Speaking of which, silver cod is also one of the fish with extremely high nutritional value, especially suitable for children to eat. There are often counterfeit and inferior products on the market, or inferior products passed off as good ones. It is not easy to eat the real silver sturgeon from Antarctica.
Only those who have some knowledge of silver sturgeon can identify the real silver cod.
The silver sturgeon from Antarctica generally has snow-white meat and very fine scales, and it does not feel rough to the touch.
From the appearance, the silver sturgeon has a round body and the slices cut are round.
In the icy waters of Antarctica, while most fish use their swim bladders to control buoyancy, silver cod rely on oil or fat.
Therefore, even if it is real silver cod, the fat content in its meat is higher than that of other fish.
For people with weak digestive function, the amount consumed each time should not be too much.
However, the fat content of silver sturgeon is far less than that of cod, so it fully complies with international health standards.
In fact, most of the silver cod circulating in the Chinese market are not caught by domestic fishermen, but mainly come from Australia and New Zealand.
The silver cod of these two countries all comes from the Antarctic waters.
This indirectly proves that although my country is a major fishing country, it still has a long way to go before becoming a fishing power.
"Brother Bin, let's go." Xiang Yang said to Chen Bin with a smile.
"Wait a minute."
Chen Bin waved his hand and said, "It's rare to encounter the best pomfret in the world. Are you planning to just catch one net and stop there? There's no rush to eat silver sturgeon. Wait for me to get on the boat and catch one net of the best pomfret. Hurry up and catch another net yourself. This fish is very valuable."
After listening to what Chen Bin said, Xiang Yang smiled gently.
"Okay, Brother Bin, you go ahead and do your work. There's no rush for the silver sturgeon." Xiang Yang said politely.
Xiang Yang has already explained why the pomfret appeared in Antarctica, but Chen Bin still doesn't believe it. So let him try it himself.
After Chen Bin left, Fang Youqun rubbed his hands together and said expectantly, "Brother Yang, should we try to catch another fish?"
Xiang Yang smiled and pointed at the sea surface and said, "Look what that is."
"floating ice?"
"There may be an active volcano under the waters we passed just now, so the temperature of that water is much higher than other waters in Antarctica. This is also the fundamental reason why the pomfret can live in that waters. Now there are floating ice on the sea again. Obviously, our ship has left that sea area, and now the sea water under our ship is cold." Xiang Yang said to everyone.
“Woo—”
At this moment, the icebreaker responsible for clearing the way in front blew a long whistle.
Then, from farther away, a deeper whistle sounded.
In the distance, a dazzling white light appeared.
"What's going on?" Xiang Yang asked puzzledly.
"We encountered a processing and transport ship." Chen Qingsheng whispered to Xiang Yang.
"Processing and transport ship?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.
"It's not easy to come to Antarctica, and because of the floating ice, large ships cannot enter many sea areas. So a very special group of fishermen was born in Antarctica. They don't fish themselves, but drive processing ships, drifting in the relatively warm waters of the Antarctic Circle, specializing in purchasing the catch from passing ships along the way, then processing them and transporting them back." Chen Qingsheng explained.
Xiang Yang nodded. The processing and transport ship was ridiculously large. It was at least two hundred meters long across the water. It was basically an oil tanker.
Gao Chuang did not order the fleet to stop sailing.
The fleet continued to sail forward, but the speed had slowed down a lot.
Xiang Yang and his crew members crowded on the deck, looking at the blond and blue-eyed exotic faces on the huge processing and transport ship opposite.
"Could this be the outsider that Boss Gao mentioned?" Xiang Yang murmured in a low voice.
Finally, the fleet slowly stopped, about two hundred meters away from the huge processing ship.
"Xiang Yang, get on the icebreaker. We may have to take a kayak to the other ship in a while." Gao Chuang's voice came from the walkie-talkie on Xiang Yang's chest.
Xiang Yang said quickly: "Okay, I'll be right there."
After saying that, Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng, "Master Chen, I have never dealt with these people. How about you come with me?"
Chen Qingsheng quickly shook his head, "Captain, you are putting me in a difficult position. Not to mention that I have never dealt with these people, I can't even understand their bird language."
As he spoke, Chen Qingsheng made a helpless gesture towards Xiang Yang, indicating that he really could not do anything.
There was no other choice, Xiang Yang had to go through the exploration board and get on the icebreaker by himself.
The captains of other ships also came over one after another.
"Mr. Gao, I'm here." As soon as Xiang Yang arrived on the icebreaker, he saw Gao Chuang whispering something with his first mate.
"Oh, okay, you have a drink first. I will negotiate with the other party later. If we reach an agreement, you can take a look at the boat to see what catches you don't want to take back, or if there are any catches that need to be dealt with urgently. If so, make a list first and sell them directly to the other party later." Gao Chuang said.
Xiang Yang felt confused.
Clearly both sides had stopped, but no one from the other side was seen coming over, nor was Gao Chuang seen bringing anyone over.
Didn’t Gao Chuang say that he wanted to negotiate with the other party first
How can we talk if no one is going there
Chen Bin seemed to see Xiang Yang's confusion. He smiled and said, "Why, do you find it strange? Obviously both parties need this deal very much, why doesn't Mr. Gao bring people over immediately? Why is the other party so patient?"
Xiang Yang nodded, "It's a bit strange."
Chen Bin smiled and said, "Take your boat for example. You have pomfret, Antarctic sturgeon, and ice fish on board. Do you dare to let those blond guys on board?"
"What's there to worry about? Don't they dare to rob us?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.
"Our numbers are at least several times theirs, so of course they dare not rob us. But not every fleet is as big as ours, and not every country has the public security we have at home. This kind of transaction is not protected in the first place. When the strength of both parties is unequal and one of them has very precious catches, isn't it natural for them to rob us?" Chen Bin said with a smile.
Xiang Yang: “…”
It was the first time that Xiang Yang heard someone talk about robbery so openly.
However, Xiang Yang knew that what Chen Bin said was really possible. After all, this was Antarctica, a place where no one could get any help from heaven or earth.
"Then are we just going to waste time like this? As long as it's a transaction, we will have to meet in person, right?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.
