deck.

At this time, the crew members standing in line on both sides of the deck became excited.

"fish."

"many fish."

"A net full of fish."

The whole fishing net was stretched round and looked like a ball, and the ball was full of sea fish of various colors.

"Is that cod?" Fang Youqun asked, pointing to a sea fish with black spots all over its body.

"Impossible." Xiang Yang directly vetoed it without even looking at it.

As the most important economic fish species, cod is one of the fishes with the largest annual catch in the world. Every fisherman knows that cod is a cold-water bottom fish. They live in cold waters all their lives. Xiang Yang is now The sea here is almost approaching the tropics, and the water is not very deep, so how could it be possible to catch cod?

"Huh, this is?" Xiang Yang carefully looked at the fish that Fang Youqun pointed to. The scales of that fish were round and small, and the color of the head and back was darker than that of the abdomen. From the outside, it really looked like a fish. a cod.

"How, am I right? This is a cod." Fang Youqun said.

"No." Xiang Yang shook his head.

"It's really not." Chen Qingsheng also said, "If I'm not mistaken, this fish should be a snake mullet."

"Snake mullet?" Many people are hearing the name of this fish for the first time.

"Snake mullet and cod do have some similarities in appearance, especially this kind of snake mullet with patterns on its body, but in fact, snake mullet and cod are still very easy to distinguish. You can see that the body of this fish is cylindrical. Sturgeon has a flattened body, and cod has three dorsal fins on its back."

"Of course, the main difference is the snake mullet's teeth, which are fine and sharp."

"Snake mullet." Fang Youqun muttered, "The name of this fish is really strange."

"Have you heard of that brother fish? That brother with rough skin." Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The so-called "Na brother" on the Chaoshan side actually refers to the snake mullet, because the scales of the snake mullet seem to be bigger than other fish. They're all thick."

"Really?" Fang Youqun hurried over to touch the fish, then turned around and said in surprise, "It's true."

Speaking of the snake mullet, there is a nursery rhyme that is widely sung in Chaoshan. It seems to be sung like this when translated into Mandarin:

"Brother Rough Skin, buy money if you have money.

If you don’t have money, don’t squeeze it, it will stink after a long time.”

Of course, the object of this folk song is not the snake mullet itself but the person with skin disease.

Generally, if a child has a classmate who has a skin disease, everyone will boo and shout this ballad at him.

"I know why this net is so heavy." Xiang Yang turned around the fishing net and said in admiration, "No wonder Master Xu said that the speed of the boat should be slowed down before lifting the net. It's a snake mullet."

"What? Is the fish any different?"

"It's a little different. Snake mullet can be regarded as a very economical fish, which means that the output is large and the price is low. In the vegetable market where snake mullet is sold, very fresh snake mullet only costs 10 yuan per catty. Or so, the price of dried and transported inland is even less than that of cuttlefish, but a hand-and-a-half-long nago weighs more than a catty, which is as heavy as a scale." Xiang Yang said.

"Only ten yuan a catty?" Fang Youqun blinked, "Isn't that the same as Balangyu?"

The scientific name of Balang fish is blue round trevally, alias also known as stick fish, stick fish, pond fish, yellow zhan, Chizai and cooked fish. One of the least valuable sea fish in the eyes of many people.

"Almost." Xiang Yang said: "Snake mullet is a very ferocious carnivorous fish. The meat is still white and delicious. The most common way to eat it is to cook it into fish rice. Its taste and price should be higher than that of Balang. The fish rice is slightly higher, but not too much."

"It's okay to cut the nago fish into large pieces and cook with the ribs and radish. The taste can be compared with the scallop and radish soup. I used to bring a few nago fish home when I met them on the boat and then babble the fish. It is salted into small pieces, sun-dried into half-dried salted fish, fried, and then eaten slowly.” Chen Qingsheng said.

Xiang Yang nodded. Snake mullets are generally not sold for a few bucks. It is not surprising that the boss of the fishing boat gives the crew to win people's hearts.

But Xiang Yang doesn't need to use this method to win people's hearts, the benefits he gave to the crew are all real.

The snake mullet has a lot of bones, which makes many people daunted.

Even the Chaoshan snake mullet, which is the most famous snake mullet, is rarely bought fresh.

However, the reason snake mullet is famous in Chaoshan is not for eating, but for making fish balls.

Chaoshan fish ball is a famous delicacy all over the world. Basically, anyone who has eaten street food has eaten this cheap and delicious delicacy. The production technology of Chaoshan fish ball is the pinnacle. famous.

If you ask why Chaoshan fish balls are so delicious, snake mullet must be the most important contributor.

"Clean up all these fish and refrigerate them." Xiang Yang ordered: "When I go back, I will keep a few hundred catties and send them to Huhai Town to be processed into fish balls at my own expense. At that time, each person will share 20 catties and go back. .”

Chaoshan fish balls have a great reputation, and the bulk fish balls in many inland supermarkets are also under the banner of Chaoshan fish balls.

In fact, it is not. Many of those are processed from ordinary freshwater fish. Chaoshan fish balls made of real snake mullet are rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, lecithin, etc. Students eat In addition to enhancing memory, thinking and analysis skills, the elderly can delay mental decline without any side effects on the body.

In the past, fish balls in some high-end hotels were made of fish such as eel and soft-shelled turtle, but now there are no more, because the price of those fish is generally more expensive, but the fish balls produced are not as delicious as snake mullet fish balls.

Snake mullet fish balls are cheap, but the texture is very soft and crispy, and they are very tender when bitten. Now some fish balls in sea view hotels are also made of snake mullet.
