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

Zhao Ping's words stumped Zhao Qin. He just said it casually.

When running a business for my sister-in-law and Pingping, they can’t be too busy or too tiring, and most importantly, they can’t be too sleepy, so that they can have some time to take care of the family.

It seems that there is no suitable business that I am involved in now.

Anyway, there is no rush. I am not the one who is sad now. I can think about it slowly.

After a while, he also caught a fish, a white croaker, weighing about 7 or 8 kilograms, which was just average.

However, just after I changed the bait, I caught a fish again. This time it was a little harder to pull it up, and when I pulled it up, it turned out to be a huge manta ray weighing nearly 20 kilograms.

"This is a really big deal." Zhao Ping was a little anxious. Why didn't he open his own business?

"Brother, I heard that this liver is delicious. How about chopping it up tomorrow and sharing it among us?"

Zhao Qin carefully scooped the fish onto the boat, picked up the pliers next to him, plucked out the stingray's tail spine and threw it into the sea.

Then he replied, "If you want to eat it, take it. I don't want it."

How can I describe the manta ray? Actually, it tastes pretty good, soft and sticky, a bit like the skirt of a turtle, and it has no tiny thorns, and most of the bones are brittle.

But in addition to the strong fishy smell, this thing also has a special smell, similar to the smell of ammonia, just like a slightly rotten egg. Anyway, he is not used to it.

As for the liver, most people do say it is delicious, but it is too fat-rich and tastes like overcooked fat meat, which Zhao Qin couldn't stand.

The price of this fish locally is also acceptable, now it is about 20 yuan per catty.

"I don't want it either. Ah He, you can take it if you want." Zhao Ping obviously didn't like the smell either.

After baiting and fishing again, it was finally Zhao Ping's turn to catch a fish. He was having a hard time pulling the fish, and he didn't dare to pull it out as violently as Zhao Qin did.

So I pulled for a long time before the fish surfaced. I looked and found it was another manta ray, a little smaller than the previous one, weighing about 12 or 13 pounds.

The fish here hasn't been unhooked yet, and Ah He also pulled up a manta ray.

"No need to divide it, one for each of us." Ah He said with a smile.

"No, you can take them all." Zhao Qin wouldn't want them anyway.

This was strange. The three of them caught fish in succession, but they were all manta rays. The big ones weighed more than ten pounds, and the small ones weighed two or three pounds. In a short while, they caught more than ten fish, weighing nearly a hundred pounds.

Zhao Qin was very disgusted, but Zhao Ping was quite happy, "Not bad, it can be sold for more than a thousand yuan."

Ah He was a little annoyed with pulling this kind of fish at this time, and never mentioned keeping it for himself.

Finally, I changed the species this time and caught a stone eel weighing seven or eight kilograms, also known as oil cone in the local area.

Although it took a hook, Zhao Qin was still very happy. This thing was delicious, the meat was firm, the skin was soft and chewy, the taste was distinct, and it was extremely sweet.

Yellow eel has an earthy smell, so it needs heavy seasoning to suppress it. It is delicious if you add some ginger slices and steam it. Of course, it will be even more delicious if you braise it.

Stone eel is actually a local collective name for a variety of eels, such as the bean-spotted naked-breasted eel, the cloud-patterned naked-breasted eel, the spotted naked-breasted eel, etc., which are all called this in the local area.

This kind of eel has a wide range of activities, from the cracks in the rocks at the seaside to the bottom of the deep sea one or two hundred meters deep.

Moreover, most of the large-span marine fish taste better near the coast than in the deep sea, such as the yellow chicken. Although the yellow chicken in the inner bend does not grow too large,

But in terms of taste, it is definitely better than the big yellow chicken from the deep sea.

"Brother, I'll eat at your place tonight." Seeing the stone eel, Ah He also licked his lips.

"Okay, brother, let's drink at home tonight."

Zhao Pingtou nodded even faster. These past two days at home, whenever he touched the wine bottle during meals, his wife would act as if she had read Man Jiang Hong. She wouldn't be furious, but she would definitely glare at him.

Not to mention not giving me drink, I can’t even drink it even if I give it to me.

After fishing for a while, Zhao Xuan still felt the heat. In his opinion, if he really went bankrupt in the future, this fishing rod would be enough to support his family.

By this time he had caught at least thirty or forty kilograms of fish, which was definitely worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.

"Almost done, I'll set up the pump." Ah He just pulled up a red sea bream, looked back, and found that the puddle had appeared.

Zhao Ping also put down his pole and stood up to help.

Zhao Qin did not move. The tide was receding and there was still some water flowing. He tried to catch two more fish. Now that they were out, he had to focus on production.

Suddenly the tip of the rod sank, and he raised it violently. This time he pulled it up more carefully, because from the feeling of pulling the rod back, it should be a good fish.

After about ten minutes, the fish came out of the water. As he expected, it was a grouper. The scientific name of this fish is Epinephelus bulgarius.

It is considered to be a relatively moderate-sized grouper, weighing three or four pounds in most cases, and less than 40 centimeters in length, which is similar to the physique of the red grouper, but a little thinner and longer than the red grouper.

The largest sesame spot found so far seems to have grown to nearly one meter in length and weighed 22 kilograms.

The price is higher than that of blue spot in the local area, about 90 yuan per catty. The one I caught now weighs more than catties.

Take it home and take care of it. It’s delicious to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Brother, look, there are dog snails." Just as he deflated the fish into the cabin, he heard Ah He behind him shouting excitedly.

Zhao Qin stood up immediately after hearing this. Before coming here, he was still wondering if there were any. He was reluctant to eat the ones he picked last year. If he could pick some this time, he might consider keeping some for himself to taste.

I leaned over to the platform next to the puddle and followed the direction of Ah He's finger, and found that there really was something there.

However, compared with the previous year, it is much sparser.

On the other side, Zhao Ping was already working with a shovel. Zhao Qin took another shovel from the boat and handed it to Ah He. The platform was very small, and with two people working on each side, he couldn't help.

At this moment, the pump has already started pumping water, and it is a bit noisy.

Zhao Qin was about to jump back into the boat, but when he turned around, he saw a stone crab sticking its head out of a crevice next to him. He quickly reached out and pressed it into his palm.

Then I grabbed it and took a look. It was only about one or two taels at most. I definitely couldn't eat it, but I could use it as bait.

He took it on board, hung it on the hook and threw it into the water. Groupers like to eat this, so he planned to catch a bigger grouper.

The hook finally pulled two circles of line. This time I waited a little longer, about ten minutes. The tip of the rod suddenly sank, and the huge pulling force almost pulled the rod into the water.

Fortunately, he was still concentrating. He grabbed the rod and started pulling furiously. The fish was very strong, but judging from the force it exerted, it didn't look like a grouper.

It took nearly 20 minutes to pull the fish out of the water. Zhao Qin almost wanted to curse after just one look.

Because this is a red snapper, also known as an American red snapper. The price of this fish is very cheap locally, and it is estimated to be less than ten yuan per pound now.

The price is low for a reason. This is an alien species. As you can tell from the name, there are no wild fish in this area. Those caught in the sea are almost all fish that escaped from the net cages.

The reason why we raise this kind of fish is very simple. This fish grows fast, has strong adaptability and is resistant to harsh conditions. It is not easy to die and has a high yield.

As for the specific taste, the fish meat is relatively thick, with almost no small bones, and the fat content is also okay, but it just doesn't taste good.

Even compared with freshwater grass carp, Zhao Qin would rather eat grass carp than this stuff.
