As night slowly fell, the sea breeze in the Atlantic began to be strong, and Newfoundland in September had become clear and crisp in autumn. On the territory of the South Atlantic, the sea breeze was still so warm, and many fishermen were bare.
The fishermen ate silver pomfret that night. In addition, there were two golden Spanish mackerels. Zach had stewed them. The pot was rumbling and smelling.
For silver pomfret, Qin Shiou's familiar practice is oil splashing and stewing. Zach is an old cook. He chose a rare practice, that is, salad Silver Pomfret.
According to Zach's instructions, the fishermen chose the fattest more than ten fish, gilled, scaled and visceral, washed them, then cut them into sections and pickled them with refined salt, chicken essence, cooking wine, green onion and ginger.
Qin Shiou said strangely, "Hey, it turns out that cooking wine and onion, ginger and garlic are also used to make fish in Western food? It's rare? "
Zach said with a embarrassed smile, "no, Captain, I think you like to eat such pickled fish, so I did it because I have to take care of your taste."
"Oh, what a loud flattery." Shaq laughed and joked, and the others laughed.
Zach looked at Zach and said, "Hey, man, don't be sarcastic. If you give me 6000 yuan a month, I must cook for you every day. If you want to eat dog shit, I'll make fried dog shit..."
"Go to hell, you eat fried dog shit." Said Shaq.
Zach shrugged and said, "well, that's salad dog shit, but your taste is really strange. Does salad dressing mix dog shit taste good?"
The fishermen laughed again. The bull whistled at shack and said with a laugh, "boss shack, you've been fooled!"
Shaq threw a piece of silver pomfret at Zach, and the two fought on the deck.
With a smile, the receiver picked up the pickled fish and took it to the kitchen cabin to start cooking.
Qin Shiou stood at the door and asked, "can you do it, too?"
The receiver skillfully heated the oil pan and said with a smile: "of course, boss, of course. I'm a doormat. When I'm in the army, I have to deal with logistics and everything we don't like. "
Qin Shiou likes this middle-aged soldier very much. Although he is not young, he is very young. He smiles all the time. Someone calls him for help and never says much. He will certainly help.
When the oil is hot, dip the fish pieces with bread bran into the pot, then take them out after the fish are fried, mix the salad dressing and mix the fish pieces.
Qin Shiou said speechless. This dish is really simple. It's not as complicated as stewing Silver Pomfret.
However, after eating one piece, Qin Shiou nodded with satisfaction. It tasted very good. The silver pomfret meat was delicious, fat and tender. The fish pieces were fried in oil and very crisp. With different flavors of salad dressing, it tasted very good.
When the stewed mackerel came out of the pot, the fishermen each took a lunch box and put fish meat and fish pieces, together with the roast beef brought from the island. Another person came to a bottle of iced beer and a satisfying dinner came out.
Shaq calculates this entry while eating. The wholesale price of silver pomfret is about $56 a pound. Newfoundland can be more expensive because it is not produced in the Atlantic Ocean, but in the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean.
In this way, more than five tons of silver pomfret can also be credited with 60000 or 70000 yuan.
However, the fishermen were not satisfied. They could sell more than 100000 for catching a bluefin tuna. They rushed to the sea area all the way, not for 60000 or 70000 yuan, not even enough for oil, let alone labor.
Qin Shiou has no plans. Why should these fish be brought back to Newfoundland for wholesale? Miami is not far from Bermuda. He just sent it directly to Butler?
Because the silver pomfret is full of meat, with few bones and delicious meat, it was caught indiscriminately a few years ago. Now the number has decreased greatly, and the value of single sale in the seafood market has increased significantly. In some places, it has become a top-grade seafood treasure.
If you retail, it's OK to sell these silver pomfrets for 200000. This is the power of the channel. Without the channel, you can only sell them at a low price.
The receiver laughed while eating fried fish and drinking beer. The bull next to him moved his ass and said, "man, don't laugh suddenly. It's like a madman. It's too scary, God, it's too scary!"
The angry bag smiled and said, "I'm a happy smile, can't I?"
"How can you smile happily?"
The silent trigger put down the lunch box and said, "for you, this kind of dinner is very common. For us, with a high salary, we can also blow the sea breeze, eat seafood and drink beer, and don't worry about the cold arrow in the dark. That's happiness."
The receiver raised the bottle and said loudly, "yes, guys, this is a happy life. Come on, let's drink to happiness!"
The fishermen shouted cheers, raised their heads and poured beer into their mouths.
Shack arranged for the fishermen to watch the night. The bull took people to pick up the fishing rod hanging at the stern of the ship. No one was watching at night. Don't have a big fish bite the hook, and then take the fishing rod away, so it's not necessary to put it away now.
While packing the fishing rod, the bull suddenly shouted in surprise, "Hey, God, is there such a thing?"
Qin Shiou didn't care. The bull liked to be surprised at first, but after other fishermen came up to see it, they also exclaimed one after another, which aroused his curiosity and went over to have a look.
The bull carried a small fish less than 20 cm in his hand. The fish was a bit like a hairtail. Its body was long and flat, its radian gradually narrowed from head to tail, its abdomen was round, and its upper jaw was very long, which exceeded the base of the pectoral fin.
On the whole, the fish looks like a military knife, especially the caudal fin. The shape of the sharp knife is particularly obvious. Its head and back are light blue, its body side is yellow, its abdomen is white, and its fins are beige.
Qin Shiou knew what it was at a glance. There were many such fish living in the Sargasso around the shipwreck. He had just met them at the bottom of the sea. He didn't care because the fish were too small and the school of fish was not big.
Now it seems that this kind of fish is a little strange, otherwise the fishermen won't be so excited when they see it, so he wants to ask the identity of the fish. As a result, he doesn't need to speak, and the receiver who is not familiar with the fishery has asked him: "what is this little fish?"
Shack said with a smile, "this is the Pearl of the Atlantic Ocean, man. It comes from a big source. It's a very precious fish."
"What is it?"
"Florida Coilia!"
Hearing the name "Coilia Coilia", Qin Shiou moved in his heart and asked, "Coilia Coilia? Is this kind of fish born in the river and grown in the sea? "
The river grows in the sea is a Newfoundland fishing jargon, which refers to the kind of fish that need to migrate to fresh water to spawn but eventually return to the sea to prey and grow, such as salmon.
The reason for asking is that Qin Shiou thought of another famous fish: the Yangtze River knife fish.
He vaguely remembered that the scientific name of the Yangtze River swordfish seemed to be Coilia Coilia.
