MTL - A Day In a Japanese Fishing Village-Chapter 39 Discover Peony Shrimp

  After three days of rest, Minano Shuichi plans to go out to sea again. This time, the goal is to go fishing in the island country sea.

   On this day, the sky was light, more than 20 sailors and old man Kimura and others came to the pier of Nemuro Fishing Port and waited for the arrival of Minami Shuuichi. This time, the old man Kimura also brought his eldest son, Xiao Kimura. There are two fishing boats to be driven and of course one more driver. It just so happened that Kimura's son, Kimura, would also drive a fishing boat, so Minano Shuichi hired him to work for him.

"Ishida Yu, Noguchi Minami, Kokimura, the three of you lead ten sailors in charge of the 300-ton fishing boat. Sakai Yukina and Takeno Miko are in charge of their cooking and cleaning. The rest are all Work with me on the fishing boat Junxi." Minano Shuichi looked at the people in front of him with the distribution of manpower.

   "Yes!" the crowd answered loudly.

   "Get on the ship and leave the port!" With a big wave of his hand, Nanye Xiu took the lead on board the Junxi. The others followed suit. At present, most fishing teams are fishing around the waters near Hokkaido. Therefore, many people do not go to sea for a long time, basically a few weeks. But this also has an advantage, that is, it does not take long to repair and can go to sea again.

   The biggest reason is that there are really many fish in the waters near Hokkaido in this era! Schools of fish have not been fished as heavily as they have been in the next decade or so. Fishing boats of hundreds of tons are not affordable for every fisherman.

  The morning sea breeze in July is not very hot, but rather cool. This is Minano Shuichi's third trip to the sea. Speaking of which, he has been here for more than a month.

   "Let's set sail!" Minano Shuichi shouted, letting old Kimura set sail.

The whistle sounded, and the two fishing boats drove out of the fishing port and headed towards the Zongya Strait. Minami Shuuichi planned to pass through the Zongya Strait, and then arrived at the island country HN Ye-kun. Do you think we will encounter that again this time north? Matsumoto United Fishing Team? They don't seem to have returned to the fishing port, and they don't know how many schools of fish they have caught. "The old man Kimura was holding a cigarette, and while driving the boat, he said to Minami Hideyoshi.

"Ghosts know them, but I love meeting them again. If they haven't come back, I think they are either fishing in the waters in front of the Shiretoko Peninsula or fishing in the seas of the island country. They will definitely not fill up their warehouses so quickly with their twenty fishing boats. Yes." Nanye Xiu said. Wouldn't it make them faint if they fished under their noses together again?

   "That's right." The old man Kimura nodded.

   It was relatively calm when I went out to sea, and I didn’t encounter any fish worthy of shooting, so I spent two days in comfort.

   On the third day, Minano Shuichi found a seafood that made him greedy!

   "Ding dong... Northwest, three nautical miles away from the host, peony shrimp were found. The coordinate position is 155.2 longitude, 44.5 dimension, and the number is 1054."

   "It's actually the best shrimp - Peony Shrimp!" Minami couldn't help swallowing when he heard the name suggested by the system. I ate peony shrimp once in my previous life, Minami Shuichi. The shrimp meat is plump, elastic, fresh, sweet and rich, with a long aftertaste. So far, he has been obsessed with the delicious taste, enough to see how delicious the peony shrimp is.

"Last time I ate peony shrimp from the western waters of Canada. I didn't expect that this time I encountered peony shrimp from Hokkaido. I was so lucky." Minami Shuuichi wanted to shout three times, I want to speak for foodies !

  The best sea shrimp in the world, it is known as "Peony Shrimp" because of its bright red color.

  The body of the shrimp is reddish-brown, with white stripes on both sides of the shrimp head, and white spots on the shrimp body. Shrimp can grow up to 20 or more. This shrimp is abundant in the deep waters of British Columbia, Western Canada. There are also a small amount of local production in Hokkaido, because it grows in the deep sea area, it is more difficult to catch.

   Looking at the information recorded in the system, Minami Shuichi murmured: "Although this kind of shrimp is abundant in Canada, when it comes to the taste, the peony shrimp from Hokkaido is the best!"

   This has been verified by countless foodies in later generations. However, most people in later generations eat food from Canada. Because the production of peony shrimp in Hokkaido is too small, they are all consumed locally and there is no possibility of export. So if you want to eat the most delicious peony shrimp, you have to come to Hokkaido in person.

   "Let's take a look first." Nanye Xiu cut his own vision to the place where the peony shrimp was three sea miles away.

   Soon, Minano Shuichi saw a slightly deeper deep-sea area three nautical miles away, and on the bottom of the sea, he really saw those red peony shrimps.

   "It's a bit difficult to fish!" When Minami saw that, the depth of this sea area reached a depth of three or four hundred meters, and the other one was that there were many coral seas, reefs, and some seaweeds on the bottom of the sea. It is almost difficult to fish with a net. It takes more time to catch them with a lobster pot.

  These prawns are not in the shallows, so it is a bit of a headache to catch them.

   "I really want to eat, but I don't want to waste time here. It's really impossible to have both." Minano Shuichi said regretfully. His main task is to fish first. If it was easy to catch this peony shrimp, he would be willing to catch some to try it out. But now the problem is that these peony shrimp are a bit difficult to catch.

   "Forget it, give it up first, and talk about it later. I'm in Hokkaido anyway, and I can fish whenever I want to eat." Minami Shuichi comforted himself.

   Actually, he really wanted to eat. As a foodie, how could he not be greedy when he saw something delicious?

   "When the time comes to return, you can fish it up."

   In the end, Minano Shuichi reluctantly gave up and continued to go north.

   Gradually, it got closer and closer to the Soya Strait. However, Hideyoshi Minano did not encounter the Matsumoto United Fishing Team. I don't know if they are still fishing for salmon in this area.

   "Boss, we have one more day's schedule to reach the Soya Strait." Kimura said to Minami Hideyoshi.

"I see."

   "Should we look for fish in the sea area in front of the Shiretoko Peninsula?" asked the old man Kimura. He caught a lot of salmon here last time, so he thinks there should be a lot of fish here.

   "Okay, stay here for a day or two and then go to the island and the sea." Nanye Xiu said. He felt that there should still be salmon schools in this area. If the fishing boat hadn't been full last time, he would have continued to fish.

  Actually, Minamino Shuichi guessed right. Salmon migrate for several months in a row, and there are always schools of fish that arrive one after another. It is impossible for all of them to arrive here in a short period of time.

   You might even encounter schools of salmon! Maybe even meet the Matsumoto fishing team!
