Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Chapter 726: Let me ask you if it tastes good!

"What, two dollars and a half per pound?!"

Ye Lin was so shocked that he couldn't hold the fish firmly. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and picked up the fish before it fell to the ground.

This, this, this kind of fish actually costs two dollars and fifty cents per pound. Isn’t that more expensive than the previous grouper?

Ye Lin couldn't help but ask his own doubts. Fu Shi had been helping Fu San a lot recently, so he knew the prices of these fish very well.

In fact, the price of swallowtail grouper is definitely not as high as that of rat grouper. The reason why it is only two yuan and a half per catty is because it is the recent Chinese New Year and fish products are in short supply in both the county and the city.

This is how the market works. When supply is less than demand, commodity prices will rise. Fu San made a lot of money this year, but the price he paid for the goods was also high.

After all, we can’t go out to sea during the Chinese New Year, so the catch basically depends entirely on the fishermen who fish regardless of weather.

After Fu Shi said this, Ye Lin also understood. Things were indeed expensive during the Chinese New Year. Among other things, Ye Jun had a batch of chickens and ducks that he had specially kept for sale during the Chinese New Year.

The price did not disappoint him, it was basically twice as expensive as it was before the New Year.

While the two were chatting, Fu Wan had already put on her coat and came out.

She didn't take off her mermaid costume. The magical thing about this costume is that it will dry up after just wiping it twice after getting ashore. If the weather is hot, there is no need to wipe it at all.

In today's weather, you can wear a cotton coat outside, and the shark coat becomes a very cool base layer.

It’s a pity that the ancestor only left behind one set, but when she thought about the fact that this thing was made of shark skin, Fu Wan felt relieved.

Even if she was given one more piece to study, she wouldn't be able to find the shark skin material.

After leaving the cabin, Fu Wan joined the team picking fish.

Fu Qing finally cleaned the conger eels from the fishing net. Seeing Fu Wan coming over, he deliberately dragged the full fish basket over to Fu Wan to take credit.

"Awan, look, they're all conger eels!"

These are basically seven-star conger eels about 30 centimeters long. They have a lot of bones, but if you stew them and stick them on a pancake, you will find they are so delicious.

"Yes, Ah Qing is really amazing!"

Fu Wan was generous with her praise and gave Fu Qing a thumbs up.

Fu Qing was very happy after receiving the praise. He then dragged over an empty fish basket and began to pick the fish on the deck.

There were mostly crabs in this net of fish. Fu Wan scooped them up a bit and picked up the fish closest to her and put them into the fish basket.

Boss Fu took the water pipe and prepared to pump water to rinse the fishing net. After this net was clean, he had to push it down to continue dragging the second net.

"Hey, you know what, this throat is pretty fat."

Although his hands were busy, his eyes were all on the seafood on the deck.

Seeing Fu Wan picking out several black throat fish that weighed at least two kilograms, the smile on Boss Fu's face appeared again.

The black-throated fish, also known as the black mullet, is the same species as the red carp that Fu Wan and her friends had caught before. The full name of the red carp is red mullet.

The black-throated fish is generally about 30 to 80 centimeters long, and the deep-sea black-throated fish can also grow to more than one meter.

This fish is black all over, especially its eyes, which are big and black. Because it feeds on small fish and shrimps, the teeth of this fish are very sharp and look like dog teeth.

The black-throated fish caught in this trawl are all quite large. This is because smaller black-throated fish generally grow in reefs in shallow waters. Only when they grow to more than 30 centimeters will they swim to live in the deep sea.

The black throat is very rich in fat and can be used for pan-frying, or the spines in the middle can be removed and made into sashimi.

Thinking of the melt-in-your-mouth texture, Boss Fu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Awan, take out two of these and make some sashimi for them later."

Although they had eaten dinner early before boarding the boat, Boss Fu felt hungry again when he saw the plump black throat fish.

"Okay, that's what I meant."

Fu Wan deliberately picked out the two largest black-throat fish and put them aside. Then she used a small shovel to dig through the pile of fish and picked out the remaining black-throat fish.

There are not many of these deep-sea fish alive after they come ashore. Fu Wan picked around and took out two large baskets of black throat fish, estimating their weight to be at least fifty kilograms.

Seeing that the trawl net was almost finished, Boss Fu called Ye Lin and Fu Shi.

"Alin and Shi, come and push the trawl down!"

"Oh, here it comes!"

Ye Lin and Fu Shi each lowered the trawl net into the water, while Boss Fu let out the hemp rope on the trawl machine in circles.

After all the trawl nets were put into the water, Boss Fu went to drive the boat and continue trawl.

The evening has just begun and he is full of energy.

After Fu Wan filled a basket with octopuses, she stood up straight and glanced at the Yangfan Qihang following behind.

Fu Liang's ship was farther away, and only a glimmer of light could be seen in the distance.

I don’t know what they have gained. They agreed to meet at 12 o’clock before getting on the boat. It’s only a little after 9 o’clock now, so it’s still very early.

Fu Wan and the other four had been busy for almost an hour, and they had almost finished picking out all the fish on the deck. Seeing this, she simply picked up the fish she had picked out in advance and prepared to make some midnight snacks.

In addition to the black-throated shrimp, there were also many palm-sized nine-segment shrimps in the net. Fu Wan took a few that had died not long ago, washed them and prepared to blanch them.

"Awan, is there anything you want me to do?"

Fu Wan looked up and saw Fang Min. She pointed to the largest fish with a black throat nearby and said, "Can you clean fish? I removed the bones from this fish and sliced it into pieces."

"I can do this!"

Fang Min picked up the knife and started working. She scratched the fish's scales twice with the back of the knife.

Then she took the knife and slid and pulled, and the fish bones separated instantly. The transparent fish meat made people drool just by looking at it.

Seeing this, Fu Wan couldn't help but praise: "Amin, I didn't expect you to have such skills!"

Fang Min was a little embarrassed, "Hey, I worked in the kitchen for a while before."

Being a soldier is not just about fighting. When you are on a mission, you have to take care of things like cooking by yourself.

Fang Min quickly processed the two fish according to Fu Wan's requirements, and the water that Fu Wan had boiled also started boiling.

After being busy for a while, Fu Wan knew that eating fish alone would not be enough to fill her up, so she specially cooked some noodles and put a few nine-segment shrimps in them.

Not a lot, just two or three per person.

There are also some octopus that are cleaned with salt. The locals like to eat them in the most direct way, blanching them in boiling water for a few seconds, then taking them out and biting into them to enjoy the juice.

However, this also has a disadvantage, which is that your mouth will be full of ink, pitch black.

"Almost done, hurry up and get a bowl to serve the noodles!"

"Amin, please help Aqing get a bowl later."

After Fu Wan gave Fang Min her instructions, she brought Boss Fu's noodles to him.

In the cockpit, Boss Fu was still concentrating on driving the boat.

"Dad, I've put the noodles here for you. Eat them while they're hot."

"Okay, Awan, have you dealt with the black throat?"

Boss Fu was obsessed with sashimi. Seeing him like that, Fu Wan laughed out loud, "It's done, I'll bring it to you later!"

She just specially prepared a sauce and was ready to try whether the black throat sashimi was really that delicious!
