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

"The fish is big, but not very valuable." Chen Yuce sighed.

The old cat said with a smile on his face: "That's right. It's so big. It's probably worth eight or nine yuan a catty. With this net of seven or eight thousand catties, it's worth tens of thousands."

In the past, the products on the market were always good ones, which raised everyone’s horizons. Products priced at eight or nine yuan a pound were a bit unappealing.

Xia Shouzhu dared to smile generously and said, "It's pretty good. It's more valuable than the toad fish."

Although everyone felt a little regretful, they soon got into the work of sorting. Looking at the mountains of fish, their mood gradually improved.

This net is almost entirely made up of cobia, also known as jellyfish, sea licorice, sea anchovy, etc. It is an important economic fish in the sea.

The characteristic of Juncao is that it grows quickly and can reach a weight of seven or eight kilograms in two to three years of age. It is also one of the important species in cage culture at present.

As for the taste, it's actually not bad. There are no small bones, and the fish meat is delicate and firm, but it just can't be sold at a high price.

"Look, this one of mine is the top pick." Chen Yuce picked up the first one and showed it off to everyone.

The smallest one in this net weighs eight or nine kilograms, and the one he holds is estimated to weigh nearly 60 kilograms, which is considered larger.

But it was not qualified to be the largest in this net. Ah Chen quickly sorted out a larger one, nearly two meters long and weighing about a hundred kilograms.

Although it is not valuable, this fish is easy to sort. It used to take at least nearly two hours to sort one net. Now this net has a lot of goods, but it only takes one hour to sort it.

Cobia.

After everything was put into the warehouse, Zhao Qin washed his hands and made another cup of tea.

"Stop drinking, go catch up on your sleep quickly." The old cat came closer and advised.

"Don't worry, have another drink, otherwise you won't be able to sleep well."

After drinking a bottle, he walked into the cabin. Although it was a bit stuffy inside during the day, it was quieter than outside.

When he came in, Brother Zhuzhu was already snoring.

He slept very deeply. After all, he hadn't slept well in two days. He was woken up by the sound of Xia Shouzhu getting up.

"Brother Zhuzi, have you set up the net?"

"No, you go on sleeping. I'll go out and take a look. I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time. Why didn't you wake up the Internet?"

Zhao Qin looked at his watch and said, "Let me go. It's already past seven o'clock in the evening. That's not right. The Internet hasn't been up for so long. Could it be that the machine is malfunctioning?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that a professional mechanic should be hired on the ship.

Although the eldest brother and the cat brother both have certain mechanical repair skills, they are not professional mechanics after all. Well, I will look for one carefully when I go back this time.

I got up while thinking about it, and when I came to the deck, I realized that there was no problem, but that they had already set up the net and were sorting the goods.

It seemed that they were afraid of disturbing the rest of the two people, so the net was set up quietly this time.

"How was the harvest?"

"Not bad, Ah Qin, do you know what kind of fish this is?"

"What don't you know about this? It's a real sea bream." Zhao Qin felt that Brother Cat was just teasing him.

This thing is so common that even if Zhao Qin had just come to this world, he would have known it before he went to the sea. After all, he was a loyal fan of the sea and jungle videos in his previous life.

He can still distinguish black snapper, yellow snapper, red snapper, and stone snapper at a glance.

The old cat chuckled, picked up one tail and let him take a closer look.

Zhao Qin also understood that if Lao Anchor was like this, then this thing must not be a real sea bream, but after looking at it carefully, he still shook his head, "I think it is a real sea bream, Brother Cat, don't be so pretentious."

The old cat first pointed to the top of the fish's lips, and then pulled up the dorsal fin, "Isn't it different?"

"Why are the upper lips yellow? And why are there three yellow spots on the back, which the sea bream doesn't have."

The old cat nodded, "You can occasionally catch this fish in deep-sea fishing. Everyone calls it red sea bream. You also know that in some places here, real sea bream is also called red sea bream.

But this fish is much more valuable than sea bream. I have never eaten it. I heard that the meat is also more delicious than sea bream. In some places, it is called "sea chicken".

Out of curiosity, I actually asked someone about it, and I heard that its scientific name is the sea bream. It is often said that some people are allergic to seafood, but eating this kind of fish rarely causes allergies, and it can also improve allergic constitution. "

The high-backed sea bream is one of the species of sea bream and inhabits the offshore sand bottom at a water depth of 50-200 meters.

This was the first time Zhao Qin had seen this kind of fish. Of course, he might have seen it before, but he thought it was a real sea bream. After all, at first glance, there was almost no difference between this fish and a real sea bream.

The pile in front of us is quite large, ranging from two to three thousand kilograms, and the size is generally about one and a half kilograms. Some big ones can weigh three or four kilograms, but they are very rare.

"Brother Cat, do you think this fish is valuable?"

"Well, I've seen people selling it for about 50 yuan, which is much higher than the price of sea bream. And this fish has certain liver-nourishing effects.

It seems that I have reviewed the most delicious sea fish before, and this fish made it into the top ten. "

It can reach 50 yuan per catty, which is higher than the price of gray pomfret, which shows that the economic value of this fish is indeed not low.

"Brother Cat, how can you remember so many fish?" Xia Yingjie was told that he was a little overwhelmed. He even forgot some of the names of the fish he caught this time.

"Don't worry. If you go out to sea a few more times, you will see more fish. It will be easier to identify them with comparison."

Xia Yingjie felt that if he saw more of them, he would probably be more confused. Freshwater fish would be better. There were only a few kinds near home, and he could tell which one they were by feel.

Everyone was in an extremely relaxed mood, and seemed to be less excited about the value of this network than before. After all, they had seen it before, and an income of more than 100,000 yuan from one network was really nothing.

Only Lao Mao and Zhao Ping understood that it was not easy to make the Internet famous.

Both of them had doubts in their hearts, but there was no way to explain it. In the end, they could only attribute it to Zhao Qin's incredible luck and Mazu's blessing.

This kind of fish weighing one or two kilograms, relatively average in size, is what they like to sort the most, and the sorting efficiency is also the highest.

There were indeed a lot of fish, but they couldn't keep up with the continuous sorting by seven people, and the deck was cleared in just an hour.

Zhao Qin picked out a few small ones, about a pound, to prepare dinner later. Everyone was already not surprised when they saw this.

Maybe everyone would be surprised if Zhao Qin stopped saving some for himself one day.

After sorting, Ah Chen and Zhu Zhu were busy cooking, while Zhao Qin came to the wheelhouse to change duties and let his eldest brother take a rest.

After a while, he tasted the so-called high-backed sea bream. He always felt that this thing was almost the same as real sea bream, and he thought the taste should be similar.

But when he tasted it carefully, he realized why this fish was called Sea Chicken. Under the red skin, the fish meat was white and firm.

You can actually eat the fine meat fiber. It is really similar to chicken, but more tender and fresh than chicken.

The one above is a red sea bream, and the one below is a sea bream. Are they similar?
