Fu Mancang and Fu Jinshui were incredibly skilled at handling fish.
After catching the fish, Fu Wan put away her fishing rod.
Just then, Fu Haishun called out from the kitchen doorway, "The food is ready! Everyone come and eat!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin and the others also put away their fishing rods.
The fishing trip was quite successful in that hour. Ye Lin pulled up a two- or three-pound cobia, which he caught with a hand net and it wasn't injured.
The fish naturally went into the live water tank, and Fu Daniu also pulled up a tiger grouper weighing a pound. At least he wasn't an air force pilot, and he was so happy that his gums were showing.
"Ah Wan, come quick, I caught a fish too!"
"It's a beautiful fish!"
Fu Qing's joyful cry rang out, and Fu Wan turned her head to see that the child was fishing behind her.
Good heavens, she thought Fu Qing had gone back to the rest cabin.
Fu Wan put her fishing rod aside and hurried over.
Fang Min held a hand net in her hand, and the fish that Fu Qing had caught were jumping around inside.
When Fu Wan saw the fish in the net, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Huh, it's a sea bream!"
"Sea bream?"
Fu Qing was puzzled, wanting to grab it but not daring to.
"Ah Wan, is this fish poisonous?"
Looking at the fish's strange dorsal fin, Fu Qing felt a little scared.
Fu Wan shook her head. "No, don't be afraid."
"It looks scary, but it actually tastes pretty good."
The sea bream looks somewhat like an ornamental fish. This fish has a very flat body, a thin back but thick flesh, and when it swims in the sea, it looks like a vertical thin plank.
The main characteristics of the sea bream are a black spot the size of a coin on the middle of its side, and long, distinct bony fins on its back and belly.
This fish has a large mouth and feeds on other small fish. Its protruding head is so ugly that it looks a bit like a filefish.

Sea bream typically live in waters tens or even hundreds of meters deep. Because they are not good swimmers, they prefer to hide stealthily in seaweed and wait for prey to come to them.
It may look ugly, but it tastes pretty good.
This fish has firm and chewy flesh, and whether it's fried, boiled, or steamed, it can be made into a unique and delicious dish.
Upon hearing Fu Wan's words, Fu Qing couldn't wait to remove the fishhook from the fish's mouth.
"This fish is so beautiful, I want to take it back to show my mother!"
"Haha, sure. Let's put it in the live water tank first!"
Everyone was used to Fu Qing's childlike appearance.
Although her IQ is no different from that of a child, she is just as capable when it comes to work.
After placing the bream into the live water tank, Fu Wan glanced at her watch again.
"I estimate it will be about half an hour before the net is set up, so everyone should hurry up and eat this meal."
"Okay!"
Ye Lin and the others responded in unison. By this time, the sergeant fish had already been taken out by Fu Mancang and the others.
Looking at the crystal-clear fish meat, Fu Wan couldn't help but swallow.
"Brother Lin, could you take a piece of sergeant fish to the kitchen and cut it up? We can all have a taste later!"
"good!"
Ye Lin agreed without hesitation, while Fu Mancang and Fu Daniu exchanged glances, feeling utterly helpless.
Such expensive fish, and they fed it to them without even thinking?
But thinking about what they'd eaten since boarding the ship, and the tuna in the kitchen, Fu Mancang and the others had actually gotten used to it.
No wonder so many people in the village are desperate to get on Fu Wan's boat. Just ask where there is such a good boat owner?
They have to be from their own village!
Thinking about it this way, Fu Haishun and the others couldn't help but feel proud. Of course, they all secretly made up their minds that they had to work hard and never let down Fu Wan's family's generosity.
For lunch, they ate plain white rice, which Fu Wan had asked Fang Min to cook early in the morning.
It was the first time Fu Haishun and his friends had ever seen a rice cooker, and they were incredibly amazed. This thing meant they didn't have to scoop out the rice or start a fire to steam it themselves, and it would automatically keep the rice warm once it was cooked. It looked so convenient.
Several grown men immediately considered buying one to take home, but when they asked about the price, they quickly nipped the idea in the bud.
A rice cooker that costs over a hundred yuan? That's too expensive! They should just work harder and cook for themselves!
Besides, we only eat white rice a few times a year; most of what we eat at home is porridge and flatbread, so a rice cooker isn't a necessity.
While the boatmen chatted, Ye Lin sliced the piece of sergeant fish that Fu Wan had asked him to bring into pieces.
The translucent fish meat made Ye Lin swallow hard as he cut it.
Until he cut the last slice, he didn't even bother with any seasoning. He just picked up a handful and stuffed it into his mouth. The fresh, sweet, and chewy taste made Ye Lin's eyes squint.
"Wow, this sashimi is almost as good as red sea bream!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wan also tried a piece, "It does taste quite good."
"Come on, everyone, hurry up and eat. We still need to set up the nets after we finish eating!"
Fu Wan called out, and Dong Haiyang, who had just woken up from hunger, also came into the restaurant upon hearing the noise.
Dong Haiyang's eyes widened at the sight of the row of dishes on the table.
With white rice and several kinds of sashimi, this kind of meal would cost over a hundred yuan in a city restaurant.
Ye Lin ran to call Boss Fu. Since they were about to haul in the net, Boss Fu simply set the boat's speed and direction, planning to stop the boat and haul in the net after finishing his meal.
Stir-fried prawns, steamed sea bream, cobra tuna sashimi, stewed rabbit with potatoes, dried radish, and green vegetables.
With the addition of Ye Xiaocui's secret spicy sauce, everyone ate their fill.
Because she had to go swimming in the afternoon, Fu Wan only ate until she was about 70% full. She didn't like eating sashimi before, always feeling that it contained a lot of parasites.
Since being reborn and unlocking all sorts of rare fish, she has fallen in love with the original taste of these fish.
Especially tuna; although yellowfin tuna doesn't have the same flavor as bluefin tuna, it's still a delicacy.
After lunch, Fang Min and Fu Qing cleaned up the dishes, while the others went to the deck to prepare to cast the nets.
Fu Laoda switched shifts with Dong Haiyang. Even though it was broad daylight, he wasn't sleepy, so he also came to the deck to help with the netting.
After working for half an hour, the huge net bag was raised onto the deck again, and it looked like it had burst open again.
As fishermen, none of them don't love a bountiful harvest and a full net.
Fu Laoda had been waiting on the deck for a long time. As soon as the net-lifting machine came to a stop, he couldn't wait to go up and untie the net ropes.
Fu Wan stood to the side, and when she saw Boss Fu start pulling the net rope, she quickly took two steps back.
"one two three!"
After Boss Fu finished counting to three, there was a loud crash.
The fish instantly piled up like a mountain on the deck. After seeing the types of fish, not only Ye Lin and Fu Haishun, but also Fu Wan and Fu Qing showed expressions that were hard to describe.
"Damn, they're all sardines!"
"This is really weird, what a waste of all that time I spent on the internet."
Ye Lin cursed under his breath. He stubbornly picked up the rake and started digging around. To his surprise, he actually managed to pull out several sergeant fish weighing over ten pounds each.
