My Deep-sea Fishery

After the tip of the tongue became popular in the past, documentary channels have followed up with various food documentaries.

Among them is a documentary called "Cai Lam Shopping in the Vegetable Basket", which filmed Chaozhou fish balls in the Chaozhou cuisine chapter.

At that time, Ditixiang Fishball Shop in Dahao demonstrated the whole process of making fishballs. The raw material they selected was also the same snake mullet.

Later, some people commented that it was because Chaozhou people discovered the cheap and high-quality snake mullet that Chaoshan fish balls could be mass-produced and eventually became famous at home and abroad.

"Clean up and freeze all these snake mullets. Freeze the remaining cheap fish as well. Keep the valuable fish in the live water tank. Rare fish should be kept in water tanks. If you encounter someone you don't know The sea fish called me immediately." Xiang Yang untied the fishing net himself, picked up a few snake mullets that were two palms long, and put them into a wooden box.

This kind of fish is really heavy. Their flesh is very tight, and their weight is far more than that of ordinary sea fish. The snake mullet that Xiang Yang picked up just now weighs several catties.

"The harvest from this net is not bad. Although the snake mullet is not very valuable, it is very heavy. The snake mullet alone may weigh more than 10,000 catties in this net. It is worth selling it for 70,000 to 80,000 yuan in wholesale. No problem." He Mingde walked over and said.

Xiang Yang nodded, agreeing with He Mingde's statement.

Snake mullet is usually sold in the market for about ten yuan a catty, but because it is the best material for making fish balls, its price is not very cheap when it is sold wholesale, and it can be sold for seven or eight yuan a catty. It's a catty, and someone accepts it, which is much better than squid.

"Overall, it's pretty good. Everyone works hard. After cleaning up this batch of fish, we will try to catch another net in the morning." Xiang Yang laughed.

"Ah? Are you still fishing?" Some crew members felt their scalp tingle when they saw the snake mullet all over the deck. These snake mullets weighed over ten thousand catties, plus some other fish and ice cubes. Calculated in pieces, each of them is equivalent to cleaning and moving thousands of catties.

Maybe some people who have moved goods will say that it is very easy to move a thousand catties in one morning, especially those buddies who carry gas tanks and mineral water bottles and unload large trucks, they may move more than one thousand catties in an hour.

In fact, cleaning the fish catch is far less easy than moving the goods. The work of cleaning the fish catch on the deck is far more tiring than moving the fish catch from the deck to the refrigerated warehouse.

"Clean up these fish within an hour and get a 200 yuan bonus for everyone, and clear everyone's 100 yuan bonus within an hour and a half." Want to laugh and shout: "You want a 200 yuan bonus Or a hundred yuan bonus?"

"Fuck, boss, get out of the way, don't get in front of me."

As soon as the crew members heard Xiang Yang say that there was a bonus, they were immediately mobilized, and they all tried their best.

Even Zhou Wang, who never helped to clean up the fish before, was helping to deliver the foam boxes. While delivering the foam boxes to the sailors, he asked Xiang Yang: "Captain, the people you mentioned should include Lao Zhou and me. inside?"

"How could I miss you, Master Zhou?" Naturally, Xiang Yang would not favor one another over such trivial matters, not to mention that Zhou Wang's role on this boat is enormous, and Xiang Yang is inferior to controlling the entire set of fishing equipment. On him, at least so many times so far, there has been no accident caused by operational errors.

Zhou Wang was actually just joking. He is a skilled worker and his salary is much higher than that of ordinary crew members. He doesn't really care about the one hundred and two hundred bonus, but a fool would not take it if he had money. He rushed to Xiang Yangwan With a smile, I joined the army of cleaning up the fish.

"Captain, come and see this fish." Fang Youqun shouted at this time.

"What?" Xiang Yang hurried over.

"Is this a trilobite? I saw it on TV." Fang Youqun pointed at a strange fish and said loudly.

That strange fish really looks like a trilobite fossil, and it seems that there is only a shell left on the whole body, without even a little bit of meat, but the strange thing is that the fish is still alive.

"Nonsense, what kind of trilobite is this, this is Chinese horseshoe crab." Xiang Yang recognized the strange fish at a glance.

"Chinese horseshoe crab?" Fang Youqun asked suspiciously, "I've only heard of Chinese soft-shelled turtle."

"There are too many fish you haven't heard of." Xiang Yang picked up the Chinese horseshoe crab and threw it back into the sea.

"Hey, Brother Yang, what are you doing?" Fang Youqun shouted hastily.

"Even if you haven't seen this kind of fish, you should have watched the short video of catching the sea, right?" Xiang Yang said speechlessly: "Many people who catch the sea have encountered this kind of marine life in the programs of catching the sea on the self-media. It is a second-level national protection. Animals, so the people who drove the sea released them into the sea one after another."

"Catch the sea?" Fang Youqun asked puzzled.

Xiang Yang shook his head, too lazy to say more.

"Hey, there's another one here." At this time, another crew member also found a Chinese horseshoe crab. He picked up the Chinese horseshoe crab and put it in front of his eyes. Then he turned to Xiang Yang and said, "Captain, what does it look like?" It's strange, somewhat similar to the corpse in Notes on Tomb Raiders."

"Put it back into the sea, there are not many such creatures." Xiang Yang sighed.

Horseshoe crab is an ancient marine creature. It lived on the earth as early as the Devonian period more than 300 million years ago, and it still maintains its original form. It can be called an ancient remnant in the ocean. animals of the same period. Despite hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes, this species has remained unchanged, so it is called "biological living fossil".

Chinese horseshoe crab is a very representative type of horseshoe crab. Its body consists of three parts. The carapace is slightly horseshoe-shaped, the abdomen is hexagonal with spines on both sides, and the tail is a long tail sword. They are usually It likes to live on the sandy bottom of the shallow sea. It is an omnivorous marine fish that feeds on small insects and shellfish in the sea, and sometimes also eats seabed algae.

Every summer is the breeding season. Chinese horseshoe crabs swim from the sea to the beach in the intertidal zone near the sea. The males and females gather together, and the female horseshoe crabs pick up the sand to make a nest.

When the tide goes out, the fertilized eggs buried in the sand will not be underwater, so that they can safely avoid aquatic predators, which is why Chinese horseshoe crabs are often seen when rushing to the sea, and generally It is to meet two together at the same time.

It is winter now, not the spawning season of Limulus chinensis, so Xiang Yang found them far away from the shore.

"Captain, are you really going to throw it back into the sea?" At this time, Chen Qingsheng came over and said, "I see that Chinese horseshoe crabs are also sold in general pharmacies?"

The medicinal value of Limulus chinensis is extremely high. Its meat, shell, and tail can be used as medicine.
