Golden Fishery

As night fell slowly, the sea breeze from the Atlantic Ocean began to grow stronger. In September, Newfoundland had become clear and crisp. However, in the South Atlantic Ocean, the sea breeze was still so warm that many fishermen were shirtless.

I ate rocks by the mountains, drank salt water by the sea, and caught silver pomfret, which the fishermen ate that night. There were also two golden mackerel, which Zach had already stewed. .

For silver pomfret, Qin Shiou is familiar with the method of pouring oil and stewing it. Zach is an experienced chef, and he chose a relatively rare method, which is salad silver pomfret.

According to Zach's instructions, the fishermen selected more than a dozen of the fattest fish, removed the gills, scales, and guts, washed them, cut them into sections, and marinated them with refined salt, chicken essence, cooking wine, green onions, and ginger.

Qin Shiou asked curiously: "Hey, it turns out that cooking wine, onions, ginger and garlic are also used to make fish in western food? Is this quite rare?"

Zach smiled embarrassedly: "No, Captain, the main reason is that you like to eat fish marinated in this way, so I did it because I have to take care of your taste."

"Oh, what a loud sycophant," Shaq teased with a laugh, and the others laughed.

Zach looked at Shaq and curled his lips, and said: "Hey, buddy, don't be sarcastic, if you also pay me six thousand yuan a month, then I will definitely cook for you every day, you want to eat shit, I'll just make fried shit..."

"Damn it, you only eat fried shit," Shaq said.

Zach shrugged and said, "Okay, that's salad shit, but your taste is really weird. Does salad dressing taste good with shit?"

The fishermen laughed again, and the bull whistled at Shaq and laughed, "Boss Shaq, you have been tricked!"

Shaq throws a piece of silver pomfret at Zac. The two were fighting on the deck.

The doormat grinned and packed up the marinated fish pieces, took them to the kitchen cabin and started cooking.

Qin Shiou stood at the door and asked, "Will you do it too?"

The doormat skillfully heated up the oil pan, and said with a smile, "Of course, of course. I am a doormat, and when I was in the army, I had to hand over the logistical matters to me. Anything that everyone didn't like was handed over to me."

Qin Shiou liked this middle-aged soldier very much, even though he was not young. But he is very young at heart, always smiling, when someone asks him for help, he never says much, and he will definitely help.

Wait for the oil to heat up in the gas bag.

Then dip the fish pieces with bread crumbs and put them in the pot, then take them out after the fish is fried, and mix the fish pieces with salad dressing.

Qin Shiou looked at it and was speechless. This dish is really simple, and it is not as complicated as his stewed silver pomfret.

But after eating a piece, Qin Shiou nodded in satisfaction. The taste is very good. The silver pomfret meat is delicious and tender, and the fish pieces are very crispy when fried in oil. With different flavors of salad dressing, it still tastes very good.

The stewed mackerel comes out of the pan, and each of the fishermen takes a lunch box and puts fish meat and fish pieces. With the roast beef brought from the island, and a bottle of cold beer for each person, a satisfying dinner came out.

Shaq ate it while counting his account. The wholesale price of silver pomfret was about five or six Canadian dollars a pound. Newfoundland could be more expensive, because the Atlantic Ocean does not produce this kind of fish very much. The Western Pacific and Indian Oceans are the ones that produce this stuff in abundance.

In this way, more than five tons of silver pomfret can also earn 60,000 to 70,000 quick money.

But the fishermen were not satisfied. A single bluefin tuna can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan. They rushed all the way to this sea area not for 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, not even enough for fuel, let alone labor costs.

Qin Shiou had other plans, why should these fish be brought back to Newfoundland for wholesale? Miami is not far from Bermuda, so why not just send it to Butler?

Because silver pomfret is full of meat, with few bone spurs and delicious meat, it suffered from overfishing in the past few years, but now the number is greatly reduced, and the value of single-selling in the seafood market has greatly increased. In some places, it has become a top-grade fish. Seafood treasures.

If it is retail, then it is no problem to sell this batch of silver pomfret for 200,000 yuan. This is the power of channels. Without channels, they can only be sold at a low price.

The doormat laughed by himself while eating fried fish and drinking beer. The bull next to him moved his butt and said, "Dude, don't laugh all of a sudden. This is like a madman. It's too scary. God, it's too scary!"

The doormat smiled and said, "This is a happy smile, isn't it okay?"

"Why are you smiling happily?"

The silent trigger put down the lunch box and said: "For you, such a dinner is very common. For us, with a high salary, you can eat seafood and drink beer in the sea breeze, and don't have to worry about cold arrows from the dark, that is Happy."

The doormat raised the bottle and said loudly: "Yes, guys, this is a happy life, come on, let's drink to happiness!"

The fishermen shouted cheers, raised their heads and poured beer into their mouths.

Shaq arranged for the fishermen to keep watch at night, and the bull led people to pack up the fishing rods hanging at the stern. No one was guarding at night, and there were no big fish that would bite the hook and take the fishing rods away, so they had to put them away now that they were not in use.

While packing up the fishing rod, the bull suddenly cried out in amazement: "Hey, God, there is such a thing?!"

Qin Shiou didn't care at first, the bull likes to be surprised, but after the other fishermen leaned over to look at it, they also exclaimed, which aroused his curiosity, so he walked over to have a look.

The bull was holding a small fish less than twenty centimeters in length. This fish was a bit like a hairtail, with a long and flattened body, the curvature gradually tapered from the head to the tail, a round abdomen, and a long upper jaw that exceeded the base of the pectoral fins.

On the whole, this fish looks like a saber, especially the caudal fin, which has a sharp knife shape. Its head and back are light blue, its sides are yellow, its belly is white, and its fins are also beige.

Qin Shiou knew what it was at a glance. There were many such fish living in the sargassum around the sunken ship. He had encountered it on the bottom of the sea just now, but because the fish were too small and the school of fish was not large, he didn't care.

Now it seems that this kind of fish seems a bit weird, otherwise the fishermen would not be so excited after seeing it, so he wanted to ask the identity of the fish, but he didn't need to ask, let alone the doormat who is not familiar with the fishery had already asked for him Leo: "What is this little fish?"

Shaq said with a smile: "This is the pearl of the Atlantic Ocean, man, it has a great origin, and it is a very precious fish."

"what exactly is it?"

"Florida knife anchovy!"

Hearing the name 'Sword Anchovy', Qin Shiou's heart moved, and he asked, "Sword Anchovy? Does this kind of fish grow in rivers and seas?"

River born sea mile long is a fishery jargon in Newfoundland, referring to fish that need to migrate to freshwater to spawn, but eventually return to the ocean to feed and grow, such as salmon.

The reason why he asked this question was because Qin Shiou thought of another very famous fish: Yangtze saury.

He vaguely remembered that the scientific name of Yangtze swordfish seemed to be swordfish. (to be continued)
