My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 204 Large Yellow Croaker

In fact, there is no need for Xiang Yang to issue this order at all. When a group of crew members heard Xiang Yang say that these golden thread fish can be worth 100 yuan a catty, they have already taken care of them, and they will definitely ensure that these golden thread fish All freshly returned to the sea area of ​​Qinglong Bend.

A group of people with great drive.

Fang Youqun muttered softly while cleaning up the catch, "It's a pity that the sawfish got away, otherwise that sawfish would be worth more than all these fish combined."

Xiang Yang smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes focused, and he saw a touch of golden yellow under a pile of squid.

Xiang Yang immediately ran over to remove the squid on top.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were drawn to that place.

Without him, this fish is too famous.

With that golden appearance, almost no one has never heard of its name.

"Brother Yang, could it be?" Fang Youqun asked in shock.

"That's right." Xiang Yang took a deep breath and immediately picked up the fish, "This is a real big yellow croaker."

"hiss!"

Suddenly there was a sound of gasping for air.

Fang Youqun immediately ran to Xiang Yang, "Brother Yang, I'm going to raise this fish."

"There's no need to keep it." Xiang Yang sighed, "This fish can't survive anymore."

Yellow croaker is a fish species in relatively deep water. If they hadn't caught them after swimming to the submerged layer by themselves, they would almost die when they came out of the water.

It may be an exaggeration to say that water will die, but the truth is more or less the same.

People who have ever fished in the sea know that many deep-water fish will have a bulging bubble in their mouth after being caught.

That bubble is actually the swim bladder.

If the deep-water fish leaves the deep-water area suddenly, the swim bladder will immediately expand and even explode due to the change in pressure. At this time, the only way to save the deep-water fish is to immediately deflate the swim bladder with a deflation needle.

Once the fish opens its mouth and the swim bladder can be seen with the naked eye, even the Great Luo Immortal will not be able to save it.

"Then what should we do?" Fang Youqun asked.

"Take an empty foam box and freeze this large yellow croaker."

Fang Youqun immediately complied.

A large yellow croaker is definitely worth having a separate foam box. The price of large yellow croaker is very expensive, and it is a fish that can be in the hall of elegance.

Especially in the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, a banquet in Wenzhou may not have abalone wing belly, but a large yellow croaker is absolutely indispensable.

Even in the thinking of the older generation of Wenzhou people, whether there is a large yellow croaker at the banquet is a sign of the formality of the banquet. If this hard dish is not included in a banquet, the seriousness of the situation is comparable to that of missing the bride at a wedding.

There are also many bosses in Shanghai who love this kind of fish. When they talk about eating and drinking, if this fish is missing in the question, they will feel ashamed and lose their tone.

In fact, the real name of the large yellow croaker is Shitoaba, which is named after the otoliths hidden in its head.

Tu Benjian wrote in "Sea Taste Suoyin": "Yellow croaker is called the stone head, and there are two white stones hidden in the brain, so it is named."

Li Shizhen also wrote in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "It was born in the southeast sea. It is shaped like a white fish, with a flat body and weak bones. The thin scales are yellow like gold. There are two white stones at the head, which are as clean as jade."

When it comes to Shishou, we have to mention the origin of the word Shishou.

The name "Stone Head" is said to have been bestowed by the King of Wu.

According to historical records, in the tenth year of Helu, Dongyi invaded the state of Wu. The king of Wu personally led troops to conquer and expelled Dongyi to the sea. The two sides faced each other on the sandbar for more than a month.

Due to the strong wind and waves at sea, the grain transport ship could not arrive, so King Wu burned incense and prayed. When he asked for God's blessing, he suddenly saw "golden" approaching from the water on the sea, cruising around King Wu's fleet layer by layer, and the scene was very spectacular.

The king of Wu ordered people to fish up the fish and cook it. The soldiers praised the fish's delicious taste, so the morale of the three armies rose and defeated Dongyi in one fell swoop.

When King Wu returned, the remaining yellow croakers on the boat had been dried, but they still tasted delicious, so King Wu added the word "fish" under the word "beauty", which means "鲞" fish. Since the unnamed fish is golden in color and has a hard rock-like bone in its head, it is called totoaba.

In fact, totoaba does not just refer to yellow croaker.

Rockfish is a collective name for about 160 species of fish in the family Perciformes.

These fishes all belong to the family Sclerophyceae of the class Osteichthyes and are so similar in appearance that in real life many people can tell the various cooking methods of yellow croaker, but the difference between large yellow croaker and its brothers is not clear. At a loss, it is really unclear.

"Brother Yang, is that big yellow croaker worth anything if it's dead?" Fang Youqun asked after running back from the big yellow croaker.

"Nonsense, one of the four traditional seafood in our country, the most important economic fish in the coastal waters of our country, do you think it is worth money?" Xiang Yang asked rhetorically.

The price of a wild adult large yellow croaker can be worth at least several thousand yuan.

The one Xiang Yang caught weighed four to five catties, even if it was dead, it would be worth tens of thousands of yuan if sold.

Xiang Yang asked someone to remove all the squid piles. He wanted to see if he could find a few more large yellow croakers. As long as he could find a few more of this valuable and rare seafood, it would be worth the catch this time.

It's a pity that Xiang Yang searched all the sea fishes and this one was the big yellow croaker.

However, Xiang Yang did not find nothing. In the process of searching for the big yellow croaker, Xiang Yang also found four big lobsters. Big lobsters are very easy to get caught in the net, even if they are not in the fishing net, they are easily caught by the fishing net When I brought them out of the water, these big lobsters were all relatively big, each weighing three to four catties, and calculated to be thousands of dollars in income.

"Put these four big lobsters in the water tank." Xiang Yang said to stop Chen Qingsheng from opening the live water tank.

According to Xiang Yang's thinking, it will take a long time before he goes out to sea this time, and he will definitely encounter other rare catches along the way. The living water tank is not something that thousands of worth of seafood can live in.

He Mingde looked at Xiang Yang with a smile, "Xiaoyang, I only encountered the totoaba a few times a year in the previous fleet, and we only went to sea a few times, and I have already encountered the totoaba twice. right?"

Xiang Yang nodded with a smile, "Yes, that's right, I met a small yellow croaker last time, and this time I caught a big yellow croaker. It would be great if I could catch a yellow-lipped fish sometime."

The most valuable of all the cichlids is undoubtedly the yellow-lipped fish, especially the fish fat of the yellow-lipped fish is known as "expensive as gold". In Huangqi Town, Lianjiang County, Fujian Province, there is a story about "a poor man gets rich overnight":

An old bachelor over half a century old from a poor family picked up a dead 100-jin fish in the sea not far from the shore and sold it to a fishmonger for 3 million yuan. The 100-jin fish was the yellow-lipped fish .
