In this place, Bai Yu and his friends fished twice, once in the first half of the night and once in the second half.
Overall, the number of fish caught by the white fisherman was quite good. The downside was that there weren't many valuable fish; the most valuable one was the first grouper caught.
The rest were just some barracuda, trevally, red sea bream, and other worthless creatures.
Some might say that red sea bream is also a high-end seafood, especially red sea bream sashimi, which can sell for several hundred yuan a plate in a restaurant.
Yes, red sea bream can indeed be considered a high-end seafood, but there are three grades of red sea bream. For red sea bream of the same size, the cheapest is naturally the unprocessed red sea bream, which cannot be used for sashimi and is also the cheapest.
Secondly, there are red sea bream that have been processed, bled, and then chilled at low temperatures. These can be used to make sashimi, and the price will be slightly higher, but only by a very small margin.
In the southern market, the supply of frozen red sea bream is not lacking, which keeps the price of frozen red sea bream low, and the price that fish buyers pay to fishermen is naturally lower.
The truly valuable red sea bream are live ones, especially large live ones weighing over ten pounds each. These fish can fetch a price of one or two hundred yuan per pound on the market.
However, Bai Yu and his crew had only been at sea for two days, and they would be at sea for another four or five days. He wasn't very confident that these red sea bream could survive for so long in the live fish hold, so he figured it was better to just kill them quickly from the start.
On the morning of the third day, around six o'clock, after Bai Yu and the others had rested, the fishing boat started up again and headed towards the Pacific Ocean at a speed of twenty knots.
One knot is one nautical mile, and one nautical mile is equal to 1.852 kilometers. The speed of a fishing boat is about 30 to 40 kilometers per hour.
This speed is not the limit of the fishing boat, but the optimal cruising speed. If you really want to go the fastest, the fishing boat can increase the speed by four to ten knots per hour.
However, that would consume too much fuel for the fishing boat, so it generally wouldn't go at its fastest speed.
Several hours later, the fishing boat sailed out of the South China Sea and into the Pacific Ocean.
After arriving here, the number of ships appearing around became even fewer, but the variety of ships that could appear began to increase.
This diversity does not refer to the different ship models, but rather to the variety of national flags flown on the ships.
In the South China Sea, they mostly encounter domestic ships, but once they reach the Pacific Ocean, they will encounter merchant ships from all over the world.
Even in a country like Mongolia, which has no coastline, they still have merchant ships. It's just that whether they will come to the Pacific Ocean is uncertain, but there is always a possibility of encountering them.
Once they arrived in the Pacific Ocean, the captain of the fishing boat was free to roam around, searching for the large fish he was looking for.
For this voyage, most of the anglers on board were primarily looking for big fish, or rather, giant fish.
Only huge fish can pique their interest. Only when they catch a big fish will these people think of their fishing boats the next time they want to go out to sea.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yu was awakened by the urge to urinate, and then groggily walked out of the crew room.
When Bai Yu arrived at the corridor inside the cabin, he was stunned. He didn't feel any shaking under his feet.
What's going on? The fishing boats have stopped?
With a hint of doubt, Bai Yu went to the toilet to relieve herself before coming up to the deck to observe the situation on the sea.
Just as he sensed, the fishing boat had indeed stopped, though he wasn't sure why, and he didn't see any crew members on board.
? ? ?
What's going on? Where are all the people on the ship? Did they all go to the restaurant for dinner?
Bai Yu glanced at the time on her phone. It was only 5 p.m., wasn't it a bit too early to have dinner at this time?
However, even though Bai Yu thought this way, he still strode towards the restaurant to see what the situation was.
As Bai Yu approached the restaurant, he indeed saw figures moving inside. When he pushed the door open, the ship's crew members were indeed having dinner inside.
"Hey, everyone's here. You're eating dinner pretty early. If you're eating now, you'll get hungry again soon."
Bai Yu pushed open the door and walked in, then went straight to the staff member he knew, sat down, and started chatting with them.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's already five o'clock, and it'll be time for you to eat soon. After you finish dinner, you'll go fishing."
If we don't eat now, we won't be able to eat at all later.
"Oh, I see. Then it shouldn't be a problem for me to eat now, right?"
"No problem, just go get your food if you want. We eat the same food as you, and the chef has already prepared food for you."
The staff member pointed and told Bai Yu that if she wanted to eat, she could get her own rice and dishes.
Although the fishing boat offers some services, these services do not include serving food to the anglers; that's something Bai Yu and his companions will definitely have to do themselves.
Bai Yu immediately stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Soon he came out carrying a tray with a large plate of rice and various dishes.
There are quite a few anglers who go out to sea on the boat, so the daily food supply is definitely plentiful. Seafood is always plentiful, but the variety of vegetables is a bit limited.
During the meal, Bai Yu chatted with the staff next to him. He especially liked chatting with his staff at this time.
After all, every time he chats with the staff, he can learn some information that others don't know before they do.
For example, he now understands the current situation of the sea area, which is truly abundant, much more abundant than the place they found on the first day.
It's worth noting that on the first night of fishing, the captain found a lot of fish in the area, including more than ten large fish that were over a meter long.
However, the staff said that the resources in this place are even richer than before, meaning there are at least a dozen, or even more, large fish in the seabed.
