Li Xuan nodded. It was indeed true that the snake's tail was poisonous.

Like starfish, snake tails, which are both echinoderms and have five tentacles, can also secrete a toxin.

And this toxin is very concentrated, especially if it is mixed with some seafood such as shrimps and tigers. If these seafood are stained with venom, they will all die in a short time.

As far as Li Xuan knows, there are very few seafood stalls selling snake tails on the market, and the locals in Yulong Bay do not have the habit of eating snake tails.

When Li Xuan was a child, he was catching fish at the beach and occasionally picked up a live snake tail. Because he was attracted by the beautiful shell of the snake tail, he took it home and raised it to watch. His father and mother would immediately scold him, and then take out the snake tail and throw it away.

.

Obviously, many fishermen in Yulong Bay are subconsciously afraid of snake tails.

Otherwise, there would not have been the situation when Li Xuan was in junior high school, when someone proposed to use a net to clean up all the snake tails in the nearby waters. There were so many fishing villages around, but not a single village objected.

You know, fishermen all cherish the sea, especially the one-third acre of sea area in their own village.

If we didn't really think that snake tails were a harmful substance to the ocean, how could we allow those mariculture bosses to send ships and use nets to fish for snake tails everywhere?

Of course, now almost all fishermen in Yulong Bay know that snake tails are treasures.

Of course, it is a treasure for fish to eat, not for people to eat.

Li Xuan knew, however, that people can indeed eat snake tails.

When Li Xuan was studying, the school once prevented them from going to sea. At that time, Li Xuan was on a large ocean-going fishing boat.

On that ship, Li Xuan ate snake tails, starfish and other echinoderms more than once.

At that time, sailors ate snaketails and other starfish, usually steamed.

Just wash the starfish and snake tail with clean water, then put them on a plate and steam them in a pot over water.

After boiling the pot, steam for 15 minutes. When the snake tail is completely steamed, take it out and break it open. Take out the meat from the hard shell of the echinoderm and mix it with some ginger and mince some garlic. You can eat it directly.

Li Xuan feels that the taste of snake tail is relatively good among all kinds of seafood, but it tastes slightly bitter and slightly fishy. If you don't taste it carefully, it tastes very similar to crab roe.

Li Xuan remembered that when he ate snake tails for the first time, the chief mate of the ocean-going fishing boat told these students that snake tails and starfish can be eaten, but they must be eaten while they are hot. Once they are cold, they seem to be poisonous.

In addition, Li Xuan also knew that some food stalls or farm banquets outside also have some "special dishes" related to snake tail, such as snake tail scrambled eggs, grilled starfish, snake tail noodles, etc.

"It's definitely edible. I've eaten this stuff before, but I don't know exactly how to cook it and whether it requires special treatment. Forget it, it's better not to take risks. We won't eat this stuff anymore, Dad.

You are familiar with those who engage in aquaculture. When the time comes, go and inquire for me to see who has a higher price for harvesting these snake tails. Next time we go to sea, I will bring a ground net out and try to catch a few.

Net this snake's tail." Li Xuan said.

Father Li nodded cautiously.

In the past few years, various farms have been looking for snake tails everywhere, but since someone used a Juehu net to clean up snake tails on a large scale ten years ago, very few people have seen snake tails in the entire Yulong Bay.

To be honest, fishermen like this kind of seafood the most, with a large quantity base and no worries about marketability.

When Father Li saw these snake tails, he was even happier than seeing a large yellow croaker, because this is a fishery resource that can be harvested stably and sustainably.

Seafood such as cuttlefish and squid are also available in large quantities, but they cannot be sold at a high price.

For example, gala can be sold at a price of seven yuan per catty, and scallops can be sold for fifteen yuan per catty, but the price is useless. No one can buy it stably in the long term.

Snake tails are different. This is an important resource that all major farms compete for. Although the unit price per kilogram is not high, if you drag it back, someone will come and take it away immediately.

"Then shall we return directly now?" Father Li asked.

Li Xuan pondered for a moment. He didn't have a bottom fishing net on his boat, and it was useless to bring it in this sea area, so he nodded directly and said: "Okay, I will ask Qin Bin to remember this sea area, and then return directly."

Over there, the crew members watched Li Xuan coming up and chatted with Li's father. They all craned their necks to look, guessing whether Li Xuan had caught some treasure.

But on board.

Chen Bin, Yang Hua and others were collecting mullet roe and didn't pay attention at all.

The other veteran crew members also have their own affairs to be busy with.

Qin Bin, on the other hand, is relatively introverted and doesn't like to join in the fun. He stays in the cab even when the ship is not sailing. The new crew members don't know the rules on the ship. When they saw Li Xuan and his son chatting, they didn't dare to come close.

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the crew members.

Seeing a kind of sailor who had stretched his neck to look this way before, and seeing him looking over, he immediately turned his head or lowered his head. At first, he was puzzled.

But soon, Li Xuan figured out why.

Immediately, Li Xuan smiled and shouted over there: "Brother Xiaofeng, help me call Qin Bin over."

Liu Xiaofeng quickly agreed: "Okay, Captain."

Soon, Qin Bin walked out of the cabin. He saw the snake tails on the deck at a glance, and was immediately shocked, "They are actually crispy starfish. Brother Xuan, your luck is too bad."

"

After ten years ago, several seafood farming owners near Yulong Bay joined forces and spent huge manpower and material resources to eliminate the overflowing snaketails, starfish and other echinoderms in Yulong Bay. Almost everyone in the entire Yulong Bay did not know about snaketails.

It is a marine creature with extremely terrifying fecundity.

Qin Bin obviously knew that finding a few snake tail creatures meant that a large group must have been discovered.

Similarly, Qin Bin obviously also knows that snake tail is a fishery resource with very high market demand.

Li Xuan smiled and nodded, not hiding anything from Qin Bin, "Yes, there are a large number of snake tails under this sea area. The number is so large that I can't believe it myself. Please record this sea area. It is close to Yulong Bay.

The dock is not far away. Next time we go out to sea and return, we can drag the tail of a boat back."

Qin Bin nodded repeatedly. To be honest, he was actually pessimistic about whether Li Xuan could afford such a big ship.

After all, there are so many fishermen who engage in deep-sea fishing and have begun to change careers.

It’s not that offshore fishing is unprofitable, but the cost of offshore fishing is really very high, and ordinary people simply can’t afford such a large boat.
