Chapter 140 Yellowfin Tuna



Just when Xia Yu was thinking of a bad idea, a huge force came from the fishing rod, pulling him over and making him stagger.

“We’ve got a fish!”

Xia Yu braked the reel slightly and continued to pay out the line.

Although I don’t know if it’s a tuna, it’s definitely a big one, with power seven or eight times that of the mandarin fish I caught before.

Seeing Xia Yu catch the fish so quickly, Yin Suya frowned.

How come this bad guy is so powerful?

Not only can she play the suona and cook, she is also very good at fishing, whether it is lake fishing or sea fishing, and can be called an all-round player.

He is at a disadvantage by doing this. He will only lose no matter what bet he makes.

Can't she win for once?

Yin Suya felt a little resentful. She really just wanted to win once and see Xia Yu get humiliated, but in reality, she was the one who got humiliated.

Xia Yu could only apologize for this, saying that his strength did not allow him to do so. After all, cheating was a form of strength these days.

"Senior, come and help!"

He kept letting out and reeling in the line, and after a fierce fight, he felt that the prey was a little exhausted, so he quickly called Yin Suya to help.

"Me? How can I help?"

"Bring that landing net over there. I'm afraid it'll come off the hook when I pull it up."

“Ouch!”

As Yin Suya responded, she hurriedly found the telescopic scoop net and stretched it to its maximum length.

"Crash~~"

A green and yellow figure broke out of the water, struggling and swaying from side to side. The huge force made Xia Yu tremble all over.

"Quick, copy it!"

"good!"

Nervous Yin Suya raised the scoop net and scooped it down, directly catching the big fish that had not given up its fate.

"I can't pull it."

Just when Yin Suya was about to pull the fish out in one go, she was embarrassed to find that she couldn't pull it out at all.

"I'll do it!"

The fish was so big that Xia Yu and Yin Suya had to work together to pull it onto the boat.

“It’s yellowfin tuna.”

Yin Suya has made videos for Japanese restaurants and has some knowledge of tuna, so she recognized what kind of tuna it was at a glance.

As the name suggests, the yellowfin tuna has yellow fins. Among the many tunas, the bluefin tuna with blue fins is the most precious. However, because of its delicious taste, it has been overfished by humans and has become scarce, making it difficult to catch.

“Is this fish expensive?”

Xia Yu asked curiously.

He has eaten a lot of seafood, but because he is afraid of eating raw food, he has rarely eaten sashimi.

"I'm not sure about the exact price, but I saw a news report a while ago about a fisherman who caught a 100-pound yellowfin tuna and sold it for nearly 93,000 yuan on JD.com before it even reached shore."

Tsk, I thought it was so expensive!

Xia Yu couldn't help but feel disappointed after hearing Yin Suya's words. This amount of money was not enough for his room fee for one night, not to mention that he only weighed more than 70 pounds.

The whole thing can probably be sold for around 40,000?

High-priced seafood like this cannot be simply calculated based on price per kilogram. The larger the size, the higher the price. More than 70 kilograms may not seem to have much less meat, but the price is basically reduced to less than half.

Forty thousand yuan barely covered Xia Yu's expenses for this trip to the sea. However, he had not yet fallen to the point of selling fish. Of course, he ate the fish he caught himself.

"Senior, how about it? I said I'd catch you a tuna and I caught one."

The fact that the fish could not be sold at a high price did not mean that Xia Yu could not be arrogant. He kept his word and fulfilled his promise once again.

"That's great, thank you!"

Um?

It should have been a happy thing to hear the praise from the senior, but it seemed different from what Xia Yu had imagined.

Shouldn't he be furious and accept the punishment with gritted teeth?

That’s right, accept the punishment!

After hunting geese all day and getting pecked by a goose, Xia Yu forgot the most crucial bet.

He only said that he wanted to catch a tuna, but didn't say what would happen if he caught it, or what would happen if he didn't. No wonder Yin Suya had that attitude.

Looking at the senior student who was covering her mouth and laughing, Xia Yu sighed deeply.

Even experienced drivers make mistakes sometimes, but just wait, one day I will get back what I lost with interest.

After saying these harsh words in his heart, Xia Yu decided to turn his grief into appetite and have a good tuna feast.

Whether in Shanghai or Sanya, the tuna you can eat are all ultra-low temperature frozen stocks. Some have been thawed repeatedly due to poor transportation conditions, and the taste is hard to compare with this freshly caught tuna.

The captain and the chef were also surprised that Xia Yu actually caught such a huge tuna, and they quickly sent it to the kitchen to start cutting it down.

Xia Yu had seen a video on cutting tuna on Bilibili. People with obsessive-compulsive disorder looked very comfortable doing it, and now he was also using his camera to record this moment.

The first step in disassembly is to remove the head. The fish head, which is bigger than Yin Suya's palm, is cut off and put aside, ready to be used for making the chopped pepper fish head.

Everything can be chopped or boiled, but most people think it is a waste, so most people still eat it raw.

Xia Yu was not afraid of waste, so he asked the chef to make several more dishes using the traditional method of cooking fish, leaving only the fattiest part to make sashimi.

Because of the difference in osmotic pressure, parasites on marine fish are less likely to parasitize on the human body, but Xia Yu is still a little worried. However, people always have to choose to try. At worst, they can just get rid of the parasites if they get them.

He picked up a large piece of pink sashimi and put it into his mouth.

After chewing a few bites, he felt refreshed instantly, without the fishy smell that Xia Yu had imagined.

Xia Yu loves eating fish, but he can't stand fish bones and the fishy smell, so in addition to freshwater fish with fewer bones such as mandarin fish and sea bass, he prefers sea fish, the kind that is fully cooked.

In his impression, meat would have a fishy smell if it was not cooked properly, but this tuna overturned his perception.

"Is it tasty?"

Yin Suya looked at Xia Yu eagerly, almost drooling.

"You want to eat?"

Xia Yu picked up another piece and asked, only to see Yin Suya nodding repeatedly.

“No!”

After bringing the meat to Yin Suya's mouth, Xia Yu turned the chopsticks in his hand again and ate the meat in one bite.

Yin Suya was very angry at his expression of enjoyment with his squinting eyes, but she couldn't turn her face against him or rush to eat the fish that someone else had caught. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little wronged.

"I won't be greedy for you anymore, eat!"

When Yin Suya felt wronged, another thick piece of sashimi was brought to her mouth. This time Xia Yu did not dodge.

“Ah~~”

After taking a big bite of the sashimi, Yin Suya finally laughed.

Seeing the senior sister smile, Xia Yu also smiled. Only the chef who was busy next to her felt a little uncomfortable.

These rich people are really something. The yacht is such a big place, they can show their love anywhere, such as the deck, bedroom, and bathroom. Why do they have to show it to her in the kitchen?
