The valuable items are only a few dozen kilograms of mantis shrimp, some swimming crabs, blue crabs, and a few larger fish, but not many in number.
After cleaning the deck, Feng Ye stood up and stretched.
Just then, he saw something white on the sea in the distance to his left.
Ah-Can saw it too, and exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Ye, did you see that? Could that be the buoy we're looking for?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be it."
Feng Ye nodded. "Never mind that for now, let's finish this haul first."
"Um."
"Be careful, don't get tangled up."
"Don't worry, I'll stay far away."
While trawled in the nearby waters, Feng Ye cooked breakfast.
It was seafood noodles again, as always, and the two of them took turns eating them.
Around nine o'clock, they started their second netting.
The second shipment had more cargo than the first, but it was still limited.
Moreover, the variety is extremely diverse, with all sorts of things available.
However, as before, the most abundant food was still mantis shrimp.
Fortunately, although the mantis shrimp aren't as plump as they used to be, the price is still pretty good.
The period from April to June is the peak season for mantis shrimp, when they are at their fattest and most delicious.
This is the spawning season for mantis shrimp, during which the meat is more delicious, has a delicate texture, and is highly nutritious.
In addition, although mantis shrimp in autumn do not have roe, their meat is plump and has a better taste in order to store up nutrients for winter.
Therefore, the period around the Mid-Autumn Festival (September-October) is also a good time to eat mantis shrimp.
Every year during these two periods, many boats specialize in catching mantis shrimp, which causes the price of mantis shrimp to fall instead of rise.
However, once these two periods are over, few people fish for it, resulting in lower yields and higher prices.
Just like a while ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, even small mantis shrimps dropped to 1.2 yuan, and even the large ones were only 1.5 yuan.
However, prices have recently started to rise; the smaller ones cost 1.5 yuan, while the larger ones can sell for 2 yuan.
They poured the catch onto the deck, sorted through it together, and then went to collect the net.
