Fisherwoman: After my divorce, I became rich by fishing at sea

Oh my god, such a big mantis shrimp must be delicious to eat!

Fu Wan took the lead, and Fu Ming and his companions were not to be outdone. They also followed suit and caught the remaining mantis shrimps.

The bucket looked only about one meter high, but it contained more than twenty large mantis shrimps. Not only that, there were five or six of them with black and white stripes. The patterns gave Ye Lin goosebumps.

Oh my god, why does this pattern look so much like that of a coral reef snake?

Speaking of which, this was not the first time Fu Wan had seen large mantis shrimps. In later generations, they had another name, called wealth shrimps.

The name "Fortune Shrimp" is actually a marketing gimmick. They are actually a type of mantis shrimp, but because of their larger size and appearance, they were given a different name to increase their price.

The scientific name of the mantis shrimp is Acanthodes spinosa. They are generally very large in size, with bright yellow edges. After being steamed, their bodies turn orange-red, with obvious black textures on their backs. Their shells are also much harder than those of ordinary mantis shrimp.

This kind of steamed mantis shrimp tastes very good, and it is large in size and has a lot of meat, which fully makes up for the shortcomings of ordinary mantis shrimps that are small in size and have less meat.

Of course, its price is not cheap either, basically five or six times that of ordinary mantis shrimp.

As for those black and white striped ones next to them, they are actually a type of mantis shrimp.

The market name is also simple and crude, called zebra mantis shrimp. This mantis shrimp has a very distinctive appearance, with black and white or yellow and white stripes on its back, which looks exactly like the pattern on a zebra.

Zebra mantis shrimp can be said to be the largest species of mantis shrimp. The large ones are even larger than the palinurus shrimp. Their body length is generally at least 40 centimeters, and a single one can weigh up to one kilogram.

Zebra mantis shrimp are very aggressive and will attack their prey just like mantis shrimp.

Zebra mantis shrimp is generally distributed in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This kind of mantis shrimp is also considered the most delicious among all mantis shrimps. The meat is extremely sweet and fresh, the shell is soft and has no particularly hard spines. It tastes good both blanched and salted with pepper.

Not only is there a lot of meat, but there is even the possibility of explosion of cream.

Of course, the unique shape also makes the price particularly attractive. This kind of shrimp is basically not seen in the area around Fujia Village Wharf. Fu Wan estimated that the price of this zebra mantis shrimp should be much higher than that of the rich shrimp.

But there were only a few of them, and to be honest, Fu Wan was reluctant to sell them. She and her family were used to eating ordinary mantis shrimps, and she and her family had never tasted such large mantis shrimps!

Boss Fu guessed what Fu Wan was thinking the moment she looked at her. He could only shake his head helplessly and said, "Awan and Aming, don't just stand there. While those mantis shrimp are still alive, quickly put them into the live water tank. Don't let them die!"

"Hey, good!"

Fu Wan came back to her senses. What her father said made sense. No matter how valuable the mantis shrimp was, if it died, its tail would be an empty shell and the meat would immediately fall apart, making it impossible to eat.

She and Fu Ming hurriedly poured the mantis shrimps in the bucket into the live water tank. Fu Ming was no longer angry about the broken bucket, but rather felt a little curious about it.

Just think about it, there can be so many rare shrimps hidden under a broken bucket. If there were more, he would make a fortune!

"Ouch! I have to dig a few more times to see if there are any more shrimps underneath!"

Fu Ming did what he said and started searching again with a rake.

Fu Wan, however, did not hold much hope. There were very few alive seafood caught in the dragnet. These mantis shrimps were squeezed to death by fish, shrimps and crabs because they hid in the bucket and were blocked by jellyfish.

Even if there are, they don’t look this big at first glance. They are all ordinary-sized shrimps.

Fu Ming searched for a long time, but he didn't see any more mantis shrimp or zebra shrimp. He was a little discouraged, but soon he was happy again.

Because the rocket squids picked out by this website are so beautiful!

It is the squid breeding season now. There are several kinds of squids caught in their net, including the beautiful rocket squids and many medium-sized airplane squids.

The appearance of airplane squid is not as good as that of rocket squid. Even if the rocket squid is slightly damaged in the trawl, it is still fresh and transparent with a hint of pink, which makes people feel clean when looking at it.

The appearance of the airplane squid is not that good-looking. Not only is it several times smaller in size, but its appearance is also black with a hint of red. This kind of squid has a stronger fishy smell and is not suitable for blanching. It should be stir-fried with chili peppers and other seasonings.

It's a pity that there is no dry barbecue around Fujia Village at the moment, otherwise these airplane squids would be very suitable to be placed on the wire mesh and roasted until golden brown, and then add some chili powder and cumin, and they would taste so delicious.

The strong fishy smell does not mean that it is not fresh. The unit price of airplane squid is now two or three yuan per catty, and everyone is sorting it very quickly.

Robert and Tom didn't notice the difference between the two squids at first. It was only after the experienced Jack explained it to them that they discovered these tricks.

In addition to squid, there were also some worthless small fish and shrimps, which were directly shoveled into the fish basket with a shovel. After rinsing them, Ye Lin took some back to Ye Jun to dry and feed the chickens and ducks.

As for the rest, there are people buying them at the dock, but they are relatively cheap, about one or two cents per pound.

It took two hours to sort the fish in the net. After seeing Fu Haishun and others move the seafood into the cold storage, Fu Wan washed her hands and called Fu Qing and Fang Min to go back to the rest cabin to sleep.

It’s almost ten o’clock in the evening. If I don’t go to sleep now, I’ll have to get up again after logging off the internet.

Jack, Robert and Tom were also so sleepy that they could not open their eyes. When the three of them boarded the boat, they were still fresh and clean young men. After drifting on the sea for two days, they had turned into decadent young men with stubble on their faces.

However, they were very energetic when fishing and eating, but Fu Wan estimated that they would not want to go out to sea to fish for a long time.

After all, being a fisherman is really tiring.

Not to mention anything else, I can't sleep for more than eight hours a day. At most, I can take a nap for four or five hours, and then I have to get off the Internet.

Strictly speaking, it's less than four or five hours, because it takes two or three hours to sort the fish after the net is pulled up. After the fish are sorted, if the underwater resources are good, the net has to be pulled up again just as we fall asleep.

Fu Wan was also extremely tired. She fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow in the rest cabin. She slept until the alarm rang and did not even have a dream.

I took out my watch and saw that it was a little after three in the morning. This meant that I had been dragging the net for nearly seven hours.

Fu Wan got out of bed and washed her face with cold water. Then she put on her hat and apron. Just as she opened the door and was about to leave the rest cabin, she found that Xiao Huang was guarding her door.

"Chirp!"

Xiao Huang opened his eyes and tilted his head to look at Fu Wan. Seeing that she was fully armed, his eyes revealed confusion.

Fu Wan had no choice. The wind was strong on the sea in the early morning and there was no shelter on the deck. If she didn't wear a hat and a scarf, she would easily get a headache when she looked back and her face would easily become chapped.
