Jellyfish is rich in nutrients and is especially suitable for people with high blood pressure.
Because it contains substances similar to acetylcholine, it has the effect of dilating blood vessels and lowering blood pressure.
However, the nematocysts of fresh jellyfish contain medusa toxins, which are mainly composed of various bioactive substances such as proteins, polypeptides, serotonin, and histamine.
A jellyfish can be divided into four parts: jellyfish skin, jellyfish brain, jellyfish head, and jellyfish blood.
The toxins in jellyfish are hidden in the jellyfish skin and head, requiring special handling.
Jellyfish skin refers to the umbrella-shaped part of a jellyfish.
Because of the toxins, this part needs to be cured with alum and salt three times to coagulate the proteins in the jellyfish and also to help speed up dehydration.
Jellyfish skin can be further divided into jellyfish edge – the edge of the jellyfish.
Because they are often in a more active state, they are especially chewy.
Jellyfish brain refers to the gonads of a jellyfish.
Those who love to eat know that "the best-tasting things are sex organs," so jellyfish brains don't taste bad either.
Jellyfish head does not refer to the head of the jellyfish, but rather to the tentacle part of the jellyfish, that is, the oral arms, which also needs to undergo pickling treatment with alum and salt.
Jellyfish blood, also known as jellyfish skin or jellyfish lining in some places, refers to the brown protective membrane on the inside of the jellyfish skin.
This is the most valuable part of the jellyfish.
In the future, its price once reached as high as 1,500 yuan per kilogram.
As the number of jellyfish farmed increases, prices have dropped somewhat, but they are still very expensive.
"This really is jellyfish."
Ah-Can compared them carefully and was a little surprised.
"With such an obvious difference, how could I possibly mistake it?"
“It’s easy to distinguish them once they’re pulled out of the water, but it’s not so easy to tell them apart in the sea.”
"Throw the jellyfish into the live water tank, and I'll check again to see if there are any more."
Feng Ye didn't want to argue with him. After giving an order, he walked to the side of the boat and looked out at the sea.
Once jellyfish are caught, they are either immediately cut and processed or kept in a live water tank.
Otherwise, after the jellyfish dies, its autolytic enzymes will quickly activate and dissolve into a puddle of water.
The fishermen on the small wooden boats gathered nearby were all puzzled as they watched him holding a net and preparing to cast it.
One of the older men kindly reminded us, "This is a jellyfish. You can't sell it, you can't eat it, and it might even be poisonous. There's no point in taking it back."
"I know, I'll be careful."
Of course, Feng Ye wouldn't say that these jellyfish were hiding jellyfish.
Although they may eventually find out, it's good to get as many as possible.
Jellyfish can be sold for money, and the price varies depending on the variety.
But overall they are very cheap, averaging only a few cents per pound.
In some places, the purchase price is only one dollar per item.
He didn't intend to catch them to sell for money; catching these things was too strenuous, they were all very heavy, and the key was that he had to use a hand net, not a trawler.
Moreover, it didn't fetch much money, so it wasn't very appealing to him.
He simply wanted to scoop some up and eat it.
He especially likes to eat jellyfish brains and jellyfish blood.
The people on the small wooden boats were all very curious as they watched Feng Ye holding a net and occasionally poking at the pale blue jellyfish in the sea, seemingly searching for something.
They simply stayed there, craning their necks to see what he was looking for.
Several more fishing boats sailed over from the open sea, and seeing the situation, they all curiously approached.
Not only Feng Ye and A-Can are smart people, but everyone by the sea knows that there are goods in the sea after a typhoon.
Therefore, many people, after leaving the harbor, do not rush back to the village, but instead go out to haul in a few nets first.
Of course, given the limited time, they couldn't go too far; they were all trawlers within the inland waters.
These fishing boats have finished their work and are preparing to return to the dock.
They also saw pale blue jellyfish floating in the sea.
Some people were eagerly trying to salvage the ship, some were asking questions of the people on the small wooden boats, and some were looking at Feng Ye on the Rising Sun with suspicion...
Some people even shouted, "Ah Ye, what are you doing? Isn't that a jellyfish? Why are you trying to catch it?"
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Just as Feng Ye was about to look up to see who it was, he saw another jellyfish floating over from beneath the surface of the sea.
He was delighted and immediately stretched out the net, struggling to scoop it up.
Everyone saw his movement, and some sharp-eyed people even recognized it, exclaiming in surprise, "That's not a jellyfish!"
Someone immediately countered, "If it's not a jellyfish, is it a sea jellyfish?"
"It really is jellyfish."
Everyone now understood what Feng Ye had been looking for.
"So there were jellyfish mixed in with this large group of jellyfish. How come we didn't notice them before?"
"The jellyfish he just scooped up was quite big..."
"Speaking of which, the jellyfish season should have arrived by now, but it's about ten days later than usual."
"Yes, in previous years at this time, jellyfish were everywhere, and we couldn't catch them all..."
Everyone got excited and scattered, using nets to search for jellyfish hidden among the sea jellyfish.
For mechanically powered fishing boats, it's not very profitable to specifically collect jellyfish to sell; they only catch a little bit while they're working.
However, for the small wooden boat, it was a good time to make money.
Every year during the jellyfish season, it's a carnival for small wooden boats, and they are the main force in selling jellyfish.
Moreover, since the typhoon just passed, everyone who came out to set up nets today has basically not earned any money yet.
Now that there was a chance to make money, everyone was like a warrior with ignited passion, throwing themselves into this unexpected treasure hunt.
On the sea, all sorts of hand-held nets fluttered up and down, accompanied by excited shouts from time to time.
Feng Ye also spotted several jellyfish at this time, and they were all quite large.
He noticed that more and more jellyfish were surfacing, and the number of sea jellyfish seemed to have increased as well.
At the same time, the colors of the spheres in the sea are not limited to light blue; they also include light purple, red, pink, and dark purple.
This is what he can see; he believes the situation is similar in other places.
He guessed that the waves were gradually calming down and the temperature was rising, which caused them to rise.
When the Rising Sun came close, we didn't see so many.
Feng Ye scooped up a few jellyfish that he could reach, and then stopped.
He caught seven in total, enough to eat, and even more than he could finish, and he didn't plan to sell them.
Of course, what he couldn't finish were the jellyfish heads and skins, not the jellyfish brains and blood he preferred.
The unusual activity in this small area of the sea also attracted the attention of ships in the distance, who came over curiously to inquire and then joined in.
Wouldn't it be foolish not to make money when you can?
Feng Ye and A Can are two idiots; they sailed the boat to the dock.
