"What kind of fish is this? It's so ugly." Su Liang and Su Xiaolin also saw the strange fish.
"Pull it up a little and take a closer look." Su Jing said. The three of them used force from three corners to pull the cage up, and the entire strange fish surfaced.
It looks very ugly, almost like a monster. Its skin is smooth and scaleless. The front half of its body is flat and disc-shaped, and its tail is cylindrical. It has two eyes on the top of its head and a huge mouth. It is as wide as its body, with a row of sharp teeth with inward tips on the edge of its mouth, and a pair of very wide fins on its chest, like its arms.
"This is an angler fish." Su Jing recognized it.
"It turns out that angler fish looks like this." Su Liang and Su Xiaolin have heard of angler fish, but they never knew that it looks like this. This kind of fish is very rare. Even if it lives on the beach, they have never been caught, so they don't know it at all. learn.
"Don't look at it like this, it's more than two hundred pounds per pound." Su Jing said with a smile.
"So expensive? This angler probably weighs twenty pounds, which is at least three to four thousand?" Su Liang and Su Xiaolin were both excited.
"This is still a conservative estimate. Such a fresh piece may be more expensive." Su Jing said.
Angler fish, commonly known as stutter fish, frog fish, sea frog fish, angler fish, etc., is a medium-sized benthic fish that generally lives at depths of 200-500 meters below the sea level. It is carnivorous and uses the fin spines on its head as a Bait, the spine at the front of the dorsal fin is elongated like a fishing rod, and there is a skin fold sticking out from the front end, which looks like a fish bait. The bait-like object is shaken to lure the prey. When the prey approaches, it suddenly bites and captures it, and then swallows it in one big mouthful.
Angler fish meat is rich in vitamins A and C. The meat is as dense as lobster, firm but not loose, the fiber is full of elasticity, it is more delicious than ordinary fish meat, and it is very rich in collagen. The tail muscles can be eaten fresh or processed into fish floss, etc. The fish maw and fish roe are highly nutritious foods. The skin can be used to make gelatin, the liver can extract cod liver oil, and the fish bones are the raw materials for processing boneless fish meal. It is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron and other trace elements, and its nutritional value is relatively high. Regular consumption of anglerfish liver can help protect eyesight and prevent liver diseases.
In RB Kanto, anglerfish is said to be the best in the world, and is known as "there are pufferfish in the west and anglers in the east".
"Get it up quickly." Su Liang couldn't wait, fearing that the three or four thousand fish would run away.
"Look, there are two more there." Su Xiaolin suddenly pulled the net and shook away some miscellaneous fish, revealing two other anglerfish, each weighing about ten kilograms. They were motionless and probably ate other fish. full.
The three of them hurriedly used net bags to get the three anglerfish out first.
"Ah Jing, don't we want to build a breeding farm, or keep them to lay eggs?" Su Liang said.
"I don't know which of these three is male and which is female." Su Xiaolin stared at the three anglers for a moment, but didn't find any difference.
"Haha, these three are both male and female." Su Jing said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Su Liang and Su Xiaolin were both stunned.
"Because the female and the male are all together, most of the body belongs to the female, and this part..." Su Jing pointed to the weird lumps on both sides of the anglerfish and said, "This part belongs to the male."
Su Liang and Su Xiaolin still had only a half-understanding, so Su Jing had to explain in detail.
When the anglerfish is young, the male and female fish are separated. The male fish is very small, only one thousandth of the female fish. When it is old enough to mate, it will lose its digestive system. In order to survive, the male fish will lose its digestive system. The fish must find a female and live on her body. The male fish bites the female, releasing an enzyme that dissolves the skin tissue and then bonds with the female.
In this way, the sperm of the male fish enters the body of the female fish and obtains the nutrients of the female fish at the same time. However, the male fish soon dies, leaving only a ball of sperm ready to fertilize the eggs when the female fish ovulates.
"The world is really huge and full of wonders." Su Liang and Su Xiaolin couldn't help but be amazed.
"That means that these three anglers can all lay eggs?" Su Liang asked.
"Theoretically, that's the case, but it's too troublesome to raise young fish. If we don't do this kind of breeding, we might as well sell them all." Su Jing built a seawater farm not really to raise fish, but to catch fish and raise fish. No matter what, it will take several months to harvest, which is too slow.
The three of them caught all the fish that were not too small and put them back into the sea. They harvested two to three hundred kilograms.
Su Jing immediately made a call to the boss of Jinyu Hotel, Boss Zhao, who bought seafood at a high price last time. After all, there were so many fishes that the uncle's seafood shop could not finish them all. Boss Zhao heard that there were three anglers weighing about ten pounds. Fish, as well as more than twenty large lobsters, immediately said they were coming. In fact, Boss Zhao is preparing to entertain some distinguished guests and needs fresh wild seafood. Su Jing is giving him timely help.
When Su Jing and the others moved two to three hundred kilograms of fish to Zhenhong Seafood Shop, they shocked the villagers again.
"A Liang, Xiao Lin, where did you get so many fish?" asked some men who had been fishing with Su Liang and Su Xiaolin a few days ago.
"Hehe, those who went hunting with A-Jing all said that A-Jing is unlucky, but you still don't believe it." Su Liang laughed and said with a high-spirited look as if it was his own credit, but in fact he was very careful not to say anything. The bait thing.
Several men were envious, thinking that they would indeed have meat to eat with Su Jing. There were no other fish in these two to three hundred pounds, and there were also precious species such as lobsters and anglerfish. The total value was estimated to be over ten thousand.
"Good boy, you really have everything you need." Su Zhenhong also laughed.
"Uncle, whatever fish you want, pick it first. Boss Zhao will come and collect the rest later." Su Jing said with a smile.
"Okay." Naturally, Su Zhenhong would not be polite to Su Jing, so he picked out some customers and ordered the items that were not available in his water tank. In fact, he only picked out a total of more than 20 kilograms.
"What a big anglerfish." A loud voice sounded from the crowd. A slightly stout middle-aged man and a woman were holding a little boy. Next to them, there was a sturdy middle-aged man walking over side by side. .
"Mr. Wang, welcome." Su Jing said with a smile. The slightly stout middle-aged man was Wang Zhuo. Su Jing had also seen the sturdy middle-aged man. I remember his name was Qian Shufeng. After he was kicked out of the western restaurant yesterday , Wang Zhuo took him to his restaurant for dinner.
"I was so greedy yesterday when I smelled your steamed meat, but I didn't eat a bite for my son's sake. I must try your cooking today." Wang Zhuo chuckled, appearing to be in a very good mood.
"Mr. Wang is here in person, so I won't hide my clumsiness." Su Jing nodded and smiled. He was quite fond of Wang Zhuo's polite attitude. Moreover, Wang Zhuo also punished Boss Li and Zhao Jun for him, venting his anger for him, even if they hired him for free. Wang Zhuo is also happy to have a meal.
"Mr. Su, can this seafood restaurant use so much fish?" Qian Shufeng looked at the twenty-kilogram angler fish with gleaming eyes.
"It's true that I can't use them all. I'm planning to sell these." Su Jing said truthfully.
"Can you sell me this angler fish? My restaurant is in urgent need of such a treasure." Qian Shufeng said excitedly.
"Uh..." Su Jing was stunned. The anglerfish was naturally for sale, but he had already told Boss Zhao that there were three of them. If the uncle picked them out, it would be okay, and Boss Zhao wouldn't have any objections, but selling them to others would not be a problem. It doesn't seem good.
