Feng Ye placed the longtail snapper in a small puddle next to him, along with the other goods.
I don't expect it to survive, just don't let it jump around.
These deep-sea fish are inherently difficult to bring back alive, so it's best to kill and bleed them now.
This is the best way to preserve its delicious taste.
Unfortunately, he didn't bring a knife with him, and Feng Jiaqing and Ye Chenliang had forgotten about it.
After settling the big fish, Feng Ye returned to the pond and continued to fish in the muddy water.
When he touched the edge of a rock, he touched a big one.
However, it feels very rough to the touch, unlike other fish which are slippery.
"This is... a shark?"
Feng Ye had a guess in his mind.
In his understanding, only sharks have this kind of feel.
I just don't know what kind of shark it is.
As his hand moved down the fish's body to its tail, he immediately made up his mind.
This is a catshark.
Small sharks are frequently encountered in sump pumping pits.
He grabbed the fish by the tail and lifted it up.
It really was a catshark.
Moreover, it's quite big, weighing about 4 kilograms.
"Hehe, another catshark, not bad, not bad."
Feng Jiaqing looked back and said happily.
"This is called a catshark. Is it a shark? Why does it look like this? It looks a bit like a gecko?"
Ye Chenliang also turned his head, somewhat surprised.
This shark bore no resemblance whatsoever to any of the sharks he had ever seen.
I went out to sea a few times and caught some sharks, but they were all normal-sized fish like blue sharks and great white sharks.
"This is a small shark that lives in rocky reefs and muddy seabeds near the coast. It looks like this and is generally not very big."
"I'm curious, does this thing bite?"
"Generally not, but it cannot be ruled out that it might attack people in special circumstances."
After all, even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
However, even if it bites, the damage is limited, given its size.
Feng Ye explained, then threw the catshark in his hand into the bucket and added some water to keep it alive.
Cat sharks need to be alive; once they're dead, they're worthless.
After a while, with a "splash," the last bucket of water was poured out, and the puddle was finally almost empty.
The remaining water level only reached ankle height, so there was no need to continue scooping it out.
Feng Jiaqing and Ye Chenliang filled the bucket with some water and started catching fish.
The first to deliver the goods was the brother-in-law.
"What kind of fish is this? It's all black."
Ye Chenliang pulled a fish out from a crevice in the rock.
Feng Ye glanced at it: "Black-haired fish, the price is very good."
This black-haired fish is a decent size, probably around seven or eight ounces.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Jiaqing caught another fish near a rock.
"There are quite a few catsharks in this puddle, and here's another one."
As he spoke, he threw the catshark in his hand into the bucket.
This one is smaller than the one Feng Ye caught before, probably only about two pounds.
Feng Ye also had some gains, but only a few stones.
"Ah Ye, come help me turn this rock over, a fish has slithered down there."
Ye Chenliang had just caught a fish near the rock, but he lost his grip and it scurried into a crevice in the ground.
"They're here."
Feng Ye walked over and, together with his brother-in-law, flipped the stone, which weighed over a hundred pounds, over.
A zebra-bodied fish flashed by and disappeared into another crevice in the rocks.
"Holy crap, three-knife fish!"
Feng Ye exclaimed in surprise and rushed over, reaching his hand into the crevice in the rock.
Parrot beak, zebra body, sika deer tail – the king of three cuts; best steamed, best pan-fried, both are delicious, sweet, fragrant, and smooth.
This is a poem often used by diners in Guangdong and Hong Kong to praise the three-knife fish.
Three-knife fish is extremely famous in the Guangdong and Hong Kong areas and is a favorite among diners.
This three-knife fish is quite large, probably weighing about one and a half pounds.
He struggled a lot to pull it out of the crack in the rock.
Looking at the three-knife fish in his hand, Feng Ye's face was full of smiles.
This puddle is full of surprises and good stuff.
One longtail snapper, one black bream, two cat sharks, and now a three-knife fish has appeared.
Could there be something good behind this?
His conjecture was quickly confirmed.
A short while later, his father pulled a jet-black fish out of a crevice in the rock and excitedly shouted, "Haha, another black-haired fish!"
This black-haired fish is about the same size as the one we caught before, weighing about seven or eight ounces.
"Quickly look for it, there should still be some."
Feng Ye was overjoyed.
Black-haired fish like to burrow into the seam of the head and usually move in groups, but in small groups rather than large groups.
Sure enough, they caught several more black-haired fish, some big and some small.
However, only four could be taken away; the others were too small, still juveniles, and had to be released back into the wild.
In addition, they also found some other items, such as blue crabs, sea bass, octopus, black sea bream, and mudskippers.
These are more common and not as valuable as longtail snapper, three-knife fish, and black bream.
"Holy crap, it's raining... no, it's the tide coming in."
Feng Ye threw the small blue crab he had just found back into the pit. Just as he was about to look down again, he felt water droplets hitting his head.
He was a little confused at first, thinking it was raining.
It's understandable that he had this misconception, after all, the rain had just stopped yesterday, and it wasn't impossible for it to rain again.
But when I looked up, the sky was a bit overcast and there was no sun, but it wasn't overcast either, and there was no sign of rain at all.
He immediately realized that the tide was coming in, and the waves were crashing against the rocks, splashing water droplets onto his face.
He quickly called out to his father and brother-in-law, "Dad, brother, stop looking, the tide is coming in soon."
They had thoroughly searched the puddle, and the three of them, carrying buckets, left one after another.
As soon as I got up there, I found that the tide was about to rise and submerge the puddle. It would actually take quite a while, at least ten minutes.
But the waves were surging, crashing against the rocks one after another with a roar and splashing water high into the air.
The three of them were no longer in a hurry, but they didn't stay any longer either.
They poured the goods from the bucket into a small puddle, added some fresh seawater, and then put the goods that were kept in the puddle back into the bucket.
One bucket contained longtail snapper, another bucket contained small grouper, and the remaining bucket contained various other seafood caught.
It was only then that Feng Ye noticed a small green dragon in the puddle.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the quantities of some other goods were also incorrect, seemingly exceeding the recommended amount.
Needless to say, it was Xiao Hei who did it. During the time they were pumping water from the pit, they found a lot more goods.
