Chapter 119: Crab cage

"Boss, it's time to start the net!" Pan Peiyu greeted outside.
"Good, brothers, all get busy!" Xiao Peng walked out of the cockpit and operated the crane to help close the net.
The net catch is not much, only five to six hundred kilograms. Wen Jie took a closer look and said, "Boss, we have been running for so long at sea just to get big heads here? I don't think there are so many big heads here."
The big head fishy Wen Jie said was actually cod.
Cod is one of the largest fish caught every year in the world, especially in Western countries, because cod is one of the most popular fish for consumers in Western countries.
In Qindao, this kind of fish has hardly been a favorite for a few years, and the problem can be seen from the local people's name for this kind of fish-big head is fishy, ​​and the name does not look like it is delicious.
However, in recent years, it has become more and more on the market. A large part of the reason is that: the number of traditional fish that the common people like is decreasing. So big heads have also entered the businessmen’s vision. It’s better to sell badly than not to sell, right?
Moreover, the price of this fish is cheap in the Qindao aquatic market. When there are a lot of fish in winter, it is less than ten yuan a catty, which is considered cheap fish. People always feel that the fish is a low-grade fish.
In fact, this'big head fishy' is a good fish out of nowhere. It's just not suitable for the cooking style commonly used by Chinese people.
There are only three types of cod in the true sense: Atlantic cod, Pacific cod, and Greenland cod. The low-grade fish in the mouth of the people of Qindao is the Pacific cod.
Of course, there are many close relatives of him, there are at least fifty kinds, among which haddock, pollock, burdock, and Norwegian longbread cod are all very important economic fishes.
In particular, yellow-lined is regarded by the fresh people as a delicacy in the world. It is called "Mentai fish" and is one of the favorite sea fish of all fresh people.
Cod is very popular in European and American countries because of its more spiny meat and high protein content. They will slice the fish directly, leaving only the fish steaks for sale, and the price is not low.
But in Huaxia, because of its light taste and Huaxia’s cooking method is difficult to deal with its fishy smell, most of the time it can only be eaten with smoked fish. So it became a low-grade fish.
This is why Wenjie dislikes this fish.
Xiao Peng was very happy to see the fishy head, "Pan Peiyu, let's cook the hot pot for a while, remember to add the fishy fish steak. These fish don't need to be stored in the warehouse. Let's eat them these days."
"Good." Pan Peiyu answered as he sorted the caught fish.
"Now drop the crab cages directly, hang two big fishy heads in each cage as bait, throw the cages for two hours, and make a quick decision! Then I will drop anchor here for dinner." Xiao Peng gave another order that everyone could not understand.
Putting the crab cage is simple, hang dead fish and the like as bait in the crab cage and throw it into the seabed. But generally you have to wait one night or longer to harvest. What is the two-hour throw?
But after all, the captain had the final say, everyone was puzzled and dropped the crab cage, and entered the cabin to prepare for the hot pot.
Although there are air conditioners in the ship, it is still very cold under the cold sea breeze in the sea of ​​Okhotsk. Hot pot is the best food to keep out the cold.
"Xiao Peng, I see that the fishery resources in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk are not as high as I imagined. This net is so big and fishy, ​​it's not as good as our fishery." Yang Meng was frying cod steak on the side.
Cod fish has few bones. Cut two pieces of fish meat directly along the bones and peel off the skin. That is a good ingredient. And there is no thorn at all. Best for frying.
"What are you anxious about? Although it is the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, it belongs to the place where it meets the Sea of ​​Wa, and the water quality here is still close to that of the Sea of ​​Wa."
"Although the name of the country called the country of Japan is the country of Japan, it is actually the high seas and is surrounded on all sides. It is surrounded by Russia to the west, the country of North and South Bangzi to the south, and the country of Japan to the east. Such special hydrological characteristics cause its limited ability to treat pollutants. The environmental protection of the current Waguohai can be called a mess: a lot of domestic garbage from plastic surgery countries is thrown here. Russia used to dispose of waste radioactive materials here, and excessive oil extraction often causes oil spills. The original Waguohai is a biological paradise. There are more than 600 species of fish alone, and there are countless kinds of cetaceans. What about the current Waguo Sea? The harsh environmental pollution coupled with the overfishing and tricky whaling of the Wa country, there are very few fish resources there. Up."
"The place where we are now is the place where the Sea of ​​Okhotsk and the Sea of ​​Waguni meet. Do you think there will be a lot of catches here?" Xiao Peng ate the mutton and replied in a hurry.
"Boss, you know a lot." Wen Jie looked admired and slapped Xiao Peng flattery.
"Nonsense, do you think I came here blindly? Do you know how much preparation I have done?" Xiao Peng replied with a bullish look.
"Then what are we doing here?" Yang Meng asked puzzledly.
"And why is this crab cage thrown for two hours? What can you do in such a short time?" Wen Jie also asked everyone's doubts.
Xiao Peng stared with both eyes: "Aren't you talking nonsense? It's mid-October! And the sea area we belong to now falls under the jurisdiction of the Japanese nation. The fishing period of the queen crab by the Japanese nation starts on November 6 every year, and it is still During the arrest period, it would be no fun for us to be caught. This is a robbery, understand?"
"Is there a queen crab here?" Wen Jie's eyes brightened. The queen crab is a high-end ingredient.
"Nonsense, otherwise what am I doing here?" Xiao Peng glared at Wen Jie, "I'll understand. The purpose of my visit this time is to see if I can bring queen crabs and Kamchatka crabs to us. Go to the fishery to breed."
The Kamchatka crab in Xiao Peng's mouth was actually the famous king crab.
Although the name of the king crab is very domineering, in fact, the king crab is not a real crab. It is a crustacean of the genus Stonecrab of the Stonecrab family.
The way to distinguish a king crab from a real crab is very simple. First, a king crab has only six legs and two crab claws, while a crab has eight legs and two crab claws. The second thing is that all the crab legs of the king crab are bent backward, which is completely different from the real crab.
After Yang Meng heard this, he shook his head: "This is unlikely. Regardless of whether the queen crab or the king crab, the water quality requirements are very high. It is not easy to fish for 24 hours, not to mention our fishing grounds. The water quality is warm, which is not suitable for these two crabs."
Xiao Peng smiled mysteriously: "I have already thought of a way, I should be able to try it."
"What way?" Pan Peiyu was also curious. "If there is a way to bring these two kinds of crabs back to the Huaxia waters for breeding, it will be a boon for all foodies. It can really do a good job in the breeding of king crabs and queen crabs. The fishery selling these two things is enough for us to drink spicy food. Up!"
Xiao Peng said mysteriously: "Secret, anyway, I think of a way to try. Okay, everyone hurry up to eat, rest for a while after eating, we will go north to the open sea and head straight for Kamchatka after we collect the crab cages."
"Received." Yang Meng and the others finally knew the purpose of this trip, and they were not as insecure as they were at the beginning.
After resting for two hours, Yang Meng and others began to hurriedly put away the crab cages before Xiao Peng reminded him. This is a robbery, and being caught is not a joke.
Fortunately, the Arale was small and could not hold a few crab cages. Eight crab cages were quickly salvaged.
"Fuck, boss, there are so many crabs here?" Pan Peiyu was a little stunned. In each crab cage, there are more than ten snow crabs.
Xiao Peng smiled faintly: "There happens to be a group of snow crabs passing by. Our cage throwing position is better."
Wen Jie questioned: "Boss, how did you know that there are crabs passing through the seabed?"
Yang Meng smoothly knocked Wenjie's hairy chestnut: "So what are you curious about? Ask what you should ask, don't ask if you shouldn't. Do you think that the sea-viewing technique inherited by the boss is casually revealed? Work quickly, All the crabs are collected into the warehouse."
Xiao Peng looked at the crab cage: "Leave me two female crabs with seeds and one male crab. The rest of the female crabs are thrown back into the sea. The male crabs are frozen and stored." After thinking about it, "Keep a few more females." Crab."
Although the Aralei is relatively small, "the sparrow is small and has all internal organs", and the ship has quick-freezing equipment to maintain the quality of the catch.
Otherwise, I'm sorry for the price of this ship, isn't it?
There is still a big difference in size between female and male queen crabs. Because female crabs repeatedly lay eggs and incubate in a short period of time, reducing the number of peelings, the width of the carapace of female crabs is only about half that of males.
People on the Japanese side like to eat male queen crabs because they are bigger and the crab meat is more delicious.
But in China, no matter what crabs, females are more popular. After all, the crab roe of female crabs is more delicious.
Speaking of which, anyone who sees the queen crab in these crab cages will think that the queen crab is a real idiot! Uh, or all crabs are idiots!
Each crab cage actually has two entrances. Crabs trapped in the crab cage can enter from this entrance and escape from the other entrance. But such a situation has never happened.
Why is this so? First of all, crabs are greedy. If the bait in the crab cage is not eaten, they will not want to leave. Secondly, if there is a crab trying to crawl out of the exit, other crabs in the crab cage will catch it and prevent it from escaping, or squeeze together, no one can get out. Is a veritable pig teammate.
Xiao Peng put the selected queen crab into the living water tank, and at the same time cast spirit enlightenment on several crabs and infused them with magic power.
This is Xiao Peng's secret weapon, using Spirit Enlightenment to make Matsuba Crab obey orders and improve their physique with magic power. Use this method to bring them back to Qianliyan Fishing Ground, where they can multiply.
If it is really successful, Qianliyan Fishery can eat fresh and delicious queen crabs and king crabs at any time!
There is no need to look at the fishing season or import quotas.
Think about it all is very beautiful!
