Four and a half months of the East China Sea fishing ban finally came to an end, Xiangshan, Zhejiang feverishly opened the fishing, but also opened the prelude to the fall tour. Nowadays, the mode of tourism is getting richer and richer, more and more ways to play, for the friends who come to Xiangshan Tourism in addition to see the beautiful island scenery, taste delicious seafood dinner, but also on the boat to experience a fishermen's life, feel the joy of seafood harvest. I have been in Shipu many times to participate in boat fishing, due to the kind of unknown harvest of the expectations, so that I am quite fond of this experience program, but also very much sought after by the majority of netizens. This time the sea again gave me a big surprise, a net actually caught up a wild yellowtail, which can really hit the jackpot.

In September 2021, I was photographed in Xiangshan County, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province.

In the past few years, with the rapid development of tourism in Xiangshan, the marine tourism industry has been quite perfect and mature, trawling, chartering fishing and other modes by the majority of tourists like. We chose Xiangshan Xieshun Tourism Company for this trawling tour, and the boarding place is located at the Fisherman's Wharf in Shipu Fishing Harbor.

There are two kinds of trawler boats in Shipu, standard and luxury boats, and the price of chartering is 4,000 yuan and 4,800 yuan respectively, and there are discounts for non-weekend prices. So the luxury boat we chartered (the kind in the photo) cost just over 3300, up to 20 people, the overall price felt okay.

We booked the 8am boat and the whole trip took about two and a half to three hours. In fact, when we boarded the boat, we found that the boat is bigger than we thought, with two floors, both upper and lower, both available for tourists to ride, fully equipped facilities and equipment, and a kitchen, but also on the boat will be caught on the shore of the seafood directly cooking, only to add another 1,000 yuan to the cost.

After the launch, our boat quickly sailed to the depths of the sea, Shipu Harbor offshore sea water is yellow, the boat drove out for a period of time, the sea water also turned blue, which is the color of the sea water that we aspire to. We all took out our cell phones and cameras to take pictures, but some of our friends suffered from mild seasickness, which is normal.

Our captain, with his many years of experience in marine operations, was concentrating on finding fish targets. But for us amateurs, it was just a vast ocean, nothing but sea.

The whole boat's overall shape is that of a cruise ship, but there is a trawler installed at the stern in order to catch fish. The boat sailed for some time and then suddenly stopped and started ringing a bell. The boatmen then threw the trawl into the sea, locked the tow rope, the boat began to increase the horsepower, trawling officially began. To catch more seafood in this vast ocean, it all depends on the experience of the captain.

The boat dragged in the sea for nearly an hour or so stopped, the bell rang again. The boatmen changed into their overalls and pulled the trawl up little by little, and this was the most exciting moment, as everyone watched the net from the stern of the boat. I didn't expect to see the net pulled up, but I was a little disappointed to see a crab cage and a large iron bucket occupying the entire net, with a few fish and shrimp scattered throughout the rest.

The seafood in the trawl was poured out and spread out on the deck of the boat, basically to the skin shrimp, small crabs, small fish, and occasionally found one or two slightly larger pike crabs, but love to take pictures of the girls are still quite excited to pick up the crab is a series of posing for pictures.

Just when we thought that this net would be useless today, the boatman turned out a golden yellow fish from the seafood pile, which is the most precious yellowtail in the East China Sea, and the size is not small. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes. Due to overfishing in the last century, wild yellowtail has been rarely caught, and the entire yearly production of Xiangshan is quite limited, so its price has skyrocketed.

Seeing this fish like gold bars, the first time out of the sea girls more excited, not only scrambling to take a picture, but also concerned about a problem, this fish in the end is worth how much money? According to the boatman, now Xiangshan wild yellowtail dock purchase price of about 2,000 yuan a catty, this fish is almost a catty and a half or so, the price of 3,000 yuan. Of course, if sold to direct customers prices will be better, up to about 4000 a catty, I do not know whether it is true?

Since we didn't book on-board meals on this charter, we were able to pack all the seafood we caught. There are foam boxes and ice provided on the boat, and the boatmen will help us pack it up, but of course you still need to pay 20 yuan a piece. This net we harvested 8 boxes of seafood in one ****. We didn't expect to catch a wild yellowtail, but we were so happy that we couldn't express our joy. But then there is a question, what to do with this fish? Whether we cook it together and eat it, or sell it for money, please see the follow-up article of the cold remnants of a leaf.
