Toad crab is a special crab in St. Lawrence Bay. Its output is relatively low, so it has not been sold and has no reputation. Few people know this kind of crab, let alone eat it, except local people.

Qin Shiou has heard of this kind of crab. He heard people talk in the bar when he came to St. Lawrence Bay to catch lobster last time, but he didn't eat it at that time. The hotel only has frozen second-hand goods. Now he can hold it in his mouth and doesn't eat second-hand seafood.

Now I hear that there are such crabs in the sea in front of the small fishing village. Qin Shiou is very happy, which is really a surprise.

Toad crab is the translation of Qin Shiou. This kind of crab has no specific name. There are many similar situations in the ocean. Many small and worthless creatures are living silently and namelessly.

But what's the need for a name? For marine organisms, it seems that the less attention they attract, the better they can live.

Local people call this kind of crab "toad crab". Its literal translation is toad crab. Among sea crabs, they are small, with slender legs. They are a bit like a mini version of emperor crab. There are many natural enemies, and their number has been unable to rise.

The toad and crab were salvaged with a throwing net. The bald boss sailed out to sea. He looked at the sea carefully and said something in his mouth. Qin Shiou was very confused. Does the old man also have the heart of sea god?

Poseidon consciousness is vertical and horizontal at the bottom of the sea. Qin Shiou soon saw some fist sized crabs moving on the bottom of the sea. The surrounding sea areas are not angry. The number of COD is really small, and there are few herring and mackerel, which can be seen everywhere in other sea areas.

However, this may be the reason for the survival of toad crabs. Crabs have a relatively low position in the marine food chain, such as sailfish, tuna and even sea bass. Therefore, most sea crabs grow larger, so it is difficult for Toad crabs to survive.

There are not many fish in the sea area around the queen fishing village, so the biological chain can not be connected naturally. In this way, toads and crabs have living space. If they are put in Daqin fishing ground, it is estimated that they will become extinct in a few days.

Poseidon realized that he found a group of toads and crabs. At this time, the bald boss also stopped the boat, turned back and said with a smile: "there are toads and crabs here. Let's next net, so lunch is enough."

Qin Shiou looked at the bald boss in surprise. He was really convinced. Relying on the Sea God consciousness, he could find these toads and crabs, but the boss certainly didn't have this ability. How did he find this crab group?

The bald boss threw the fishing net down, then sat in the bow of the boat and began to smoke.

Qin Shiou asked the question, and the bald boss smiled proudly: "this is experience, young man, this is the experience of the old fisherman! I can tell you, but it's useless, because it depends on feeling and observation. It's not useful to just know what's going on. "

Qin Shiou puts himself in a low position. He doesn't matter. The catch is only obtained by the heart of the sea god. The bald boss is really powerful!

Fishermen and sailors who live on the sea admire people with real skills, so Qin Shiou is not old and qualified, but he can hold down those rough men in the fishing ground. Why? Because he can catch the most fish and shrimp and the largest fish.

The bald boss smoked a cigarette and explained to him the tips of looking for Toad crabs. Generally, this kind of crabs stay in shallow water and have a special preference for their habitat. They like to eat a kind of seaweed, so they should pay attention to whether there are seaweed fragments on the water surface. The more fragments, the more crabs below.

This is the most intuitive place to judge. The rest should be carried out from the aspects of sea water, light, wave fluctuation and even the sixth sense. Anyway, Qin Shiou felt that he had no eggs after listening carefully.

After chatting for more than 20 minutes, the bald boss and Qin Shiou pulled up the fishing net together. There were light orange crabs lying in the green fishing net.

Qin Shiou took one and looked at it. No wonder this crab is called toad crab. It is short and fat. There are many bulges and depressions on its shell. It is similar to Toad's skin and similar in size. This name is really vivid.

The bald boss picked the crabs one by one. If they were smaller than the young man's fist, he threw them back into the water. Only the big ones stayed. In this way, he also caught a lot, a full 40 or so.

With these crabs, the bald boss sailed back. When he was on the shore, he met two teenagers with a net bag in their hands, which was the e snail they touched.

Qin Shiou asked them whether they would sell it or not. The two children nodded happily. He took out 200 yuan and handed it to the two children. This is not his pity for the two children. In fact, the snail in the net bag of others has to be more than ten kilograms, and more than ten yuan a kilogram, almost 200 yuan.

The Ministry of Fisheries prepared lunch, which was made by the wife of the bald boss. A group of fishery owners were divided into four tables, almost a table of more than ten people. The dishes were mainly green vegetables and common sea conch.

There are toads, crabs and e-snails on the table at Qin Shiou's side. Buck and others asked why they didn't. the bald boss glanced at him and said that he invited the pleasing children to eat. It has an egg relationship with you.

Hubble, Andrew and others at the table with Qin Shiou motioned to Qin Shiou and the bald boss. Matthew king said humorously, "look, if anyone says that we have racial discrimination in Canada, we must invite them to see today's scene. It turns out that as long as you can contribute to the people around you, they won't discriminate against you. "

There is racial discrimination in Canada, but the most discriminating against the yellow people is never the white people, but the third brother of India, South Americans and Mexicans. The most discriminating against the Chinese are the Japanese and Koreans. Of course, they may not discriminate, but despise.

The meat of toad crab is not as abundant as that of emperor crab and queen crab, but it is particularly strong. It has a toughness in the mouth and has a different flavor when chewing, which is different from other sea crab meat that melts in the mouth.

Qin Shiou was full after eating five or six toads and crabs. It was not that he had a small appetite, but that he piled a lot of e snail shells in front of him. It tasted good when dipped in mustard. It was so exciting and delicious.

Leaving Queen's fishing village, the group went to a small fishing village not far away. This was once a famous fishing village in Newfoundland. Now it has become more dilapidated without fishery support. There are only two families in the whole village!

"Look, these used to be the best fishing grounds. Now you can see what they have become." Matthew King sighed.

Qin Shiou whispered to him, "after my visit, I have a deeper idea of building a fishing ground, but I don't think it's also useful for those guys. They have no conscience!"

This is not the bad words he said behind his back, but the real idea in his heart. You told the executioner that killing is cruel, isn't it in vain?

Matthew smiled and said slowly, "I don't care if they have any ideas. I just want to tell them through these fishing villages that if there is no fishing ground, Canada's coastal economy will collapse. The state and the Ministry of fisheries will never allow this to happen! So if they spoil the fishing ground again, don't blame our Fisheries Department for being cruel! "
