My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 283 Albatross

The whole killer crab was tightly tied up by Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng.

Only then did Xia Pengjie dare to come closer to have a look, he clicked his tongue and said in amazement: "The legs of this killer crab are too long, aren't they?"

Indeed, compared with its shell, the legs of killer crabs are really thin and long, which looks very uncoordinated. Generally, fishermen grab their legs when catching killer crabs, even though they are very ferocious, But as long as any leg is caught by fishermen, the killer crab loses the ability to kill.

Xiang Yang licked his lips, "The legs of this killer crab are not only long, but also delicious, even better than lobsters."

The crab shell of the killer crab is thin, and the meat is very plump. About ten catties of crab meat can be extracted from the body of a killer crab, especially the meat in its crab legs. The meat is very tender and tastes very fresh. The fishy smell of the sea is simply a holy product in the eyes of foodies.

Everyone looked at the killer crab in amazement.

When Xiang Yang saw it, he smiled and said, "Why don't we cast a net here again, if we can catch a few more killer crabs, then they will be enough for all of us to eat."

The expressions on the faces of the crew members immediately changed, and even Fang Youqun, who is usually the most gluttonous, quickly waved his hands and said, "Captain, forget it, we dare not eat this stuff."

Seeing this, Xiang Yang smiled and stopped insisting. In fact, killer crabs mainly live in the deep sea. They rarely swim to the surface. If you can catch one, you are considered very lucky. Even if Xiang Yang Even if you cast a net along the original waterway, it will be difficult to catch a second killer crab.

"In this case, I can sell this killer crab immediately after I pull it back." Xiang Yang said casually.

"Let's sell it." Chen Qingsheng said: "Let's not talk about the taste of this killer crab. Just hearing the name, we feel that we should be shocked. Even if we catch a few more, we can still sell them for money."

"And this killer crab is very expensive, how can we be willing to eat this."

Xiang Yang nodded. It is true that the main production area of ​​killer crabs is in Japan, but the killer crabs in their country can't even supply enough for their own country, and they basically don't export them to the outside world.

In China, the price of killer crabs has been fired up to nearly 2,000 yuan per catty, which is equivalent to at least 20,000 yuan for a killer crab, which is much more expensive than ordinary lobsters. This price is indeed not what the crew is willing to eat , even if it is Xiang Yang's treat, they will feel distressed.

"Continue to clean up the catch." Xiang Yang used a harpoon to scrape away the pile of catches, roughly confirming that there would be no more dangerous marine life like killer crabs in the catch, and ordered.

The crew jumped into action immediately.

After the sunfish and killer crabs made such a fuss, most of the catches in this pile are dead, even if they are still alive, they are still spitting white foam. They have been out of the water for too long, even if they are put in the live water tank, they may not be sure. Can feed again.

Xiang Yang was a little distressed, there were a few groupers caught in this net, and now they can only be frozen.

Fortunately, a sunfish and a killer crab were caught, which could make up for Xiang Yang's loss in this regard.

At this time, the smell of fish on the deck might have wafted out, and two big birds flew over from a distance, hovering above the fishing boat.

"Chirp!"

The tiger-headed sea eagle uttered a cry immediately, and rushed out like a sharp sword.

"Uh." Xia Pengjie also saw the big bird, and he uttered, "Is that an albatross? Or two, Captain, your sea eagle is really brave."

Xiang Yang's eyelids twitched. Albatrosses are the largest of all birds. They are even bigger than Steller's sea eagles. Their wings can spread up to 3.7 meters. They not only have slender wings, but also very sharp wings. The tiger-headed sea eagle dared to take the initiative to attack in the face of such two behemoths. It was indeed a tiger.

"Although the tiger-headed sea eagle is not as big as the albatross, in terms of fighting power, the tiger-headed sea eagle is still stronger than the albatross." Xiang Yang looked up at the sky, "Although the albatross' mouth is sharp, its mouth is curved. This kind of mouth is very suitable for fishing, but not very suitable for fighting. The mouth of the tiger head sea eagle is different. If you aim at the head of an albatross, you can definitely peck a hole in the head of the albatross. "

"Not only that." Xu Fang said with a smile: "The claws of the albatross are small and exquisite, a bit like a duck. They can move and swim in the water, but they don't have any attack power. And look at the claws of the tiger-headed sea eagle."

When everyone saw it, they immediately found that the tiger's head sea eagle's claws were not only thick and powerful, but also very sharp.

"If these two albatrosses don't run away, they will probably stay here." Chen Qingsheng frowned, and said to himself: "Did I not read the almanac this time when I went to sea, why did I see all these weird things?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yang also raised his eyebrows.

Let’s not talk about the sunfish that went first.

Spiderman is also known as the killer crab.

Now I saw the albatross again, and the tiger-headed sea eagle culled it immediately.

Albatrosses, like sunfish, are taboo to many sailors.

Many superstitious sailors regard the albatross as the reappearance of the dead companions who unfortunately died in the sea, so they believe that killing an albatross will inevitably bring misfortune.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous poem "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner" is the story of how disaster befell a ship after an albatross was shot by a sailor.

Of course, this kind of thing has always been a matter of belief or not.

In the 19th century, many sailors were keen to prey on albatrosses to enrich the monotonous life during the long journey, and also improve their food by the way.

"Give me a squid, and I'll see if I can call back the tiger-headed sea eagle." Xiang Yang shouted.

"Call it back? Why do you want to call it back?" Fang Youqun asked suspiciously, "Brother Yang, don't you believe that it is the reappearance of the dead sailor?"

"I don't believe this, but the albatross is a very cherished protected animal. If one dies, there will be one less. Moreover, their reproductive ability is very low. Albatrosses need to be ten years old to have the ability to reproduce, and they can only lay one egg at a time. .” Xiang Yang said.

Xiang Yang wanted to call the Tiger-headed Sea Eagle back mainly because he felt that it would be a pity if the two albatrosses died, not because of taboo.

As for the so-called protection of animals, it is even more nonsense.

Don't say that the tiger-headed sea eagle just killed an albatross. If it is capable, no one can do anything to it if it kills a panda.

Soon, Fang Youqun brought Xiang Yang a live squid from the cabin, and Xiang Yang grabbed the squid and quickly ran towards the top of the fishing boat cabin.
