Octopus, genus Amberjack in the family Trevalidae.
Mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical sea areas of the world.
The maximum body length of the octopus is about 1.5 meters, with an oblong body shape, slightly flattened sides, and a round ventral surface. The body color of the adult fish changes greatly, and the back of the fish is blue-gray or olive, sometimes with a pink sheen.
This kind of fish is the best sashimi, and the price is relatively expensive.
The Zhanghong on the market, which is less than half a meter long, is now closed to fishing, and the price is estimated to be 40 to 50 yuan. When it is cheap, it can be bought for 20 to 30 yuan per catty... The price of the one with a body length of more than 1 meter
It's quite expensive. I estimate it costs dozens of yuan or even a hundred yuan per catty.
Octopus fish usually come in groups, but the number is not large, and they move together in single digits.
Chen Yuan returned the line, hung up the live fish bait and threw it out.
Yang Xun was still fishing. His fish was relatively large and it was particularly difficult to reel in the line.
The bigger you are, the greater your strength. The main line can withstand the strength, but the fishing boat cannot...
After seeing this, He Fei put down his fishing rod and went to help: "Turn the brakes on the fishing boat a little louder, and it won't be able to hold it anymore."
"It's already the biggest." Yang Xun said and laughed: "My fish is going to make its money back."
"Be careful, don't let the fish escape." He Fei held the net.
Zhang Cheng on the bow is still changing the line group.
Meng Jianshan had no intention of fishing, so he was filming nearby with his camera. He went to sea not to make money by fishing, but to shoot video materials...
"It's so intense..." Meng Jianshan said with a smile: "Be careful, don't run away."
Yang Xun used up all the strength he could muster, stayed for a few minutes, and handed the pole to He Fei: "I have no strength left."
"Why don't you use an electric wheel?" He Fei complained. He's a poor man, but he's addicted. And looking at the arc of the fishing rod, this one is even bigger than the one he just had.
"I didn't expect to hit the big fish." Yang Xun laughed, extremely excited.
If this fish comes up, then no matter what you do on this trip to the sea, you will not lose money.
The fish slipper made a lot of noise, and there were several big fish below just now, but they all ran away.
Chen Yuan's lead sank to the bottom. After a while, no fish bit the hook.
The purpose of fishing for large groupers is to sink to the bottom. At this time, the large groupers should come out to look for food.
Yang Xun and the others were still fighting the big fish, and the surge was becoming more and more obvious. Even if the stabilizer was turned on, the fishing boat still shook slightly...
After a while, He Fei finally pulled the fish out of the water.
Yang Xun took the big net and caught the fish, and then the two of them worked together to lift the fish up: "Master Lin, help us bleed it."
"OK."
This fish was relatively large. Lin Xinhai bled the fish from its gills and tail and said, "Rinse it with sea water. The tide is strong now, so be careful of sharks."
"Um……"
One person fetched water, and the other person held the fish tail and rinsed it with sea water...
When the blood was almost drained, he lifted the fish head vigorously. Lin Xinhai came over to help, and it took more than ten minutes.
The red octopus is the best sashimi, but if the blood is not drained away, it will be unpalatable. And the flesh color is also poor...
Yang Xun's fish is extremely fat, with an estimated length of 1.3 meters and a weight of over 100 kilograms.
If graded according to low, medium, upper and top quality, this fish is top quality...
The red octopus in July is usually not fat, and late autumn is the fattest season for the octopus.
Lin Xinhai gave a thumbs up and said, "In this season, the price of this fish is going up to 150 yuan."
"So expensive." He Fei knew the prices of various fish. He thought that if he sold it to a fishmonger, it would only be around a hundred at most.
I didn't expect it to be worth two hundred yuan.
"This fish is very fat, so the price will naturally go up." Lin Xinhai said: "If you freeze it back, the price will be cheaper. It is best to sell it at sea..."
"When will the boat collecting fish from the sea come?" Yang Xun asked.
Lin Xinhai nodded, looked at the time, and said: "The supply ship will arrive in three hours, and it can be sold then. Otherwise, it will be worthless if it is frozen for a few days and returned."
"How much can it be sold for at sea?"
"We'll see later, I don't know." Lin Xinhai said, "But it will definitely be more cost-effective than going back to sell fish now."
"Okay." Yang Xun nodded happily.
"Master Lin, how about the fish I caught just now? How much is it worth?" He Fei said with a smile.
"Your fish is average. That is to say, the price of fish is high now that the sea is banned. If you sell it at sea, it will cost only forty or fifty yuan." Lin Xinhai said: "If you return to land and sell it to a fisherman or a fishmonger, it will cost you at most six yuan."
seventy."
The market price is the market price, and selling it to a fishmonger or fish steak is another price.
Just like buying fish at the pier.
After the sea opens, when the fishing boats come back, they buy from those fishing boats. The price of some seafood is nearly half cheaper than going to the market.
Lin Xinhai was envious when he saw Yang Xun tying a red rope on the tail of the fish. He caught a big fish as soon as he came out. Not only was he worth the boat fare, but he also made a lot of money.
"Why hasn't Zhou Sheng come back yet?" Lin Xinhai came to Chen Yuan's side, looked at the turbulent sea, and said worriedly.
"Don't worry about him. He's so crazy every time he goes into the sea." As Chen Yuan said, he saw Zhou Sheng emerging from the sea and shouted: "Don't go down, we have to change places."
Zhou Sheng ran a long way away, so he probably didn't hear it and dived down again.
"It's time to close the pole." Lin Xinhai said, "Change the fishing spot."
Chen Yuan put away the fishing rod. Half of the body of the small fish used as bait was gone, leaving only one head: "I'll go..."
He Fei and the others laughed.
After everyone put away their fishing rods, Zhang Cheng came over to open the refrigerator and look at the fish He Fei and the others had caught.
"It's so big." Zhang Cheng said, "Is this fish worth the boat fare?"
"My one is almost there. Yang Xun's one is okay..." He Fei said.
"I've made a lot of money." Yang Xun said, "This trip to sea is worth it. I'm so lucky."
Lin Xinhai launched his fishing boat and went over to pick up Zhou Sheng.
Zhou Sheng dived into the bottom of the sea again. After waiting for four or five minutes, Zhou Sheng finally surfaced...
"What are you doing?" Chen Yuan looked at him angrily.
"Throw the rope and give me a lift." Zhou Sheng said with a smile, "I caught a big fish."
Chen Yuan threw the rope over.
Zhou Sheng had one hand in the sea and the other holding the rope.
Chen Yuan dragged him over and saw a large grouper next to Zhou Sheng, estimated to weigh twenty or thirty kilograms.
Chen Yuan bent down and picked up the grouper first.
Lin Xinhai skillfully bled the fish...
The fish has stuck out its tongue.
Stick out your tongue...
Deep-sea fish suddenly rise to the surface of the water, resulting in excessive pressure difference between the body and the outside, causing flatulence. What is unearthed is not a tongue, but a swim bladder...
"Good guy." While bleeding the fish, Lin Xinhai looked towards Chen Yuan. Seeing Zhou Sheng coming up, he said, "You turned over the dried fish with your bare hands. How did you do that?"
"I hit it on the head with a stone." Zhou Sheng gasped and said.
Lin Xinhai naturally knew how the fish died. He was just amazed that he caught twenty or thirty kilograms of grouper in the sea with his bare hands.
He Fei, Zhang Cheng and others also looked at Zhou Sheng with shocked expressions.
It's too scary.
Chen Yuan glared at Zhou Sheng angrily again, fetched seawater to rinse the grouper, and said, "You can just carry it."
Zhou Sheng took off his diving suit, wore a pair of red underpants, and held up the fish.
Chen Yuan poured the sea water from the tail of the fish.
"Have you caught any fish?" Zhou Sheng said.
"No... I was fishing for small fish just now. He Fei and Yang Xun each caught one, both big red." Chen Yuan said.
Zhou Sheng looked at He Fei and the others and nodded with a smile, and said, "After we have taken care of this fish, we will continue at another fishing spot and try to make back our money today." Zhou Sheng said.
Yang Xun said with a smile: "I have already recovered my capital, and there is still some profit left."
"Are you so naughty?"
"Excellent Da Zhang Hong." He Fei glanced at Yang Xun and said, "That guy's luck is so good."
Lin Xinhai cleaned Zhou Sheng's bag, which contained three large lobsters, five octopus, and many conches: "That's awesome, my handsome boy Sheng."
"You used to call me a moron, but now that I'm so good, you're going to fawn over me, right?" Zhou Sheng said with a smile.
"I'm not happy to call you handsome."
"I'm afraid I'll lose myself among all the handsome guys."
