Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

“When it comes to eating hairtail, it’s best to eat hairtail after the winter solstice and before the Spring Festival, because hairtail has accumulated a lot of oil during the winter.

Therefore, the hairtail at this time is the fattest and the most tender. "

"Brother Cat, according to you, seafood in winter generally tastes better?" Ah Chen asked.

"It can be said that there is an old saying here that after the winter solstice, the sand in the sea is fresh. Have you never heard of it?"

Zhao Qin tried hard to recall while picking, whether he had yellow or black mesh before.

Could it be that I have never eaten a really good hairtail fish until now?

Damn it, I have been a fisherman for half a year, it would be embarrassing if this spread.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't remember, mainly because he hadn't paid much attention to the color of fish eyes before.

But it’s also simple. Let Ah Chen steam a few tails later and taste it to see if it tastes the same as the one you had before.

Well, if you are as smart as me, will you be stumped by small questions?

"Brother Cat, is the size of our network large or small?"

In Zhao Qin's opinion, the hairtail fish in this net are all ordinary in size, with a length of 70 to 80 centimeters. The big ones only weigh two to three kilograms, and the small ones only weigh about one kilogram.

"It's pretty good. Black-eyed ones are generally smaller and grow slower than yellow-eyed ones. Of course, due to the water here,

Even if they are both black-headed fish, they will grow faster than northern hairtail fish, and their taste will be slightly worse. "

Then Lao Mao told everyone how to choose a really good hairtail. Needless to say, freshness, everyone also knows what is fresh.

The main thing is to look at the eyes. Black eyes are preferred for black eyes and yellow eyes. Small eyes are preferred for big eyes and small eyes. The smaller the eyes, the better the taste of the hairtail fish.

"As you can see, they are all black eyes. The black eyes in Zhoushan are smaller than the eyes here. It makes sense that the hairtail they produce is famous all over the country.

The taste is fresh and sweet, and the meat is not to mention tender. You can try it if you have the opportunity in the future. "

Zhao Qin swallowed hard after hearing what the old cat said, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was because of the water area. If he wanted to eat fresh food, he really had to go to that place.

Well, buying a big cruise ship and eating seafood from all four sea areas of the motherland is a good goal.

Hairtails require baskets and specifications, so sorting them out was relatively slow. Zhao Qin suddenly realized that the most important question had not been asked, "Brother Cat, what is the current price of this?"

"In normal times, this kind of fresh and good-quality black eye belt can be sold for about 25 yuan, but after the winter solstice, the price of seafood is rising.

I estimate that when we go back, we can sell it for at least 30 yuan per catty. "

"so tall?"

Zhao Qin's eyes widened. The price was actually higher than that of seabass and yellow sea bream!

This is also a matter of perception. In Zhao Qin’s impression, even more than ten years later, the price of fresh hairtail was only 341 kilograms, while yellow sea bream and sea bass had risen to 70 or 80 yuan per kilogram.

The reason why I say it is awareness is because there are more and more breeding zones, and also because yellow sea bream and sea bass are still very common in the sea now, unlike more than ten years later,

These two species of fish are becoming increasingly difficult to catch, and prices are naturally rising.

Seeing Zhao Qin pick out a few big ones and put them aside, everyone tacitly agreed not to say anything. What they said was in vain. Besides, everyone had something to eat, so there was nothing to say.

After cleaning the deck, Zhuzi cleaned up the few hairtail fish left behind, "Aqin, how do you want to eat?"

"Just steam it."

It was almost time to make dinner. Xia Shouzhu agreed and started working on dinner.

In the evening, Zhao Qin tasted hairtail. He finally understood that it wasn't that hairtail was inferior, but that he didn't know how to eat it!

The texture of this hairtail fish is not a bit better than what I had before. Not to mention the fishy smell, the meat is more tender, and the big thorn in the middle is softer than the one I had before.

Specializing in the middle section, Brother Zhuzi also cut into large pieces. He did three sections in a row, which was really satisfying.

After the meal, several people sat on the deck drinking tea and watching the sunset, feeling particularly relaxed.

Starting from noon, more and more fishing boats were seen in the distance on the road. Some were similar to their boats, some were bigger than them.

We also encountered two or three fleets, each with as few as two ships and as many as six ships traveling together.

According to Lao Mao, those are two-ship trawl operations, that is, two ships dragging the same large net, specializing in catching marine cargo in the middle and upper waters.

"Aqin, do you want to set up the net?" Old Cat sat next to him and asked.

Zhao Qin calculated the time and said, "If you wait another hour, the network will not be down again. We will rush home with all our strength."

"That's okay too."

The sky is getting darker, and there are more and more stars in the sky.

After resting for a while, it was finally time to set up the net.

When the net bag was pulled up, it was obviously less than the last net bag, but everyone was not discouraged. Even if this net bag was empty, it was enough for this trip.

When the net was opened, everyone couldn't help but frown. It wasn't that the harvest was too bad, it was mainly that the garbage increased significantly.

"Aqin, we don't even have enough garbage bags."

"If it's not enough, just push it to the side of the deck. Anyway, I don't plan to launch any more nets, and I'm not afraid of taking up space."

"Everyone, please work harder and try to finish the work in two hours." After the old cat finished speaking, he whispered to Zhao Qin, then got up and returned to the wheelhouse.

Next, he had to rush home quickly. He was a little worried about Zhao Ping steering the boat alone, and planned to take over the helmsman's position again. After all, it was night, and an extra pair of eyes would give him more protection.

There are also hairtails in this net, but not much. It is estimated that the full catch is only two to three hundred kilograms. There are a lot of shrimps, which are estimated to be close to a thousand kilograms.

This thing is really cheap. Fortunately, I saw the figure of the nine-segmented shrimp again. It looked sparse and there were only a few, but after picking them all, there were nearly three baskets, one weighing more than 100 kilograms, and dozens of them. It's a pound.

After dividing the goods, Ah Chen and the others picked up the net again and stood by the light to catch fish. There are many kinds of light-loving fish on the sea. Some of them are stupid and will jump to the deck by themselves.

Zhao Qin found a place and silently calculated the general income of this trip in his mind.

The total of the seven or eighty-eight fish caught should not reach 30 tons, but it must be more than 20 tons. Even if the average is 15 yuan per catty, this trip will still have an income of 60 yuan. Of course, the average of 15 yuan per catty will definitely be more than that.

The only ones with the lowest unit prices are toad fish, three-eyed crabs, shrimp shrimps, etc., and the others are higher than this price.

Excluding the subsidy, my ship received more than 68 yuan. Guaiguai, did I really make a profit on a ship in just three days?

How about booking another one?

Such an idea suddenly popped into my mind, and then it grew like a weed, scratching my heart with hundreds of claws.

No rush, no rush!

I comforted myself and waited until I made more money to order a bigger ship.

Ok?

How about ordering five or six boats of around 25 meters to form an offshore fishing fleet, and then ordering three or four boats of over 70 meters to form an offshore fishing fleet?

Tsk tsk, what a big heart.

The trawler is about 40 meters long, larger than the one described in the book.
