The toadfish, also known as the anglerfish, is one of the ugliest fish in the ocean and is also a rather unique species.

Fishermen have only caught female anglerfish; they have never seen a male.

Because this is a hermaphroditic fish, when the male encounters a female, it bites her, releases an enzyme that dissolves her skin tissue, and then they bond together.

For male fish that cannot find a female, they will adopt another way to survive: they will change sex to become female and wait for a male to appear.

Despite its ugly appearance, the anglerfish is a treasure trove of nutrients.

Monkfish has a firm texture, similar to lobster, with elastic fibers and a more delicious flavor than other fish, and is rich in collagen.

Fish maw and fish roe are both highly nutritious foods. Their skin can be used to make glue, their liver can be used to extract fish liver oil, and their bones are the raw material for processing fishmeal.

Monkfish liver is even known as "sea foie gras" and is said to have skin-beautifying properties that clear heat and detoxify.

In Japan, anglerfish is especially popular and is considered a delicacy, with the saying "Pufferfish in the west, anglerfish in the east".

However, in this era, toadfish could not fetch a good price due to their ugly appearance.

"Toadfish, bro, you're really lucky."

Feng Ye wasn't envious; there were plenty of opportunities, and they had only just arrived.

Based on his experience from his previous life, during typhoons, the wind and waves are so strong that many seafood items are inevitably swept away by the waves. The lucky ones manage to return, while the unlucky ones are left stranded on the beach.

He said he came to the beach for a stroll, but actually he just wanted to try his luck and see if he could find any seafood.
