At this time, we stopped at Dongwan New Port to unload the cargo.
The value of the fish caught on the boat is high, and now that we have the conditions, we will not unload the fish at the messy dock.
The new port was only completed in recent years and put into use last year, specializing in receiving refrigerated transport ships and ultra-low temperature fishing ships.
Dongwan Xingang has hoisting equipment. There is also a series of ultra-low temperature warehouses built here in Xingang. These warehouses can be rented in small quantities or in whole units.
Chen Yuan and his company, Fu'an Ocean Fishery Co., Ltd., rented a warehouse here. It was just a shared warehouse and only rented one-fifth of a warehouse. But for their company, it was enough.
Generally speaking, domestic offshore fisheries are still lagging behind. Ports specializing in receiving frozen fish are rare in China.
The Dongwan New Port is quite large and can accommodate about ten ships docking at a time.
Large companies like Dongjiang Fishery also rent warehouses here.
This side of Xingang is full of bulk transactions, unlike the fishing port wharf where people come and go.
Entering Xingang, you will see rows of white warehouses. The roads here are spacious, asphalt roads, and there are some beautiful green plants on both sides of the road.
When they were about to arrive at the dock, Chen Yuangang arrived at a container truck, which was white. This kind of container truck is specially used to transport frozen products. It has a refrigerator. Looking at the size of the refrigerator, the truck with the largest refrigerator is used to transport tuna.
Yes.
Yan Xiaoxi was behind, looking around, curious.
Arriving at the port, Chen Yuan stopped the car and saw Yan Fuli smoking next to him. He quickly got out of the car and walked over: "Uncle."
"Hey." Yan Fuli agreed with a smile.
"dad."
"Uncle." Zhou Sheng also shouted.
Yan Fuli smiled and nodded, passing cigarettes to Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng.
"Are you here to purchase goods?" Chen Yuan said.
Yanfuli said ‘hmm’ and said with a smile: “Get some grouper back.”
"See if the goods are good."
"We just came here. Your master and the others are busy. When they are done, take me to see them."
Chen Yuan and his crew had very few groupers on their boat, and they could count them all. There were a lot of groupers in the Dongjiang fishery, which were all caught in the Gilbert Islands and frozen at ultra-low temperatures.
If the ultra-low-temperature grouper is processed, the meat quality will still be very good after thawing naturally. But you are afraid of buying zombie fish, or it is not processed well.
"Is the grouper easy to sell in my hometown?" Yan Xiaoxi asked.
"It's easy to sell. A lot of people are buying from me now." Yan Fuli said, pointing to the black refrigerated truck behind him, with a square front, which should be a large truck of more than ten tons: "I bought two new trucks at once.
"
This vehicle is specially customized and has ultra-low temperature, which can guarantee a temperature of more than minus 60 degrees Celsius during transportation. There is also a large vehicle used to transport oysters, clams and the like.
At the beginning of the year, Yan Fuli bought the first batch of oysters and some grouper here. The business in the store was very good, and he later increased the amount of purchases...
They operate barbecue restaurants, grilled oysters, grilled fish, etc., and the demand is different every day. If they purchase less, they can’t sell it, and if they purchase too much, sometimes they can’t sell it all. Yan Fuli simply opened a frozen seafood shop because it can
Ordered fresh sea fish, and then sold fresh oysters... the business was actually pretty good.
The peak season at Fuli Villa is the Chinese New Year period, and there are not many customers at other times. After Yan Fuli discovered that selling marine fish was highly profitable, he concentrated on the seafood business and soon had some regular customers.
Then after Chen Yuan and his crew started fishing, Yan Fuli also tried to import some seafood, and then the business started.
Zhou Sheng ran over to find Chen Xin.
Chen Yuan and Yan Fuli chatted for a while, and then went over to look at the unloaded fish.
The frozen tuna was frozen hard one by one. When these tuna left the ultra-low temperature chamber, soon... a layer of white frost adhered to the surface.
"Have the fish inspector come to see it?" Chen Yuan walked over.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses looked over: "Hello."
"Hello."
"Du Yiming, Master Du." Wang Peng introduced: "Professional fish inspector."
"I saw these tuna last night." Lin Xinhai said with a smile.
“How is the quality?”
Du Yiming smiled and gave a thumbs up: "It was handled very professionally, no problem."
Whether tuna can be eaten raw depends on the volatile salt base nitrogen value and K value index.
"Dachao", "Chinese Super", and even part of -35℃ tuna can be used as raw food. The difference is that the proportion of tuna at different temperatures that can be eaten raw is different, the storage time is different, and the amount of cell fluid flowing out after thawing is also different.
Tuna is large and not cheap.
I won’t talk about some small transactions or transactions in small fishing ports.
Bulk commercial tuna, especially ultra-low temperature tuna, usually have fish inspectors to grade or score the tuna.
Fish inspectors are rare in China, and this profession is mainly concentrated in Japan. In Japan, all chilled tuna must be inspected by a fish inspector. It is common for tuna with good scores, especially bluefin tuna, to be sold for hundreds of thousands, or even
Just one fish is worth hundreds of thousands or millions.
Dachao is conventional ultra-low temperature tuna.
One is the temperature requirement.
Second, there are requirements for the size of tuna.
Large tuna is adult tuna. This kind of tuna does not need to have its tail removed, and the fish should be as complete as possible.
For Chinese super tuna, the individual is basically less than 70 kilograms, or even smaller. The gills and internal organs are removed. The gills are still removed entirely, and some of the tails are also removed.
What is the concept of A-level super?
Cut a fish tail into eight pieces (four large pieces and four small pieces). After thawing, all eight pieces of fish will shrink and the meat will be shiny. This is grade A.
Grade B, at least four large pieces of meat are all shrunk, and the meat is bright red in color.
Grade C, semi-shrunk, flesh color at least light red.
Grade D, no shrinkage, dull, gray or sickly two-color flesh color.
Tuna should be sold at a high price, at least A and B grades.
If grades A and B sell for 80 yuan per catty, then grade C is probably in your twenties or early thirties.
As for grade D, it is not valuable and is priced by the ton.
This is the rating of freshness. Later, it will be divided into large oil, medium oil and small oil according to the oil content. This is the grading of meat quality, usually only grade A or B.
C and D, there is no need for further subdivision.
To ensure the freshness of the fish, handle it promptly after catching, and then it’s time.
Dabai's fishing boat took more than twenty days from the time it caught to the time it returned home. And the most important fish catch, it took more than ten days from the time it caught it to now.
The freshness of the fish is impeccable.
The tuna on the ground was all labeled A.
There are several fish inspectors here. After inspecting the tuna one by one, they are weighed. Tuna of average quality are placed in stainless steel cages and pushed onto the refrigerated transport truck.
Tuna of particularly good quality can be sold individually or sent to the auction market in Shenzhen.
