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

After finishing this job, everyone can take a rest.

It was almost one o'clock at this time. Because the sea area that Fu Wan was going to this time was not only far but also remote, there was no sign of any other ship on the sea except theirs.

The moon was still hanging in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the sea, making the entire sea even more silent.

Fu Wan washed her hands and happened to see Ye Lin yawning and preparing to take a rest.

"Awan, the next net should be cast at dawn!"

Fu Wan calculated, "It should be about the same. It depends on the situation. If we encounter a school of fish, it's possible to set up the net at four or five o'clock."

Seeing the sleepiness on everyone's face, Fu Wan waved her hand.

"No matter what time we need to start the nets, everyone should go to bed first. My dad and the others will ring the ship's bell to wake everyone up when we need to start the nets."

At this moment, it was still Boss Fu who was driving the boat. Chen Balian had made an appointment with him to come and take over the shift at three o'clock.

After working for most of the night, Fu Wan was really tired.

Back in the rest cabin, she went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, took a shower, and then fell asleep.

I don't know how long it was before the ship's bell rang, and it lasted for about a minute before stopping.

Then there was a sound of footsteps outside the rest cabin, and everyone woke up.

Fu Wan sat up and rubbed her temples, then picked up the watch beside her and took a look at it.

It was a little after five o'clock, which meant the net had been dragged for nearly four hours.

It's almost the same.

Unable to sleep, she washed her face and went downstairs. Just then, the net bag was raised onto the deck.

"Awan, are you awake too?"

Fu Ming greeted them and Fu Wan nodded. Everyone reacted instinctively when they pulled up the net. Now the moisture brought up by the net was blown on their faces by the sea breeze, and everyone instantly became much more awake.

"Hey, I wonder what the harvest will be like?"

"Open it and you'll know!"

Fu Ming and Fu Liang stepped forward to untie the rope, and as soon as the rope was pulled open, all the fish fell out.

When everyone saw the fish in the net, they were shocked.

"What is this, tuna?"

Ye Lin was very excited when he first saw the appearance of the tuna, but when he saw the strange-looking tuna in front of him clearly, he was confused again.

"They don't look like bluefin tuna, nor do they look like yellowfin tuna. What are these?"

“It’s albacore tuna.”

Fu Dahai solved Ye Lin's doubts, and Fu Wan stepped forward, grabbed the tail of a fish and lifted it up to look at it.

“Albacore, indeed.”

Albacore tuna looks 80% similar to bluefin tuna and yellowfin tuna. The most typical difference is that its pectoral fins are particularly long, almost longer than the gills to the second pectoral fin.

This is also the origin of its name.

The color of the albacore tuna's back is a relatively dark blue, while the color of its belly and edges is silvery white. The overall shape of the fish is very smooth, like a small torpedo.

Another distinctive feature of the albacore tuna is the color of its pelvic fins. The front pelvic fins are dark yellow, while the back pelvic fins are lighter yellow.

This fish does not taste as good as yellowfin and bluefin tuna, and is not as big as bluefin tuna.

Generally, albacore tuna weighs more than ten kilograms, and at most eighty or ninety kilograms, and no one weighs more than one hundred kilograms.

Because the taste of albacore tuna is not as good as that of yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna, the price of albacore tuna is much lower than that of yellowfin and bluefin tuna.

But it also has a lot of fat in its belly. For some people who want to try tuna but are short of money, sometimes albacore tuna is the most cost-effective choice.

And according to Fu Wan's memory, albacore tuna is very suitable for making canned fish. She happens to have a cannery, so why not send some over to try?

Maybe the cannery can really develop a batch of good canned tuna!

Thinking of this, Fu Wan hurriedly greeted everyone.

"Hurry, pick out these albacore tuna quickly. Brother, and Aliang and Alin, go find some suitable knives and bleed these selected tuna!"

After saying that, she also drew out the dagger she carried with her.

No one knows how these albacore tunas got into the trawl net. In fact, under normal circumstances, most tunas are caught in small amounts.

This kind of trawling is still rare.

After all, tuna swim very fast in the water, and usually swim away immediately when they sense danger.

But now that the fish have been brought onto the deck by the trawl net, Fu Wan is no longer worried about it.

There should be hundreds of albacore tuna in this net, the largest of which is less than one meter long.

Fu Wan, Fu Ming and others suddenly turned into professional fish slaughterers. They cut off the tuna's tail with a single stroke of the knife, and then cut the blood vessels behind the pectoral fin.

This action requires great skill, because the incision cannot be too deep, otherwise the blood in the blood vessels will overflow and contaminate the tuna meat, affecting the taste.

At the same time, it cannot be too shallow. After all, there are two blood vessels there, and they cannot be cut without some force.

So Fu Wan specifically asked Fu Ming, Fu Liang, Ye Lin and others to do it. After all, they had bled tuna several times and were already very skilled at it.

After bleeding the tuna, Fu Ming found a water pipe and cleaned the fish one by one.

He joked as he worked.

"Oh, luckily there aren't too many tuna here, otherwise my old waist would be broken."

Fu Liang and Ye Lin were still bleeding the remaining tuna. Upon hearing this, Ye Lin immediately rolled his eyes at him.

"Are you still tired? How many people can catch so many fish!"

Fu Wan also interjected.

"I think you're just idle. If you go to the dock and say that, I'll see if the villagers will push you into the alley and beat you up!"

"Haha, of course, they're just jealous of me!"

Fu Ming laughed proudly twice. Although he was a bit talkative, his hands were not slow at all.

They were processing the tuna here, and Fang Min, Fu Dahai and a group of people were busy picking out the remaining fish.

In addition to tuna, this net also contains a lot of shrimps, crabs, and various kinds of sea fish.

Fu Wan thought that these albacore tuna must have been caught in a trawl while hunting, because some of the tunas even had a lot of palm-sized fish and shrimp in their mouths.

Seeing that the tuna was almost processed, Fu Wan stood up to check the results of Fang Min and the others' selection.

Ten baskets of prawns, five baskets of king crabs, and six baskets of mantis shrimp were picked out. To Fu Wan's surprise, there were also ten baskets of tiger crabs.

The tiger crab has a very strange appearance. The crab shell has the same texture as tiger skin. Because it can squat like a frog, some people locally call this crab a frog-shaped crab.

This was the first time Fu Wan had seen such a strange-looking crab.

It happened that at this time, Boss Fu and Chen Balian changed shifts. Knowing that they were sorting fish, Boss Fu came to the deck specifically to see the catch.

"Hey, why are there tiger crabs?"

"There are quite a few, Dad. Are these crabs delicious?"
