Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 207 Bangzi’s fermented fish
  There are two fishing boats in Bangzi, and they are fishing for rays.

There are many rays nearby, and their sparse shadows can be seen from the sea surface, all of which are the size of lotus leaves. Thinking about it, there are a lot of microorganisms in this sea area, which is why so many rays gather together.

From time to time, rays can be seen "flying" out of the sea, soaring more than ten or twenty meters above the sea.

Manta ray has certain edible value. The meat is tender and delicious, with more meat and less bones. It is generally suitable for cooking methods such as braised, braised, fried, and braised.

Their prices are relatively close to the people, and you can even buy them for a few dollars in some places.

Of course, there are actually many varieties of rays, and some varieties are quite expensive.

"Brother Hua, do you want to lower the net?" the crew member asked.

In this case, there may be a conflict with the stick.

All conflicts in the world originate from competition for resources. On the sea, collisions between fishing boats are often a robbing of fish resources.

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "Lower the net, but let's put it deeper."

What he is interested in is naturally not the rays here, but the deeper marine products.

After notifying the other boats, everyone started to move, not paying much attention to the two fishing boats of Bangzi.

Do you still need to be timid when facing a stick?
  Besides, when it comes to numbers of people, they are the only ones who should be afraid of them. Not long ago, all the Filipino maids sank into the sea. If Bangzi was provocative, they would not mind sending him down to feed the sharks.

On the high seas, the laws of various countries are ineffective, and the death of a few people is nothing.

On the two fishing boats not far away, the stickmen naturally noticed those Chinese fishing boats. The tonnage is larger than theirs and the number is larger, so they dare not act rashly.

When they discovered that Chinese fishing boats were casting deep nets, they even laughed out loud.

Do these Chinese guys know how to fish?
  Are you a newbie?

But that’s fine, as I’m not robbing them of the rays here.

Although the price of ray is not high, it is very popular in their country and is even the top ingredient in their Jeolla Province.

Generally speaking, rays are used to make fermented fish in their country.

Every country seems to have one or two unpleasant dishes that people in their own country like very much but foreigners find difficult to accept.

Like China's stinky tofu, Xiaoli's natto, and Sweden's canned herring, South Korea also has its "special delicacy", which is fermented fish made from rays.

We know that rays are close relatives of sharks and do not have kidneys and bladders, so they can only detoxify through the skin, resulting in a large amount of uric acid on their surface, which is also the main source of odor.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that most of the ways to eat rays around the world are to eat them as soon as they are fresh to avoid a lot of odor caused by fermentation.

However, Bangzi went his own way and had to put the rays in the cold storage to let them ferment naturally. When the rays began to ferment, the urea in their skin was converted into ammonia. After a month, a large amount of "fragrance" Just spread it out and start eating.

And it was when the taste reached its peak that Bangzi took it out, sliced ​​it, and ate it raw.

It is said that in order to cater to the tastes of foreign tourists, they have made adjustments in the way of eating.

Use spicy seasonings, such as chili, garlic, and kimchi, and eat them with boiled pork slices and ray fillets to mask the strong smell.

Our stinky tofu smells bad but tastes delicious. But Bangzi's fermented stingray is different. It smells the same as it tastes. It's just as bad.

As a result, although they are fishing boats from two countries, they are in peace for the time being and do not invade each other.

"They come all the way to the high seas to catch stingrays, are they sick?" the guy next to Zhang Yaohua complained.

"Perhaps this kind of ray is very expensive in my country!" someone next to him speculated.

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain.

"How far is this? People can go to Africa to import this kind of fish." Zhu Weiguang said with a smile.

He had heard about some things about Bangzi.

Every year, Bangzi imports large quantities of rays from around the world. This is a bit like how they import large amounts of Chinese cabbage from Shandong to make kimchi.

"Ah! Can I earn back the freight?" someone asked in surprise.

"The cost of sea transportation is not high, and the price of rays in South Korea is actually pretty good. The imported price of one pound of frozen fish is about US$3." Zhu Weiguang told everyone.

In RMB equivalent, it costs almost twenty yuan per pound.

This kind of price is actually relatively cheap in South Korea. Their prices are high, and a big cabbage can be sold for dozens of yuan.

That kind of beef is even more ridiculously high.

Therefore, some people always say that Bangzi’s salary is high. Incomes of [-] to [-] yuan are very common in South Korea, but they don’t understand the prices there at all.

They can't even afford fruits and vegetables. How can they be considered a developed country?

Some time ago, a blogger on our Internet fed watermelon to pigs, which directly caused many sticks to break the defense.

In South Korea, bananas, watermelons, etc. are all high-end fruits, so how can we just squander them? You have to keep the watermelon rinds for eating, let alone feeding the pigs.

It is said that when they visit friends, they bring gifts instead of fruits but toilet paper.

At this time, the fishing boat on the other side of Bangzi had a great harvest, and all they caught were stingrays, which made them very happy.

Zhang Yaohua, on his side, also started preparing to set up the net.

"Coming, coming, all ready."

As the fishing net comes out of the water, the seafood in the fishing net is finally revealed to everyone.

"Fuck! Am I reading it right?"

I saw that the fishing net was full of sea crabs, and they were huge.

"It's strange, it's strange, this is a temperate sea area! How come there are king crabs?" Zhu Weiguang was also confused.

He is no stranger to king crab and has eaten it many times.

King crabs, also known as stone crabs or rock crabs, are crustaceans of the Stone Crab family. They are not true crabs. They are mainly distributed in cold seas.

For example, there are many in the North Pacific, especially in the Bering Strait, and close to Antarctica. Some studies have even shown that they have reached the point of flooding and harming the marine environment.

The main reason is that the reproductive capacity of king crabs is too amazing. It is said that each female crab can give birth to nearly [-] surviving baby crabs every year. Looking at it this way, it's really scary.

Therefore, fishing for king crabs can be said to save the ecological balance of the ocean to a certain extent.

"Isn't it because the king crabs couldn't stand the excavating the sea when they were young, so they moved south?"

"Hard to say!"

In fact, in the deep sea, the temperature of the sea water is not high, so it is not surprising that there are king crabs. We just habitually believe that king crabs usually appear in high-latitude waters.

"Why do you care so much? Just get it and that's it." Someone else said.

As long as you can make money, why should you pursue it? They are not scientists.

The Bangzi fishing boats not far away also saw the situation here, and their eyes widened.

"Quick, let's fish it out too."

"But we didn't bring the deepnet!"

They came out this time mainly for the rays.
