This fish has a dark blue back, a silvery gray belly and sides, and fine scales. The adult Spanish mackerel is about 1 m long, with sharp teeth and fierce swallowing. Like to cluster, live in the middle and upper ocean, and mainly prey on small fish and shrimp.
Shandong is called Spanish mackerel, and Hainan and Zhanjiang are called mackerel. It's a kind of fish. The big difference in price is a matter of quality and quantity. For example, mackerel produced in Hainan is delicious in the north of Wanning Port, so it is the most expensive (twice the price of Sanya). The fish here is the peak season and the most expensive because it is delicious in the New Year. And at the end of each year, it is a more expensive annual gift in Hainan to give the horse mackerel.
During this period, the price of mackerel will also rise from 34 yuan on weekdays to nearly 100 yuan. In recent years, e-commerce companies that make mackerel brands have also grown rapidly with the development of new retail, and the demand for mackerel has increased year by year.
Followed by a gradual decrease in the number, 20 1 1 year mackerel can still rank in the top ten in Hainan's total catch, and then it has already fallen out of the list. With the decline of the population and the explosion of the market demand, more than 80% of the blue-spotted mackerel that has been fished are young fish, and IUCN has also upgraded the rating of mackerel to near-danger. In order to have mackerel on the dining table every year, the country has also formulated the minimum catchable size of mackerel with blue spots of 380 mm.
I remember in the early years, every year from mid-May to mid-June in the Airplane Bay, at this time, you can see many people pulling fish on the shore for recreation. The so-called "fishing", the fishing line is tied with four or five big hooks, but there is no bait. I saw them spread their legs and hold a sea pole in both hands, sweeping back 30 degrees in the direction of the head, and throwing them forward hard.
The lead pendant draws a beautiful arc in the air with the fishing line. With the sound of "yeah", the lead pendant falls 30-40 meters away from the coast and enters the water. Before the lead pendant sinks to the bottom, the fisherman shakes the reel to take up the line. When the hook is pulled back to avoid it in time, it will pierce their bodies and be dragged to the shore. Some of them have their heads scratched and some have their stomachs scratched. Because the fish was too small, it was abandoned on the ground and dried into dried fish, and its stomach was pierced.
The fish caught is mackerel, which does not weigh about 1.5-2 kg. The fish is spindle-shaped, with dark gray patterns and scales, and sharp teeth in its mouth. In addition to this method of empty hook fishing, you can also fish with bait.
