MTL - The Fish I Catch Can Be Upgraded-Chapter 51 Pine Bream Stove

  Chapter 51 Pine sea bream side stove

  The whole body of this sea bream is as if it has been smeared with oil. The whole body is pitch black, and the length is about 70 centimeters.

  The body length of sea bream is not as slender as that of sea bass, so this sea bream feels very large, like a small door panel.

"It's a big iron fish, but unfortunately the price of this fish is not very high." Zhao Jun was surprised and regretful when he saw the fish, "The price of this iron fish is only fifteen yuan a catty. Not much more expensive."

  There are actually many fishes called "Da Tie Po", but those that look like sea bream generally refer to pine sea bream.

  Chu Mingcheng didn't care at all whether the pine bream was expensive or not. He reached out and knocked the scales of the fish more interestedly, and finally made a "ba ba ba" sound, and he knew that the fish scales were very hard.

   "It's interesting, I haven't eaten this fish yet, Brother Zhao Jun, let's eat this fish tonight!"

  Zhao Jun was stunned: "This fish weighs at least twelve or three catties. Even if your friend comes, you won't be able to eat it, right?"

  A sea bass of the same length is estimated to weigh only seven or eight catties, but it is not surprising that the pine bream is like a door panel, and the back of the fish is wide and thick. It is four or five catties heavier than a sea bass.

   "If there is enough food, we don't have to bother at night, so we can cook the side stove. It's best to eat enough, add some fans if you don't have enough."

  Before, Chu Mingcheng wanted to cook seafood porridge for dinner, but he changed his mind immediately after catching this pine bream.

  Pine bream is cheap, but the meat is actually delicious, and this is a live fish that has not been frozen and refrigerated, so the taste must be fresher and sweeter.

  Zhao Jun had no objection when he saw that he insisted. After all, he was the one who caught the fish, so he could deal with it as he wanted.

  With Chu Mingcheng's hands-on teaching, after Zhao Jun understood sticklebacks, he hardly got off the hook.

   And with a reminder, he also started to catch big fish in the middle layer.

  From 2:00 in the afternoon to 5:30 in the evening, he caught a total of five sea bass, the small one was about one and a half catties, and the big one was four catties.

  I also caught three black breams, all weighing two catties.

   Shi Jiugong is the one with the most fish. You can find this fish anywhere, but it’s a pity that most of them are only in twos or threes, and the price is the same as that of sea bass.

  Even so, Zhao Jun is already very satisfied with the harvest of about seven or eight hundred fish in more than three hours.

   But now this is extra income, and he can continue fishing at night, plus the boat fee, he may not have this amount in a day of fishing.

  Chu Mingcheng naturally caught more than him. Except for the first small one of the eleven sea bass, the rest were all over three catties, and the big one weighed seven catties.

  In addition to other fish species, besides the black bream and Shi Jiugong, he also caught two relatively rare stone breams, both of which weighed three catties.

   This fish can be sold for more than 150 pounds per catty. It is really lucky to catch it on Yanmen Island. As expected, the bridge piers are all treasure fishing spots.

  After fishing all afternoon, Chu Mingcheng's wrist was also a little sore.

  Checking the time, it is estimated that Zhang Wei and Chen Yang will arrive in another 20 to 30 minutes, so he put away the fishing rod and prepared to kill fish for dinner.

  He first called Zhang Wei to ask when he would arrive, and when he learned that they were on the way, he ordered them to buy some spicy millet and other ingredients. They must have dipping sauces for the side stove at night.

   After making the phone call, he said to Zhao Jun: "Brother Zhao Jun, please put the boat on the pier! My friend is coming soon, I will kill the fish first, and we will continue after dinner and rest at night."

   "Okay." Zhao Jun nodded and put away the fishing rod, and then untied the rope tied to the pier.

  Of course, the pier they are on now is not the original one.

  In the afternoon they changed three places in total, basically waiting for the water to stop moving. At night they planned to go fishing on the pier under the bridge.

  The bridge is so long, and there are many piers underneath, there must be no shortage of fish.

  Chu Mingcheng took the pine bream out of the fishing box. He put a lot of ice cubes in the fishing box, and he planned to use it for some unsustainable fish.

   As a result, all the fish caught can be temporarily raised in the fish cabin of the fishing boat. His tails are tied with green nylon ropes, and Zhao Jun's are tied with red nylon ropes, so that there will be no confusion.

  The pine bream to be eaten at night was put in the fishing box by Chu Mingcheng on ice, and let it fall asleep, so as not to be difficult to catch when it was to be eaten at night.

   Tapped the pine bream with his finger again, he thought for a while and picked up the manual scaler, as the electric one probably wouldn't be able to scale the fish.

   Sure enough, as soon as I started, the hard fish scales not only bounced everywhere, but also scraped off.

  Chu Mingcheng's arms were sore after one fish was caught, it was more laborious than catching a fifty-jin sea fish.

   Fortunately, after the fish scales are knocked off, the rest is convenient. Use scissors to cut open the belly.

  You can see a lot of white fat in the internal organs of the fish, which means that the fish is very fat. Secondly, its stomach pouch is bulging and has a foul smell.

  Chu Mingcheng held his breath in disgust, cleaned out the internal organs of the pine bream and put them aside, and threw them down when fishing at night to attract some fish.

  Rinse the blood of the fish with the purified water that comes with it, then pick up the knife brought by Zhao Jun and cut off the head of the fish.

  The reason why his family often kills fish may be that the knife they bring is very sharp. Chu Mingcheng cut off the head of the fish easily, and the bones of the fish can be chopped apart with a little force.

  This knife is easy to use. It doesn’t look like a kitchen knife, but looks like a dagger specially designed for fish sashimi.

  Chu Mingcheng fell in love with it immediately.

   "Brother Zhao Jun, where did you buy this knife, and how much is it, I will buy one too."

   "I bought this knife from my friend. It's quite expensive. It costs six hundred."

   "Brother Zhao Jun, buy one for me, and I'll give you the money."

   "Okay, I'll ask my friend to grind it for you by the way, mine was sharpened by him, and it's still so easy to use after a year of use."

   After talking about the fish knife, Chu Mingcheng continued to cut off the fish on both sides.

  The fish meat is cut very evenly, without any flakes of meat.

  If it was his own knife at home, it would be full of minced meat, which made him like this knife more and more.

  Chop the fish bones into small pieces, cut off the fish belly, and throw it into the pot together with the fish head.

  Put some green onions and ginger, and start to cook the soup.

  The soup base of Dabianlu is usually chicken soup, but now there is no such condition. It is the same with fish head and fish bones, and it is more original.

  The rest of the fish was cut into slices and placed on the plate. When Zhang Wei and the others arrived at the pier, he had just finished cutting.

  Carrying a big bag of things, Zhang Wei boarded the boat with Chen Yang and saw the fish on the plate, raised his brows: "Hey, what kind of fish is this, I didn't even see you and you took care of it?"

"A ten-pound pine bream is the biggest fish I caught this afternoon, and it's cheap for you." Yu Chu Mingcheng recorded all of them, and even took photos. When he saw the two coming over, he immediately dug out the photos one time.

  Zhang Wei looked at the photo and was a little surprised: "Hey, we still have such a big fish here?"

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "There must be. Didn't you encounter rice-level cod before you chartered a boat? The last time a school of mackerel came to the pier, Acheng also caught a 13-jin green spot, and there were many on the shore. It’s not surprising that people catch big fish.”

  Occasionally he catches big fish when he casts the net, but it is not as intuitive as fishing. The seafood he catches is mainly pomfret, swimming crab and small yellow croaker.
