The whole killer crab was tied up tightly by Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng.
Xia Pengjie then dared to come closer to take a look. He exclaimed in amazement: "The legs of this killer crab are too long, aren't they?"
Indeed, the legs of the killer crab are really thin and long compared to its crab shell, which looks very inconsistent. Fishermen usually grab its legs when catching killer crabs. Although they are very ferocious, as long as any leg is caught by the fishermen, the killer crab will lose its ability to kill.
Xiang Yang licked his lips. "The legs of this killer crab are not only long, but also very delicious. They are even more delicious than lobsters."
The killer crab has a thin shell and very full meat. About ten kilograms of crab meat can be taken out of a killer crab, especially the meat inside its crab legs. The meat is very tender and tastes very fresh, without any fishy smell. It is simply a holy product in the eyes of foodies.
Everyone looked at the killer crab in amazement.
Xiang Yang saw it and said with a smile: "Why don't we cast another net here and see if we can catch a few more killer crabs, then they will be enough for all of us to have a meal."
The crew members' expressions changed immediately. Even Fang Youqun, who was usually the most greedy, quickly waved his hands and said, "Captain, forget it. We dare not eat this."
Xiang Yang smiled and no longer insisted after seeing this. In fact, killer crabs mainly live in the deep sea. They rarely swim to the surface of the water. It is very lucky to be able to catch one. Even if Xiang Yang cast another net along the original waterway, it would be difficult to catch a second killer crab.
"In that case, I'll just sell this killer crab as soon as I take it back," Xiang Yang said.
"Let's sell it." Chen Qingsheng said, "Let's not talk about how this killer crab tastes. Just hearing the name makes us feel sick. Even if we catch a few more, we can still sell them for money."
"Besides, this killer crab is very expensive. How can we afford to eat it?"
Xiang Yang nodded. Indeed, the main production area of killer crabs is Japan, but the killer crabs in their country cannot even meet the demand of their own country and are basically not exported.
In China, the price of killer crabs has been driven up to nearly two thousand yuan per pound, which means that one killer crab is at least 20,000 yuan, which is much more expensive than ordinary lobsters. The crew members are really not willing to eat it at this price. Even if Xiang Yang treats them, they will still feel distressed to eat it.
"Continue to clean up the catch." Xiang Yang used a fishing fork to dig up the pile of catch. After roughly confirming that there would be no more dangerous marine creatures like killer crabs in the catch, he gave the order.
The crew took action immediately.
After the chaos caused by the sunfish and killer crabs, most of the fish have died. Even those that are still alive are foaming at the mouth. They have been out of water for too long, and even if they are placed in a live water tank, they may not be able to survive.
Xiang Yang felt a little distressed. There were several groupers in the catch, and now they could only be frozen.
Fortunately, they caught a sunfish and a killer crab, which made up for Xiang Yang's loss.
At this time, perhaps the fishy smell on the deck drifted away, two large birds flew over from a distance and circled above the fishing boat.
“Chiu!”
The Steller's sea eagle immediately let out a cry and rushed out like a sharp sword.
"Uh." Xia Pengjie also saw the big bird. He said, "Is that an albatross? Two of them. Captain, your sea eagle is really brave."
Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched. Albatrosses are the largest of all birds, even larger than Steller's sea eagles. Their wingspan can reach up to 3.7 meters. They not only have long wings, but also very sharp beaks. Facing such two huge creatures, the Steller's sea eagle actually dared to take the initiative to attack. It was really a bit brave.
"Although the Steller's sea eagle is not as big as the albatross, it is still stronger than the albatross in terms of fighting power." Xiang Yang looked up at the sky. "Although the albatross's beak is sharp, it is curved. Such a beak is very suitable for fishing, but not very suitable for fighting. The Steller's sea eagle's beak is different. If it pecks at the albatross's head, it will definitely peck a hole in it."
"Not only that." Xu Fang smiled and said, "The claws of the albatross are small and exquisite, a bit like a duck, and can paddle in the water to swim, but they have no attack power. And look at the claws of the Steller's sea eagle."
When everyone took a look, they immediately discovered that the claws of the Steller's sea eagle were not only thick and powerful, but also had very sharp tips.
"If these two albatrosses don't run away, they will probably stay here." Chen Qingsheng frowned and said to himself, "Did I not check the almanac before going out to sea this time? Why do I keep seeing these weird things?"
Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
I won’t talk about the taboos of the sunfish that went there first.
Spider-Man is even known as the killer crab.
Now the albatross was seen again, and the Steller's sea eagle pounced on it and killed it immediately.
Albatrosses, like sunfish, are also taboos for many sailors.
Many superstitious sailors believed that albatrosses were the reappearance of the souls of their companions who had unfortunately died at sea, and therefore believed that killing an albatross would inevitably bring misfortune.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem "The Rhymes of the Ancient Mariner" describes the story of how disaster befell a ship after an albatross was shot by a sailor.
Of course, this kind of thing has always been a case of believe it or not.
In the 19th century, many sailors were keen on catching albatrosses to enrich the monotonous life during the long journey and improve their food.
"Go get me a squid, I'll try to call back the Steller's sea eagle." Xiang Yang shouted.
"Call it back? Why would you call it back?" Fang Youqun asked in confusion, "Brother Yang, you don't believe it's the ghost of a shipwrecked sailor who has reappeared, do you?"
"I don't believe this, but albatrosses are a very rare protected animal. One less demise means one less, and their reproductive capacity is very low. Albatrosses are only able to reproduce after the age of ten, and can only lay one egg at a time." Xiang Yang said.
Xiang Yang wanted to call the Steller's sea eagle back mainly because he thought it would be a pity if the two albatrosses died, not because of any taboo.
As for the so-called animal protection, that is even more nonsense.
Let alone killing an albatross, if the Steller's sea eagle had the ability, it could even kill a panda and no one would be able to do anything to it.
Soon, Fang Youqun brought a living squid from the cabin to Xiang Yang. Xiang Yang grabbed the squid and ran quickly to the top of the cabin of the fishing boat.
