Chapter 559 Red-billed Sturgeon
Ye Lin and Fu Shi were arguing with each other, while Fang Min and Fu Qing were silent. Fu Qing watched Fu Wan collect the fish with a nervous look on his face, while Fang Min was ready to reel in the fishing rod to help Fu Wan at any time.
As for what kind of fish it was, neither of them had any idea.
Even when the fish was right in front of her, it continued to struggle, desperately pulling at the line to get back out to sea. Fu Wan simply let it struggle, and when it tired, she would reel in the line with all her might.
Seeing the fish being pulled out of the water, Fang Min hooked her foot and grabbed the hand net on the deck.
Then she took the hand net and scooped up the fish, and the fish immediately fell into the net.
When the fish was pulled onto the deck, not only Ye Lin and Fu Shi, but even Fu Wan was dumbfounded.
"what fish is this?"
Ye Lin scratched his head and confirmed with his eyes that it was a sea fish he had never seen before!
Fu Shi looked left and right. The fish must have weighed about seven or eight kilograms. He went over and turned the fish over. When he stood up and saw the whole picture of the fish, his eyes widened.
"Oh my god, this fish looks like a red-billed mullet!"
"Red-billed croaker?"
Fu Wan was very confused. She had to say that she had no impression of this fish.
"Wait, let me ask my uncle again!"
Fu Shi retracted his fishing rod, picked up the fish and ran to the cockpit.
Fang Min and Fu Qing were a little confused and didn't know whether they should put away their fishing rods.
"Awan, Awan! Did you catch this fish?"
Not long after, Boss Fu's joyful voice came over.
Fu Wan put away the fishing rod and put it aside. "Yes, Dad, what kind of fish is this?"
"Red-billed sturgeon, it's a red-billed sturgeon!"
"Haha, I'm going to get rich again!"
Boss Fu couldn't stop laughing. The red-billed sturgeon was dying soon after it came up. Seeing this, Boss Fu hurried to the small compartment to find a knife to bleed it while it was still alive.
That's how deep-sea fish are, and everyone is used to it.
Seeing Boss Fu drain the fish's blood and then throw out the fish's belly intact, Fu Wan felt that this operation looked familiar and asked about the doubts in her heart.
"Dad, what's the value of this fish? Is it also selling fish maw?"
Boss Fu nodded, "Yes, just like the yellow croaker, the fish maw is valuable!"
Fu Wan became interested. "Can it be sold for as much as the yellow croaker?"
Think about it, last time a yellow croaker was sold for more than 100,000 yuan, could this red-billed sturgeon also be sold for the same?
Boss Fu shook his head. "What are you thinking? The fish maw of the yellow croaker is top-notch. This redmouthed croaker isn't even in the top three!"
Fu Wan felt a little discouraged when she heard this, but Boss Fu's voice rang out again.
"But this red-billed croaker isn't cheap either. Its fish maw is one of the five major fish maws. Look at the size of this fish. It's not small. If it's not hundreds of thousands, tens of thousands should be no problem."
From Boss Fu's perspective, a fish can be sold for tens of thousands, which is very valuable!
However, since Fu Wan had seen the yellow croaker, seeing the red-billed sturgeon was not so strange to her.
But it was a valuable fish after all, so Fu Wan took a closer look at it and memorized the appearance of the red-billed sturgeon in her mind.
The redmouthed croaker is a typical deep-sea fish that has high water quality requirements. It has a slender and laterally flattened body, with a smoothly curved back and abdomen.
According to Boss Fu's description, this kind of fish is generally about half a meter in size and weighs from two to three kilograms to twenty kilograms.
The fish's mouth is large and slightly crooked, and its scales are relatively fine and rough to the touch. Its body is gray-brown, its belly gray-white, and its pectoral fins are yellow at the base with black edges. When its mouth is open, it has a faint reddish tint.
This is also the origin of the name "red-mouthed croaker". Red-mouthed croaker is somewhat similar to yellow croaker. The most valuable part of its body is the fish glue made from the fish maw. The function is similar to yellow croaker glue, but the effect is not as good as yellow croaker. Red-mouthed croaker fish glue is actually made from air-dried fish maw. However, Boss Fu was also a little puzzled. Red-mouthed croaker is the name used by people in Guangdong Province. Red-mouthed croakers are generally found in the North Pacific and near Nan'ao Island in Guangdong Province. He didn't know how red-mouthed croakers could appear in his own waters.
Now is not the time to worry about this. The most important thing is that Fu Wan caught a red-billed sturgeon. As for why it appeared in this sea area, Boss Fu was too lazy to think about it.
After the red-billed sturgeon was drained of blood, Boss Fu put it in a fish basket and placed it in the cold storage. When he learned that Fu Wan had caught the red-billed sturgeon here, he immediately became itchy.
My daughter is so lucky, there’s no reason why I shouldn’t be lucky, right?
So there was another person standing on the deck fishing, but they didn't fish for long before Fu Shi came over and said that the boat could no longer pull the trawl.
So everyone put their fishing rods back, and overall the fishing results were pretty good.
Except for Fu Shi, who was pressed by Boss Fu into the cockpit to drive the boat after delivering the red-billed cod, everyone caught a fish.
Among them, Ye Lin caught two sea bass weighing two or three pounds, and Fang Min caught three palm-sized yellowfin sea bream and red-eyed snapper.
Boss Fu caught a sea wolf weighing three or four pounds. Even Fu Qing was left empty-handed, and he managed to pull up a delicious and beautiful green-finned fish.
This green-finned fish is bigger than the one they caught a few days ago, and it looks to weigh at least three or four pounds.
After Fu Wan put away the fishing rod, Boss Fu and Ye Lin operated the net machine and brought back the trawl net.
Seeing that the net bag was almost rising to the middle of the deck, Fu Wan stepped forward and untied the drawstring of the net bag.
After a burst of crackling sounds of fish being caught, the fish on the deck suddenly piled up into a small mountain.
"Wow, it's so red! Why are there so many red lights?!"
Boss Fu was the first to recognize it. As soon as he finished speaking, a tentacle rose from the pile of fish, and Ye Lin subconsciously hit it with a stick.
"What the hell?"
"Could it be a giant octopus?" Thinking of the big guy she had seen at the bottom of the sea before, Fu Wan couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.
The bigger the octopus is, the scarier its IQ is.
They were like spirits. Those fished out with bamboo tubes were nothing compared to those in the deep sea.
After all, Ye Lin had been following Ye Jianguo to hunt wild boars and catch rabbits since he was a child, so he was very brave.
He used the stick to wrap around the tentacle and picked it up. When Fu Wan and the others saw what it looked like, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It was a giant squid, estimated to weigh more than two or three pounds, squirming wildly while spraying ink.
"It's okay, it's a diamond-fin squid, that's how big these things are."
Boss Fu stepped forward and dragged the squid out, then used a shovel to turn it over twice to see if there were any other diamond-fin squids in the pile of fish next to it.
"There are six diamond-fin squid in total. Awan, hand me the knife."
Boss Fu dragged all the squids to his feet and then reached out to Fu Wan.
The bloodletting knife was behind Fu Wan, and she handed the knife to Boss Fu.
"Does this squid need to be bled?"
"It's not about bleeding, it's about slaughtering it directly."
Boss Fu smiled, took the knife, and slashed the squid's belly. Miraculously, the diamond-fin squid, originally reddish-brown in color, instantly turned pale. Diamond-fin squid, pictured online, is a must-try for sashimi.
