After a good start, the crew successively pulled out three or four tuna weighing more than 100 kilograms. The largest one even weighed 400 kilograms.
Bluefin tuna resources are already relatively scarce, and now that they have encountered such a group, the crew naturally refuses to give up easily.
However, when the seventh tuna was easily pulled to the surface by the winch, Zhou Yan just glanced at it and frowned: it was only less than half a meter long.
"This one is too small! Cut the thread!"
The crew member responsible for taking up the line was stunned for a moment, then pulled out a multifunctional dagger from the scabbard tied to his calf and cut the fishing line.
Several other crew members who were reeling in the line glanced at the tension sensor data on the electric winch, then pulled out the multi-functional daggers tied to their legs and cut the fishing line that was about to be reached.
Lin Shengfei, who was watching the excitement, felt a little surprised. It was not because the fish had been released, but because all the sailors had daggers on their legs.
"Brother Yan, you are from the Marine Corps? Why do you always go to sea with weapons?"
"Basic requirements for fishing." Zhou Yan smiled and picked up a chair, walked to his fishing position and put it down. He looked back at Lin Shengfei, who was moving forward with fishing gear. "If you have ever been on a trawler,
, you know that it is very necessary to carry a dagger..."
"Why?"
"Every year, many fishermen are taken into the sea by fishing nets or trawl cables because of setting up nets. With a dagger, at least they can save themselves..."
While the two were chatting, most of the crew had already finished reeling in the line, removed the fishing rods, and then started cleaning up the rear class.
When Zhou Yan's father and others, who got up late, arrived after eight o'clock, the back deck had returned to its original state. Only Zhou Yan, Lin Shengfei and Zhao Yongxin were sitting lazily on folding chairs, enjoying the rising sunshine.
"Brother, my dad said he caught a large number of tuna this morning?"
Cousin Li Jinling kept roving her eyes on the back deck, wanting to see what the tuna looked like.
"I'm late, I'm already done!" Zhou Yan looked back at his cousin and smiled, "Don't we have a Japanese food shop in Dongyang? It is said that there is tuna there every day..."
"I can't afford it!" Li Jinling said with a confused look on her face, "I also plan to save money to buy a set of post-production software. I don't want to pay IQ tax!"
"Zhou Yan," Mr. Zhou, who was arm-in-arm with Qin Fangyuan, smiled and put down his exclusive fishing gear, "How about we eat tuna at noon!"
"Uncle Zhou..." Lin Shengfei couldn't help but smile, "We would like to eat it, but the fish is too big..."
"How big can it be?" Mr. Zhou said with rare pride, "We have dozens of people on board!"
"The smallest one weighs more than 150 kilograms!" Lin Shengfei teased with a smile.
"Then eat it. If you can't finish it, you can freeze it!" Father Zhou looked back at Li Yulin, who was walking around with his son, "Brother-in-law, you should know how to prepare tuna, right?"
"Tuna?" Li Yulin was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and glanced at Qin Fangyuan beside him, "I've never done it before, Mr. Qin, what about you?"
Qin Fangyuan shook his head blankly: "Our family has never done this before!"
Li Yulin could only glance at the lazy Zhou Yan: "Third brother-in-law, ask your son!"
"Zhou Yan..."
The problem went full circle and returned to Zhou Yan.
"Sushi, sashimi, charcoal grill, I can do it!"
"I'll help you then!" Li Yulin smiled and took out a life jacket from the cabinet on the side, put it on his son, then grabbed a folding chair and placed it in front of several people's fishing buckets.
"Oh, by the way, the squid must have been caught..."
"There are special squid fishing boats," my uncle's question just hit Zhao Yongxin's itch, "Squid fishing is usually done at night, with lights on..."
In coastal cities, squid are often called "living ghosts". A huge one will shrink by half after being blanched.
Moreover, compared to other seafood that can be eaten in a variety of ways, squid can only be cooked and fried, or rinsed, or grilled on a teppanyaki.
“Brother Yan, can your people find a spot to catch squid?”
"Do you want to eat squid too?" Zhou Yan smiled and glanced at the agitated Young Master Lin, "Captain Lao Deng is from Zhoushan, he should know which waters have squid!"
While talking, Zhou Yan heard the bell on the fishing rod suddenly ring, and quickly turned around and grabbed the handle of the fishing rod.
"Took the bait?"
"There is a big product, I don't know if it is tuna..."
Judging from the strength fed back from the fishing rod, the fish that was hooked should be quite big, so Zhou Yan had to reel in the line while holding the fishing rod and wrestling with the big fish underwater.
The two sides fought for five or six minutes. The fish under the water gradually couldn't hold on any longer and allowed Zhou Yan to pull it to the surface.
"What kind of fish is this?" Lin Shengfei stood up and glanced into the sea. He found that the fish on the water looked very similar to a tuna, but the fins were not that conspicuous.
"Yellow-striped amberjack!"
Zhou Yan's voice was filled with excitement, and he quickly reeled in the line and pulled the fish to the deck.
"Someone comes here and holds the fish down..."
Zhou Yan quickly pulled out the multifunctional knife attached to his calf, bled the fish, and quickly cleaned the gills and belly of the fish.
Zhao Yongxin, the "King of Fishes" on the side, stared at the nearly one-meter-long fish for a long time before trying to ask: "Zhou Yan, is this thing also called yellow bonito?"
"That's what it's called over there in Jinzhou!"
After finishing the processing, Zhou Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced back at the crew waiting aside: "Just put this fish on ice. It will be cooked at noon..."
Father Zhou was a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yan's arrangement: "Didn't you say you want to eat tuna?"
"Yellow striped amberjack is much better than tuna!"
"Real or false?" Mr. Zhou stared at Zhao Yongxin doubtfully.
"Tuna is famous because the Japanese like to eat it. In terms of taste, it's a little worse than this yellow-striped amberjack..." Zhao Yongxin glanced at the yellow-striped amberjack that was being sent to the icehouse, "Besides, the yellow-striped amberjack is also
It’s relatively rare…”
Lin Shengfei, who had also taken the bait, was slightly envious as he watched the others discussing the yellow-striped amberjack, and could only watch helplessly...
"Brother Fei, there's fish on your side!"
Zhou Yan shouted loudly before Lin Shengfei came back to his senses.
"Ah, yes!" Lin Shengfei stepped forward and grabbed the handle of the fishing rod, shaking the reel excitedly, intending to retrieve the fishing line.
At first, the movements went very smoothly, but soon, the smile on Lin Shengfei's face solidified and turned into a serious look.
"Brother Yan, there is a big fish!"
"Let's do this," Zhou Yan stretched out a hand and grabbed the fishing rod, "I'll slide the fish for you, and you reel in the line!"
"good!"
After Lin Shengfei let go, Zhou Yan realized: This guy is really lucky and has caught a big fish.
Li Jinling, who had already missed the golden gun fishing scene, took advantage of the opportunity and happily held her camera and pointed it at the sea.
"Put the line out!"
Lin Shengfei released the line slightly, Zhou Yan sent it out, and then pulled it back.
"Retract the line!"
After going back and forth for more than ten minutes, the big fish under the water was exhausted and finally couldn't hold it anymore and was gradually pulled out of the water.
"Tuna?" After seeing clearly, Young Master Lin exclaimed.
"Absolutely, bonito!" Seeing that the eldest young master was a little disappointed, Zhou Yan added, "It has the same purpose as tuna. Most tuna cans on the market are filled with this stuff..."
"Oh..." Young Master Lin's face looked much better now.
