When Wu An heard from Old Fu that the hairy catfish weighed ten catties of fish meat and one ounce of glue, he ordered the hairy catfish to be weighed. Several people carefully lifted the fish to weigh it.
It shows 75 jin (37.5 catties).
Fu Yongning said, "If we're lucky, we can get about eight ounces of fish maw."
"Wow, that's incredible."
"Currently, there is basically no market for hairy catfish maw; you can't buy it even if you have the money."
Wu An asked, "What's the minimum price you can get?"
Fu Yongning looked at Old Fu, who pondered for a moment and said, "Your fish is worth at least 100,000."
Wu An was quite satisfied.
If it could sell for this price in 2012, it would probably cost hundreds of thousands or even more in the next few years.
The marine resources and environment of the future will be much worse than they are now.
Things are valued for their rarity.
Although with the maturity of aquaculture technology and industry, some seafood has appeared on the tables of more and more ordinary people through aquaculture.
However, many wild seafood items remain expensive, and even increasingly outrageous.
For example, the yellow croaker.
For example, this hairy catfish.
Everyone was delighted to hear Old Fu give such a high valuation, knowing that this was only the minimum; if it were higher, it would probably be several hundred thousand.
Old Fu explained, "Actually, this used to be quite common."
"As for how effective it is, it's not necessarily true."
"After all, it's just a medicinal herb at most."
"The main reason is that there are too few."
Let alone fresh fish maw, even fish maw that has been stored for many years has been completely plundered and is now rarely seen on the market.
Once they appear, they will be snapped up.
Old Fu continued, "When I was a kid, you could catch a few of these just by going out to sea."
"well."
"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm not going to say anything more."
Wu An listened with a hint of irony, but he couldn't say anything.
What can I say?
Making money is the top priority!
Old Fu looked at Fu Yongning and said, "Put it in the cold storage later, find a special area to put it there, and make sure it's not crushed."
Fu Yongning nodded, then called to the Fan brothers, and the three of them worked together to put the fish into the cold storage.
Aqing and Meiwu continued to squat down and pick through the items.
Ah Qing's luck was probably a bit mysterious; after a few shovelfuls, he pulled out a large, golden yellow croaker.
With the hairy catfish already there, the appearance of this large yellow croaker only made Ah Qing shout with joy twice.
Because the catch was small, everyone worked quickly. In less than half an hour, all the fish were sorted and put away, and even the deck was tidied up.
"I wish every net had this kind of catch."
"Yes, this is really comfortable."
"I can rest for about an hour, that's great!"
Everyone sat in the shade, enjoying the breeze and chatting idly.
After five o'clock, the sun began to set in the west, gradually turning from incandescent to orange, which also made the clouds look colorful and dazzling. Wu An couldn't help but take a few photos with his phone.
Upon seeing this, Mei Wu casually remarked, "What's so interesting about filming this?"
He genuinely didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
I see sunsets like this almost every day.
Wu An said, "This is not something that everyone can see. Some people may never see it in their lifetime."
Mei Wu was stunned: "Really?"
Wu An smiled.
In my previous life.
He wandered around the big city, in the concrete jungle. Forget about such a beautiful sunset, even doing nothing and quietly appreciating the sunset was a luxury.
Wu An took a moment to check the system and found that his luck value had dropped to single digits. He then said, "Let's set up the internet cafe and try to process the catch before dark."
Although you can turn on the lights at night, it's still not as comfortable as sunlight.
This time, the net bag was noticeably more bulging than the previous one.
Ah Qing muttered to himself, "Mao Gui, Mao Gui."
He went to pull open the net bag.
With a splash, the golden catch covered the deck.
They are all spring fish.
Wu An rummaged through the spring fish at his feet and, luckily, found a large yellow croaker, which was quite good.
This net mainly contains springtail fish.
There are also some shrimp and crabs; in fact, every net has some. If there are a lot, there are several net baskets; if there are few, there are one or two net baskets, which is enough to break even.
Before everyone had finished dealing with the situation, it became completely dark. Old Fu turned on all the lights, and in the vast darkness of the sea, only this small point of light remained.
Wu An helped process the catch, and as soon as he rested, he felt hungry.
I ate dinner early.
This took several hours of work.
Too lazy to make anything fancy, I just used what I had on hand, grabbed some shrimp and crab, chopped them all in half, boiled a pot of water, and cooked ten packets of instant noodles all at once.
A simple pot of seafood instant noodles is all you need.
The group of people didn't mind eating together, and they picked and chose what to eat around the pot. No one fought over the seafood, but Ah Qing and Mei Wu were fighting over the instant noodles.
This stuff tastes good and it also helps to stave off hunger.
seafood……
Whoever wants to eat it can eat it.
After Wu An finished eating, he went to the cockpit to relieve Lao Futou. Once Lao Futou had finished eating, he called for the net to be pulled up.
With this net, there weren't many spring fish left, but quite a few ribbonfish were caught. They were ordinary yellow-eyed ribbonfish. What are yellow-eyed ribbonfish? As the name suggests, they are ribbonfish whose whites are yellow.
These yellow-eyed banded animals are very common in their area; each one is quite large, with the longest exceeding one meter.
Under the lights, it shimmered silver and looked quite pretty.
Each one weighs two or three pounds. Although this kind of ribbonfish is not very expensive, only about twenty yuan per pound, one can still sell for forty or fifty yuan.
This haul yielded at least a thousand ribbonfish, so the harvest was actually quite good.
Moreover, ribbonfish are relatively easy to handle; they can be placed one by one in a net basket and sent to cold storage.
Fu Yongning said, "It's the season for ribbonfish, and they're all very fat. They can fetch a very good price now."
"It would be even better if it were colder."
"I like to eat some ribbonfish after the winter solstice the most."
Suddenly, Old Fu's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Everyone, look out to sea!"
Wu An and the others got up, went to the side of the boat, and looked down. The sea surface, illuminated by the lights, shimmered with silver light; those were ribbonfish.
Aqing stared wide-eyed: "Damn, do these ribbonfish have a death wish? They actually walked right into the trap?"
Mei Wu explained with a smile, "They must have been attracted by the lights."
"You should be able to catch it with a net."
Aqing shook her head: "Forget it, we haven't finished cleaning up the catch on the deck yet. The trawl might bring up even more later, so why bother using a landing net?"
Upon hearing this, Mei Wu thought to himself, "That makes sense."
In the cockpit, Old Fu rubbed his legs, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
The appearance of schools of ribbonfish on the surface of the sea may be due to being attracted by lights, but there are other possibilities as well.
This day... might change.
He was just guessing, and since he hadn't felt anything particularly obvious yet, he didn't say anything more to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
