"Not bad, well done." Gao Chuang said with a smile: "I'll give you an extra bowl of fish blood soup later."
"Give me the knife." Gao Chuang took the knife from the boatswain, and then hit the back of the silver-bellied spotted man's head with the back of the knife.
"This is the back of its head. You hit its forehead."
The silver-bellied grouper has a very flat body and a long mouth, and this fish is very rare, so many people who specialize in killing fish mistakenly take its forehead for the back of its head.
The boatswain knew he had made a mistake and quickly pretended to accept it humbly.
Gao Chuang shook his head and handed the knife back to him.
"Xiang Yang, do you know what the three silver-bellied spotted treasures are?" Gao Chuang asked Xiang Yang with a smile.
Xiang Yang smiled. The taste of the silverbelly grouper fish was actually average. If it wasn't for the fact that it was barely related to isinglass, no one would buy the meat of this fish even if it was sold for a hundred yuan per pound.
So first of all, we must exclude the fish meat.
"I guess it's fish belly and fish blood. I don't know what the last treasure is." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"You guessed right." Gao Chuang nodded and said, "I won't talk about the fish belly, which is a well-known treasure. Its blood is also a treasure, containing a very rich amount of astaxanthin. As for the last treasure, it is its fish fat, which is the top raw material for fish oil."
While they were still killing fish here, someone was already setting up the pot over there.
No seasoning is needed to cook silverbelly grouper. Just add some ginger to remove the fishy smell and a little bit of salt. That’s all the seasoning. When eating, you can drizzle some chili or sesame oil according to your taste.
Although the boatswain had made a small mistake before, it was obvious that his craftsmanship was still very good. With just a pick of the knife, he removed the entire fish skin from the silver-bellied grouper. At the same time, the fish belly he cut was more neatly processed than the one cut by Chen Qingsheng.
"Let's fish for a while. This silver-bellied grouper will take a while to cook." Gao Chuang handed Xiang Yang a fishing rod and said.
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Fishing is not my strong point. Mr. Gao, do you want to go down to the bottom of the sea and have some fun?"
"Go to the bottom of the sea?"
Gao Chuang was a little hesitant. He had been wandering on the sea for most of his life, so he naturally had an adventurous spirit and yearned for the sea.
But this is Antarctica.
If you dive in Antarctica, you will freeze into an ice stick, right
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "The diving equipment on my boat has a warming function. I usually don't feel cold even when I dive more than a hundred meters to the bottom of the sea."
When Gao Chuang heard this, his eyes immediately lit up.
Even in tropical oceans, the water more than 100 meters below the sea has no temperature.
Xiang Yang said that he didn't feel cold when he was more than 100 meters under the sea. Conversely, the water under the Antarctic waters also has the function of keeping warm.
"Okay, then let's go down to the bottom of the sea and take a look." Gao Chuang agreed quickly.
Xiang Yang smiled and handed the fishing rod back to Gao Chuang, then said, "Mr. Gao, please wait here. I'll go back to the boat to get the diving equipment."
Gao Chuang said quickly: "No need, it would be too much trouble for you to walk there and back again. Come on, I'll go with you to your boat."
When Xiang Yang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing. It seemed that Mr. Gao was very anxious.
Gao Chuang was embarrassed. He was the boss of an ocean fishing company, but the diving equipment on his ship was not as advanced as Xiang Yang's. He would lose face if he could tell others about this.
However, Gao Chuang also knew that Xiang Yang's diving equipment were said to have come from scientific research laboratories, and it would be useless even if he had money without special channels.
In addition, Gao Chuang was mainly engaged in water operations, and underwater operations had never been his strong point, so Gao Chuang had no channels to purchase these advanced diving equipment.
Thinking of this, Gao Chuang couldn't help but look forward to this diving activity even more. He had been to Antarctica many times, but this was really his first time diving in Antarctica.
At the same time, Gao Chuang made up his mind that if he had a good harvest underwater this time and Xiang Yang's diving equipment was really that advanced, then after returning this time, he would also upgrade the diving equipment on the ship.
In recent years, the catches from both trawl and purse seine have been decreasing.
Bottom fishing may indeed be a new way out for these fishing companies and fishermen.
Xiang Yang looked at the expression on Gao Chuang's face and felt speechless. He thought to himself that he was the boss of such a large fishing company and yet he was so excited about a diving suit.
Since they have decided to go diving and fishing, it is definitely impossible for so many people to be waiting for Xiang Yang and Gao Chuang on the boat.
Xiang Yang gave thirty diving suits to Gao Chuang and asked him to organize thirty people to go into the water. He then asked Chen Qingsheng to distribute the remaining diving suits to the crew on his ship to see if they could find anything underwater.
After going into the sea, Xiang Yang discovered that although the water in this area was very cold, it was not a forbidden zone for life.
The first thing that caught Xiang Yang's eyelids was a dense layer of transparent seaweed.
These seaweeds should be a kind of food for Antarctic krill. Because Xiang Yang saw a large number of Antarctic krill among these seaweeds.
Not far behind Xiang Yang, Gao Chuang was extremely shocked.
Gao Chuang discovered that the diving suit Xiang Yang lent him was even more effective than he had imagined.
First of all, Gao Chuang discovered that this diving suit was designed to be perfectly streamlined. When he wore this diving suit, his swimming speed on the seabed was obviously much faster than his previous normal swimming speed.
Secondly, Gao Chuang discovered that the pressure caused by sea water pressure was also reduced.
If a person can dive to a depth of 100 meters wearing an ordinary diving suit, the diving suit on the boat can definitely dive to a depth of 150 meters.
The most important thing is that Gao Chuang discovered that this diving suit really has the effect of keeping out the cold. He is now in the icy Antarctic waters, but he does not feel cold at all.
Xiang Yang had no idea what Gao Chuang was thinking.
Now that he had entered the water, Xiang Yang naturally would not go in empty-handed.
After continuously diving underwater for seventy or eighty meters, Xiang Yang's feet finally touched the seabed.
"Huh?"
After reaching the bottom of the sea, Xiang Yang exclaimed in surprise.
Previously, Xiang Yang discovered a large number of unfamiliar seaweed and Antarctic krill in the surface and middle layers of the sea.
There's seaweed, and there's Antarctic krill.
There is plenty of food and the sea water is clean and clear, so according to Xiang Yang's estimation, there should be a lot of fish under this sea.
But the fact is just the opposite. There are very few fish species under this sea.
Xiang Yang looked around for a few minutes and found that there were no sea fish around except for a few fish belly spots. The most common life on the entire seabed were the shellfish and barnacles lurking on the beach.
