"Really? There are hundreds of kilograms of ribbonfish?"
Fu Wan hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie to ask, and Fu Ming excitedly replied, "It's true, and the net is still catching fish."
These ribbonfish are really delicious! I just cut one up and pan-fried it. Ah Wan, I've never had such delicious ribbonfish in my life!
Is it really that delicious?
Fu Wan, who hadn't eaten any of it, expressed disbelief.
"Brother, our ship will be arriving at your place soon. When we arrive, we'll slow down a bit so you can bring us a few to try."
After saying that, she glanced at her watch. It was almost nine o'clock. Everyone had just eaten a simple meal in the evening, and now that Fu Ming said the ribbonfish was delicious, Fu Wan was actually a little hungry.
"Okay, I'll go to the deck and get it for you right now!"
After the call ended, Fu Wan hurriedly went up to the deck.
The fish on the deck had already been sorted out, so Fu Wan told Fang Min and Fu Qing to go to the cabin to rest.
Ye Lin and Fu Shi were also learning how to operate a ship in the cockpit, and they heard Fu Ming's words on the radio.
As the two ships drew closer, Fu Wan spotted Fu Ming looking around on the deck.
Seeing Fu Wan waiting by the boat, he waved to her.
"Ah Wan, over here!"
Fu Wan looked at the fish basket next to him, thought for a moment, picked up a hand net from the side and stretched it over.
"Brother, put the fish in there!"
The Fully Loaded Return is much taller than the Sailing Faraway, so the two ships are not at the same level.
Moreover, Fu Ming's ship was still operating, so Boss Fu and his men couldn't get too close.
Seeing Fu Wan hand over the net, Fu Ming exclaimed that she was clever, and then quickly put five or six silvery-white ribbonfish into it.
When Fu Wan put the net away, Ye Lin couldn't wait to come over.
"This ribbonfish isn't very big!"
Last time they went out to sea, the ribbonfish they caught were four or five fingers wide, but the ones Fu Ming just gave them were mostly two or three fingers wide.
Fu Wan picked up a ribbonfish and squeezed it. "It's not very big, but it's quite plump."
There are also some tips for choosing ribbonfish. When you pick up the ribbonfish, pinch it between your thumb and forefinger. You can immediately feel whether the flesh is thick or not.
"Wow, this ribbonfish is so oily."
Fu Wan didn't realize how oily her hands were until she put the ribbonfish down.
Looking closer at the shape of the ribbonfish, to be honest, none of them looked very appealing. Not only had almost all of their scales fallen off, but there were also many visible scratches from fishing nets on their bodies.
As for the ribbonfish themselves, these are all typical black-eyed ribbonfish. However, compared to the previous black-eyed ribbonfish, these few not only have smaller heads, but their black eyes are also much smaller. The radar netting image shows mottled net marks on their bodies, but perhaps due to the principle that a small head makes the body appear larger, Fu Wan felt that these ribbonfish were particularly robust, suggesting their flesh must be quite firm.
"Brother Lin, go tell my dad to keep trawling the boat. I'll go fry these ribbonfish so everyone can have a taste."
Ye Lin replied, "Okay, I'll come over later and help you pack."
There were six ribbonfish in the net, and Fu Wan was cleaning them all by herself; she didn't know how long it would take.
As soon as she finished speaking, Fang Min opened the cabin door and came out. "Is there any work to do? Let me do it."
Fu Wan waved the ribbonfish at her, "I got some ribbonfish from my brother's boat. Everyone can try some later. Where's Aqing?"
Fang Min's gaze fell on the ribbonfish, but she didn't forget to answer Fu Wan's question.
"Aqing was asleep. I heard a noise, so I came out to check."
"Do you need to clean this ribbonfish? Let me do it!"
After saying that, Fang Min picked up the ribbonfish and headed towards the kitchen. It would take some time to clean the ribbonfish, so Fu Wan thought for a moment and then steamed a few large buns in the rice cooker.
These steamed buns were made by Ye Xiaocui and Jiang Chunlan in the past two days. The two of them used more than 20 jin of cornmeal and wheat flour to make steamed buns.
Although there are no refrigerators on the ship, there are cold storage rooms.
These steamed buns are packed and stored in a cold storage. If you don't have time to cook rice, you can heat them up in a rice cooker and eat them as a staple food.
Fang Min's fish-cleaning skills were becoming more and more proficient. In the short time it took Ye Lin to greet Boss Fu, she had already cleaned two ribbonfish.
"Ah Wan, three ribbonfish should be enough, right?"
There were only six people on the boat. Although the ribbonfish wasn't very long, it was still about half a meter long.
Three ribbonfish, plus some ginger, garlic, and other ingredients, are enough for a big bowl.
"That's enough, that's enough. I'll braise two more sea bream later, and everyone can have a good meal."
Fang Min stopped killing the fish when she heard this, and Ye Lin, who was next to her, picked up a cleaver and started chopping the ribbonfish.
Fu Wan heated the pan and heated the oil. Since there was no paper to wipe the water off the boat, she used chopsticks to gently shake the fish before putting them into the pan one by one.
With a series of crackling sounds, a lot of oil splattered out, but fortunately Fu Wan dodged to the side. Before long, the aroma of ribbonfish filled the entire ship, and even Boss Fu and Fu Shi in the cockpit couldn't help but sniff.
"Oh, it smells so good!"
As if in response to Boss Fu's words, Fu Shi's stomach immediately rumbled.
"Are you starving, kid?"
Unable to see the expression on Boss Fu's face, Fu Shi felt a little embarrassed.
"No, I ate dinner tonight."
Because of the previous rift between the two families, to be honest, Fu Shi was actually quite afraid of Boss Fu.
He ate dinner before setting off, but because he was afraid of delaying things, he didn't eat much. Now, smelling the aroma of fish, his stomach was already growling.
"If you work on our ship, you have to eat and sleep well. Don't let the villagers think I took you begging when you get off the ship."
"No way, Uncle! Everyone envies me for being able to go out on your ship. Don't worry, I'll definitely eat a few extra pieces later!"
Fu Shi understood what Boss Fu meant. They chatted back and forth, and Fu Wan, who was cooking, became so engrossed in the aroma that she was completely captivated.
"Smell it, doesn't this fish smell much better than the ribbonfish from the other day?"
Ye Lin nodded vigorously, "Yes, it smells really good. Awan, why does it smell so good?"
Fu Wan shook her head. "I don't know either. The seasonings are the same as before. No wonder people said that the oil-fried ribbonfish from Radar Network is the best. I've seen it for myself today."
After saying that, she didn't forget to instruct Ye Lin, "Brother Lin, when you go back, don't forget to bring some ribbonfish for your aunt and uncle to try. Amin too, such delicious ribbonfish, everyone in the family should try it."
"Okay, I'll definitely keep that in mind!"
Ye Lin didn't stand on ceremony, and Fang Min, seeing this, didn't refuse either.
She wasn't going back to her hometown, but she still considered Wang Xiuer her aunt. And she also wanted to visit Zhao Gang, her former boss.
Pan-fried ribbonfish is quick to make. Fry until golden brown on both sides, then add some seasonings and water to simmer. In no time, the ribbonfish will be ready.
While the sea bream was still simmering in the pot, Fu Wan couldn't wait to pick up a piece of ribbonfish and take a bite.
"How about it?"
"The fish is tender and flavorful, melting in your mouth with absolutely no fishy taste. Come on, you should all try some!"
