Chapter 103 Mackerel

Several boobies landed on the fishing boat with fish in their mouths, enjoying their feast.

"You're not afraid of people." Qiangzi was quite surprised.

You know, most birds are very vigilant and basically afraid of people.As soon as a person approaches, they immediately fly away.

The few boobies in front of me didn't take the fishermen seriously at all.

"So, I used to call them silly birds." Zhang Yaohua said with a smile.

Ah Hui and the others saw from the fish picked up by the boobies that the fish below were mackerel.

"It turned out to be a Mackerel."

Cheng Rongguang asked: "Is this kind of fish expensive?"

"It's not bad! It depends on whether it is small mackerel or large mackerel. Recently, small mackerel is more than 20 yuan per pound, and large mackerel is almost 40 yuan."

Mackerel is divided into large mackerel and small mackerel. Large mackerel can even exceed one meter, weigh [-] to [-] kilograms, and cost several hundred yuan each.

Small mackerel only weighs two or three pounds, and the price is not as good as that of large mackerel.

The only things that boobies can prey on are small fish, and even fish that are too big cannot be swallowed by them.

Now in November, it is not the most fat period for Spanish mackerel.

Normally speaking, starting from December of the lunar calendar is the time of year when the mackerel is at its most plump. At that time, the mackerel has more oil, good appearance, firm meat, and a mellow taste.

"This kind of fish is delicious. Just chop it into pieces and fry it until brown." Zhang Yaohua said.

This makes me want to eat it.

The meat of Spanish mackerel is tender and white, soft and glutinous, rich in nutrients, and the tail tastes particularly good. It is known as "the mouth of a pomfret, the tail of a mackerel".

"I think I've eaten it before, it's pretty good." Cheng Rongguang thought for a moment.

Ah Hui nodded: "My mother sent some to my aunt last year, but they were pickled."

Although he is out of town, his mother often tells him all the trivial things at home.

Talking to my mother on the phone is like talking on the phone, which is a shame for parents.Nowadays, it is very convenient to chat with WeChat. No wonder WeChat dominates the domestic social platform. Elderly people like to use it. It is easy to operate and can communicate without typing. Especially for video calls, there is no need to pay phone bills.

"It's best to eat it fresh. Steaming, frying, making fish fillets, making porridge, and even making meatballs are all very good," Ah Hui added.

It should be noted that it is best not to leave it overnight as it may cause poisoning.

In fact, quite a few marine fish are best not to be eaten overnight.Under the action of decarboxylase-containing bacteria, shrimp can deaminate the histidine in the meat to form histamine. When the histamine content in fish meat exceeds 50 mg per [-] grams, poisoning can occur.

The first net was hauled up, and the catch was okay, but most of it was small mackerel, weighing about one or two pounds.

"This one is big, at least ten pounds." Qiangzi picked up one of them.

He likes to catch fish, but there are no such big ones in his hometown.The Anhui fish in my own fish pond only weighs a few kilograms after being kept for a whole year.For fish raised in rural areas, the most you can do is cut some grass for them to eat. It’s amazing how big they can grow if they don’t feed them.

"I got three to four hundred yuan, put it away carefully and don't let it ruin your appearance." Ah Hui told him.

No matter what product it is, its condition is very important.

Cheng Rongguang is very serious about picking fish. He puts fish of different sizes into different frames and must arrange them neatly and meticulously.Ah Jiu put one piece crookedly, and he straightened it, almost using a ruler to measure it.

This reminded Zhang Yaohua of a video he had watched, in which a blogger uploaded a scene of his own watermelon planting.Good guy!All the watermelons have to be lined up in straight rows.

He smiled and said: "Brother Guang is still very particular. It looks much more comfortable, but it is a bit time-consuming." The fishing net continued to be lowered and started to circle around the sea area.

The school of fish did not run away at this time, but formed a huge vortex under the sea surface and kept turning in circles.

This is a very common phenomenon in fish schools.

When a large predator approaches a school of small fish, the small fish will instinctively group together and try to stay in the same direction as the predator, or in the opposite direction.

In this process, small fish will also be affected by the water flow generated by other small fish, and will be affected by physical factors such as their own inertia and steering moment, thus forming a rotating circular structure.

The study found that this circular structure is a complex and beautiful collective behavior displayed by small fish in response to predatory pressure.

It is not only an instinctive behavior formed during the evolutionary process and fixed by heredity; it is also a spontaneous phenomenon produced by the joint action of environmental factors and physical factors.

Those fish that were too small were thrown directly into the sea without harvesting.

The small fish that seemed to be dying were thrown to the boobies that landed on the boat, which led to more and more birds on the boat.

"Stop feeding them, there will be a boatload of bird droppings later." Zhang Yaohua shouted.

There have been boobies pooping on the boat.When the others saw it, they realized that Barbie was in trouble, and everyone immediately started chasing the birds away, unable to let them stay on the boat any longer.

Isn't this asking for trouble?

“I’m kind enough to feed you, but you still poop, that’s too much!”

Zhang Yaohua and the others chased the fish and caught several nets, with a catch of almost 20 kilograms.Even if it costs 60 yuan per pound, this is about [-] yuan.

Qiangzi and Cheng Rongguang, who had just joined, were secretly speechless.

No wonder I dare to give them such high wages and bonuses.

How is this different from picking up money?Is the money coming in too quickly?
Unfortunately, if you don’t have capital, you can’t learn.Such a ship costs millions. Who can afford it?
Moreover, if you have millions of dollars in capital, you don’t necessarily have to go overseas to make a living. There are many projects that can make money.To put it bluntly, you still need funds.

Without starting capital, it is difficult to do anything.

How many self-made rich people are there?Many of them have money and connections.

"Won't this turtle be released?" Qiangzi asked.

"Pry the barnacles off it first."

The turtle that was fished out was covered in barnacles, even on its abdomen.

This is a loggerhead (xi) turtle, with a brownish-red back, light brown head and sides, and yellow head, abdomen and jaws. It is also called a loggerhead sea turtle. It is the northernmost and southernmost species of marine turtles.

There are often red and black olive-colored algae, barnacles and melons growing on their backs.

"This thing is simply the psoriasis of the ocean." Ah Fai said with disgust on his face.

Ah Jiu and others casually helped it clean up most of the barnacles and prepared to send it back to the sea.

"Wait! There's more."

No need to guess, these words came from Cheng Rongguang's mouth.He scraped off all the barnacles from the loggerhead turtle one by one, and then returned it to the sea with great satisfaction.

When this loggerhead turtle goes back, shouldn't it be posted on WeChat Moments to show off or show off?

After doing this, Ah Jiu went to make food for everyone. He must try the fried mackerel, Qiangzi hasn’t eaten it yet!
Zhang Yaohua and others cleaned the deck together, and Cheng Rongguang scrubbed away all the bird droppings on the side of the ship.
