Back To the Small Fishing Village In 1982

Chapter 163: Dealing with bomb fish

Views:

"Ah, is that a school of cucumber fish?"

“It glows?”

"It's a school of cucumber fish..."

“It turns out that schools of cucumber fish really glow in the sea~”

"Shit, we actually encountered a school of cucumber fish..."

Not only the young men, but also the fat man and his friends were pleasantly surprised. Their eyes were full of rage, and they all turned around and asked, "Are there any fishing nets? Are there any fishing nets on the boat?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Are there any fishing nets on board?"

The young people were a little confused when they were asked this question.

"Fishing net?"

"No!"

“Why do we bring fishing nets?”

"Ah~ No fishing net?" Everyone could hear the disappointment in his tone.

Ye Yaodong was also very disappointed, but he just thought about it. This is a yacht. They are out fishing and it is impossible for them to bring fishing nets. They are not invited to catch fish, but he still feels really sorry.

Hong Wenle also felt a little bit sorry, but he was not too disappointed. He just felt very curious. This was also the first time he saw cucumber fish glow in the sea.

"I didn't bring a fishing net, so it's a pity to miss it, but it's okay to see it. You don't have to catch it."

Several people rolled their eyes in their hearts. Only rich people like them would say such things without caring.

It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

They looked at the group of big yellow croakers eagerly, feeling very uncomfortable. It was like the money was falling right in front of them, but they couldn't reach out to pick it up. It was so frustrating.

The reaction of the group of young people was different. They were discussing excitedly and watching with pure appreciation. Even when the bait on the hook was bitten, they just picked it up casually, and when they saw that it was a yellow chicken fish, they threw it aside indifferently and did not continue to put bait.

However, when Sun Zhiming was reeling in the line, he was surprised to find that what he had caught was actually a big yellow croaker.

"Ah? Big yellow croaker! Am I lucky? I actually caught a big yellow croaker? I didn't even think about catching it..."

"Ah? You actually caught a big yellow croaker? I want to catch one too!"

"so big… "

"That one must be several kilograms, right? I want to catch one too!"

"I also want!"

Now the others also became nervous and quickly followed suit, taking bait and throwing hooks at the group of big yellow croakers.

If none of them caught it, they would just watch and admire it and let the fish swim away, but since someone caught it, the others certainly couldn't let it go.

Ye Yaodong and others had no tools and stood there like a background board. They could only watch with their chins supported and listen to their friends sighing.

"It's better not to let us see this. It's really uncomfortable."

"That's right… "

"My heart feels like it's being scratched by a cat..."

He was also upset. "Just wait and see! The night is still long. It's just the beginning. You may see some rare fish later. It will definitely be more uncomfortable then."

“It’s not easy to make some money…”

Everyone turned their gaze away only after the group of big yellow croakers swam away.

Not all of those young people caught the big yellow croaker. Only three out of six did.

The fish Sun Zhiming caught was the biggest, looking to weigh seven kilograms, while the ones caught by the other two were only a little over three kilograms. He was extremely happy.

But before he could finish being happy, he heard another exclamation from his friends.

Ye Yaodong and his colleagues also shifted their attention from the big yellow croaker to Hong Wenle, who was fishing with a fishing rod. They saw him reeling in and out the line with a look of joy on his face, and the fishing rod was bent into a large arc.

They all craned their necks, watching and discussing in low voices.

"What kind of fish is this? It looks very big!"

"I feel like the curvature of this fishing rod should be larger than that of the amberjack we just caught!"

"It seems that big fish are not easy to catch."

"I don't know what good stuff this is!"

After a long period of reeling and releasing the line, the big fish was no longer able to struggle. When Hong Wenle lifted it out of the water, everyone stared with wide eyes.

“It’s a bomb fish!

"Shit, it's a bomb fish!"

"Wow, it's so big, one meter, right? It must weigh dozens of kilograms. No wonder the fishing rod is bent like that. I was worried that it would break."

"Damn, I really want a fishing rod..."

Ye Yaodong's heart was in turmoil, and he felt a little envious, but now he could only think about it.

They were exclaiming and discussing in low voices here, while a group of people over there were cheering loudly and happily.

"Ah... I also want to feel the strong pulling force of the bomb fish and experience the thrill of fighting between mermaids and seamen..."

"Why don't we have this luck?"

"Didn't we just start fishing for a while?"

"Can this fish be used to make sashimi?"

The best way to eat bomb fish is to make sashimi. Its scientific name is bonito. Because it belongs to the tuna family, many people also call it "little golden tuna".

This one should be about 1 meter long, with a spindle-shaped body, blue, thick, scaleless, smooth surface, and a very developed tail fin.

Hong Wenle smiled and said to Ye Yaodong: "Comrade, I have to trouble you to help me bleed again. Thank you very much."

"It's okay. I take money from people and do things for them. That's what I should do."

"I'll ask Wang Maoquan to give you a higher reward when we get back."

"Okay! Thank you very much."

He didn't say it was not necessary. He earned the money through his hard work and he deserved it.

This bonito was much bigger than the yellowtail. After removing its gills, he cut a slit in its tail and threw it into the bucket to speed up the bleeding.

By the way, take out the amberjack and remove its internal organs. Like blood, this substance is also very easy to breed bacteria.

The reason why we didn't remove the internal organs directly just now is that we can do these actions after bleeding to avoid dirtying the whole fish.

After the bonito has bled, he will also clean its internal organs.

Since you are working for others, you must do it well.

In later generations, the price of a bonito that was not bled was only about 10 yuan per catty, while the price of a bonito that was bled could reach about 100 yuan per catty, a ten-fold difference in value.

He is not sure about the current price, but there is definitely a big difference.

Because bonito that is not bled cannot be made into sashimi. The fish used for sashimi needs to have very pure meat. If it is not bled, it will contain blood and few people would be able to eat it.

However, not all fish are bled.

The purpose of bleeding is to improve the meat quality and commercial value. Fish that are small in size and have low commercial value are rarely bled because the cost outweighs the gain.

While he was processing the fish, they caught a lot of fish, including sea bass, yellow bream, black bream, but the most was yellow croaker.

I really encountered a school of yellow croaker fish. I heard that yellow croaker fish do not have a fixed place to move around, and they will not stay in a sea area for more than two hours.

I guess it won't be long before it swims away.
