They parked their cart next to a huge reef and dumped baskets of entrails into the sea.
The internal organs of these fish will become food for marine life.
Moreover, it will be swept away by the waves, leaving little trace.
Even if there are leftovers, it doesn't matter if they rot and smell bad.
This place is far from human habitation; apart from people gathering seafood, basically no one comes here for no reason.
It is said that because they dumped their entrails here, the amount of seafood in the entire reef area increased significantly after the tide receded.
Crabs are the most abundant, and people catch quite a few every day.
You can often find stranded fish, some of which are quite valuable.
In the past, when people went beachcombing, their first choice was to dig for clams on the beach.
Now, people first go to the rocky area to look around, and only go to the beach if they really run out of goods.
"Tsk tsk, there are quite a few good things here now."
As he pushed the cart back, A-Can said, "When you weren't here, my mom and the others told me that someone caught a 4.5-pound blue crab today."
"So big?"
Feng Ye was surprised, "This can be called the King of Blue Crabs?"
There are four varieties of mud crabs: mud crab with serrated edges, mud crab with false burrowing, mud crab with purple claws, and mud crab with olive green color.
Among them, the mud crab is the largest and also the most expensive.
Typically, the nail width can reach 20 centimeters and the weight can be 1.5 kilograms; the maximum nail width can reach 28 centimeters and the heaviest weight can reach 3 kilograms.
Because it turns completely red after being cooked, it is also called red crab (xún).
The claws of the mud crab with serrated edges are asymmetrical, and its legs have obvious reticulated patterns, making it extremely rare. Fishermen commonly call it the "flower-legged crab".
The most common species in the waters here is the mud crab.
However, the weight is usually less than 2 pounds, and those weighing more than 2 pounds are extremely rare, let alone those weighing 4.5 pounds.
"Who can argue with that? Everyone says it's the biggest blue crab they've ever seen."
Ah-chan continued, "It's said that when that guy's pliers are outstretched, they're more than half a meter long..."
He gestured as he spoke, his face full of excitement.
Feng Ye smiled, feeling a little envious.
Putting aside the question of how much it's worth, if you could catch one, you could brag about it for a lifetime.
