Chapter 954 Fishing is a Big Industry
Chapter 950 Fishing is a Big Industry

After Lewis went to sail the boat, Li Junge entered the small kitchen on the boat and began to rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

There are many things, such as white onion, lettuce, red bell pepper, ginger, crushed black pepper, Japanese soy sauce, sugar, white wine, white sesame, chives, salad dressing, tomato sauce, and concentrated sauce.

It seems that Lewis is also a foodie.

Now that the seasoning is so complete, this meal is easy to prepare.

Wash the cod first, then gently wipe off the water of the cod with a kitchen paper towel, sprinkle a little black pepper on both sides to marinate.

Then wash the mackerel fillet and control the water, put it in a basin and add green onion and ginger slices. If there is no cooking wine, use white wine instead, then add an appropriate amount of salt, mix the seasoning gently, and marinate it in the same way.

Then heat up the oil pan, and then take out the frozen cooked French fries from the refrigerator.

After the French fries were fried and put aside, Li Junge started to process the cod.

Beat two eggs, add a little pepper, and wrap the cod with egg liquid.

Add a little oil to the pan, add white onions and ginger and stir-fry for a while, add cod and fry on low heat for about 2 minutes on both sides, remove and set aside.

Pour an appropriate amount of Japanese soy sauce, sugar, concentrated cooking juice, and white wine into the pot, cook until thickened, add chopped shallots, and cooked white sesame seeds to serve as the sauce for pan-fried cod.

Then cut the lettuce and red bell pepper into shreds, put the cod fillets on the bottom, pour the sauce, and the first dish is finished.

Then dry the marinated mackerel fillets with kitchen paper.

Put some oil in the pan, put the fish fillet into the hot oil and fry until golden on both sides, remove and control the oil.

Then set up another pot, add a little oil, add shallots, ginger, and garlic slices and sauté until fragrant, then add tomato sauce and white wine, continue to sauté until fragrant, add an appropriate amount of hot water, add the concentrated sauce and boil, then add sugar, Made into a sweet and sour sauce.

Next, it’s time for your own seasoning. Turn out a small bottle of five-spice powder from the space, add it to the soup, wait for the sauce to boil, put in the fried fish pieces, boil on high heat and turn to low heat to simmer.

Then continue to fry the fish fillets on the other side, wait for the new pot of fish fillets to be fried, take out the fish fillets with rich sauce in the soup pot and put them on a plate, put the new fish fillets in while they are hot to soak.

A meal is ready, the destination, Langou, has arrived, and the sun has already set.

Li Junge went to hear the sound of the engine shutting down, so he took out the smoked mackerel, pan-fried cod and French fries.

The two sat in the fishing position at the stern of the boat, with a large plate of food in front of each of them, and a box of beer in the middle, and began to eat and drink.

The two fish dishes, one in the middle and the other in the west, the cod was fresh and tender, and the mackerel was charred, which was highly praised by Lewis. He held up the bright red mackerel fillet and said to Li Junge: "This is the real perfect match with beer! You must definitely serve this dish teach me."

Li Junge smiled and said, "If there is Chinese-style soy sauce, the flavor of this dish will be more authentic, but you should be able to buy it in the United States? There is also a Chinese-style five-spice powder. Go to the supermarket that sells Chinese seasonings and find a brown one. A small yellow cardboard box next to it, with a picture of an old man wearing a tall white hat, that’s it.”

After talking about the method to Lewis, Lewis said: "I thought you made it on the uninhabited island, I was wondering! Hahaha, the name is smoked fish, but it turned out not smoked at all! Come on Jungle, take one, I wish you good luck tomorrow!"

Li Junge said: "Squid is not willing to do it."

Lewis said with a smile: "Real fishermen are like this. They would rather go hungry than prepare enough bait."

Li Junge smiled: "It seems that you have done a lot of things! Come on, let's go for this spirit!"

The two continued talking and laughing while eating, Li Junge said: "These two kinds of fish taste good."

Lewis said: "That is, before the fishing season comes every year, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Russia, the European Union and other countries with a thriving marine fishing industry in the world have to meet to discuss and negotiate the fishing of herring and cod in the Atlantic spring according to the resource situation. Quotas, and the new year's fishing can only start after an agreement is reached."

Li Junge asked: "Really? It's so grand?"

Lewis said: "Must! The annual herring quota is more than 40 tons, and the cod is more than 120 million tons. This is a big industry worth tens of billions of dollars!"

Li Junge said: "This is really amazing."

Lewis said: "These two kinds of fish win by quantity, and the highest value per yield is bluefin tuna. One fish can be sold for a high price of 70 U.S. dollars, and the highest auction price is as high as more than 100 million U.S. dollars. .”

After finishing speaking, he sighed and said, "But it is a fish caught in Japan. 80.00% of this fish is sold to Japan. They like this fish very much."

Li Junge laughed and said, "You have to be rich to afford it."

Lewis shook his head: "Actually, I don't think this fish is so delicious. The problem now is that there and Australia are catching a lot of first-year-old fish for farming. Our side has destroyed habitats due to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This year's share is less than It was much less last year, and I got a total of three shares."

After finishing speaking, he said excitedly: "However, the price this year is very good. If you can really catch one, the guarantee of 70 US dollars should be a question of US dollars."

Li Junge said with a smile: "I dare not think of such luck. How big can this fish be?"

Lewis said: "The biggest record is more than three meters and a weight of more than 700 kilograms, but that is something in modern history. The most recent catch record is 410 kilograms."

"But the bigger the fish, the better. The quality of the meat, the processing technology after boarding, the storage time, and the market demand are all critical. It doesn't mean that the bigger the fish, the more expensive it is."

After speaking, he laughed again: "There is also a very interesting thing about this fish, such as sailfish and swordfish, that is, the size of the newborn fish is actually very small, usually only a few millimeters, but when it grows up, it can actually become such a colossus."

Li Junge shook his head: "The freshwater fish in our Lijiagou are easy to handle. The fish can be artificially fertilized, so it is relatively easy to save. Such a big sea fish is still a big guy with a speed of nearly [-] kilometers per hour and a few hundred kilograms. The kinetic energy is enough to make the aquarium drink a pot, eh, is it feasible to carry out artificial breeding in some kind of sea cage in Australia?"

"Those are things that scientists study, and I'm a fisherman," Lewis said.

After speaking, he stood up, raised the wine bottle and shouted at the sea and sky: "I am a hardcore who wants to conquer the sea!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "One moment I was complaining about not having a wife, the next moment I want to conquer the sea, eat and drink enough, go to bed early, and get enough energy to work tomorrow!"

The fishermen didn't sleep well the night before they went fishing, and before dawn at four o'clock, the two of them came out to sort out their fishing tackle.

Compared with the fishing equipment in Lijiagou, this fishing tackle is quite scary. The fishing rod can withstand 36 pounds or 500 kilograms of pulling force, the huge drum-shaped fishing reel that can brake 80 kilograms of pulling force, [-] meters of NO.[-] nylon line, line The diameter is as thick as one millimeter, and the fishhook is connected to the bottom with a few meters of steel wire leading wire to prevent the line from being bitten off by big fish.

Lewis first passed the leading steel wire through several palm-sized stainless steel fishhooks, then fixed the steel wire with an iron ring, clamped it to death with tool pliers, and said to Li Junge, "Come, I will teach you how to hang bait."

Take the squid out of the refrigerator, and make two small openings at the tail and belly of the squid according to the length of the hook.

Put the tip of the hook through the tail, and then through the opening in the abdomen, and send the whole hook handle into the belly of the squid, then adjust the squid to return to its previous natural state, and then lift the squid up, and you can see the squid and before There is no difference, except that there is an extra steel wire leading wire at the tail, and a shining hook point at the abdomen.

Li Junge smiled and said: "Your skills are good, but this big squid alone is already very valuable in my hometown, at least twenty dollars, and the stewed chicken is delicious."

Lewis said with a smile: "Twenty dollars can buy a lot here. This thing swims backwards in the sea. After we hang it on the fishing line, it simulates its natural posture in the sea, luring big fish to attack. .”

Li Junge picked up the knife on the console: "This job is absolutely fine, leave it to me."

Next, Li Junge made the bait and Lewis hung the line, and soon four poles were set up at the stern of the boat.

Lewis patted the swivel chair on the fishing position: "Go up! If you see any movement on the pole, raise the pole, shake the wheel, and ensure that the fishing line is straight. Most importantly, shout 'Damn Lewis come!' Hahahahaha... "

Li Junge took out a sun hat from Lewis' cabin and put it on, saying, "OK, let's sail!"

The engine was started again, and the Conqueror sailed against the tide of the blue ditch.

There were white waves at the stern of the boat, the four fishing lines were dragged into oblique lines, and the squid bait was released farther and farther. Li Junge estimated that he had placed it 200 meters away, and the vertical distance from the water surface was estimated to be about 50 meters.

Li Junge sat on a hard plastic swivel chair, imagining the scene of four giant squids running backwards at the same speed along the trench to escape arrogantly, and then in the deeper water layer, countless big eyes began to discover them, and then activated, chase.

After a while, a violent tremor came from a pole, and Li Junge jumped up from his chair: "Da Liu! It's time to catch the fish!"

Lewis poked his head out from the bow: "Is your pole or mine?"

Lewis uses his own pole, and the drum is equipped with a motor, which can be connected to the power supply at the stern after the fish is loaded, which can provide auxiliary traction for the fisherman.

The poles given to Li Junge are old-fashioned equipment. The young man sleeps on a cold kang, relying entirely on firepower.Lewis smirked and joked that a man who can draw a bow as big as the wings of the Seraphim does not need a power assist machine.

Li Junge shouted: "Mine!"

Lewis smirked and said, "Then I don't care!" Then he retracted his head and went to control the ship.

No matter what he said, in fact, after adjusting the speed of the boat, Lewis still ran out to put away the remaining poles, and then watched Li Junge wrestling with the big fish leisurely.
