In the early morning, before the sun had even risen, fishing boats sailed into Fisherman's Wharf. At three o'clock in the morning, Yun Fei was woken up by the master of the giant door. The giant door opened and a small but powerful truck carried Yun Fei and Zi Wei to Danshui. After driving for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the Fisherman's Wharf in Danshui.
Standing on the wooden plank road on the river bank, he watched as fishing boats entered the port one after another. The fishing boats whistled as they entered the port. The various ocean-going fishing boats rushed into the fishing port at midnight because there was a price tag meeting in the morning fish market. At this time, buyers from all the major restaurants and snack bars in Taiwan would come here to price their fish and buy high-quality and cheap seafood delicacies.
The giant door led Yun Fei and Zi Wei into the fish market. The crew pushed baskets of fresh fish into the market. There were all kinds of seafood. Yunfei was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. There were many strange and rare seafood in the fish market, and Yunfei felt that it was very novel.
For example, lobsters, abalones, king crabs, mullet roe, and so on.
"The Giant King Crab weighs three kilograms. It's fresh and sweet, and its meat is delicate and tough. It's super large in size and full in meat. It can be said to be the best king crab.”
" The Angel Red Prawn's meat is sweet but not greasy. It's tough and smooth, as if it was fished out of the sea. When the prawn meat enters the mouth, it gives off a unique salty and sweet taste. It makes people reluctant to put down their chopsticks and want to feast on it.”
"The big abalone from Chili is crisp, tender, tough, and strong. After a long time of simmering, not only can the soup be cooked more thoroughly, but it can also bring out a special marine flavor.”
"Freshly caught horseshoe clams are the most popular goods in the eyes of foodies. Hot pot, salt roast, baked, fried, and so on are all super delicious.”
"Asahi Crab's shell is thin and its meat is fresh and sweet. It's the favorite top-notch ingredient of five-star hotels. The crab meat is thick and elastic, and the crab roe is full and sweet. After eating it, the fragrance is unforgettable.”
Walking in the fish market, the giant door introduced all kinds of fishing materials to Yun Fei. Yun Fei looked at so many seafood, and every one of them seemed to be delicious. He couldn't help but drool.
"But we didn't come to Fisherman's Wharf today to see these things. Instead, they came for the so-called "gold of the ocean".”
" Gold from the ocean…?" Yun Fei asked.
The giant door said,"The gold in the ocean refers to the bluefin tuna."”
"Bluefin tuna…?"
"In the fish market, a high-quality bluefin tuna can be priced at millions of dollars.”
Tuna, also known as tuna, was a marine fish of the Scombroid family, belonging to the tunas. Tuna's flesh color was red because its muscles contained a large amount of myobin.
Tuna swam very fast, reaching an instantaneous speed of 160 kilometers per hour, with an average speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour. Most of them were distributed in the Indian Ocean, the central Pacific Ocean, and the central Atlantic Ocean.
There were eight species of tuna. The largest species could be 3.5 meters long and weigh 600 to 700 kilograms. Tuna was a very popular seafood with high economic value. Due to the overfishing of fishermen in various countries, the international community began to regulate the fishing limit of tuna.
Tuna was a kind of healthy food. The Japanese liked to cut tuna into sashimi or make it into Sushi. In Taiwan and Japan, tuna meat was called maguro. In addition, the belly of tuna was called TORO. This part was the fattest part of tuna and could be cut into sashimi for consumption.
Northern bluefin tuna, commonly known as bluefin tuna, accounted for only two percent of all tuna catches. It was the largest of all tuna species and was distributed in the northern hemisphere's warm waters.
In Taiwan, bluefin tuna belly was the best delicacy among sashimi. The back tasted like high-grade beef, the chin was mostly roasted, and the head was used to make soup or steam. The value of bluefin tuna surpassed that of mullet roe.
Bluefin tuna had been caught and eaten in large quantities by Japan, Taiwan, China, and other countries. Their numbers had been greatly reduced and they were on the verge of extinction. It was very likely that they would go extinct in the next few decades.
An ocean-going ship specialized in hunting tuna slowly entered the port. The purchasing stations of various gourmet restaurants led the way and waited by the port. The ship entered the port, and the crew dragged several bluefin tuna into the fish market.
The purchasing staff asked the crew one after another,"How's the harvest of the bluefin tuna this time?”
"We caught five bluefin tuna this time.”
The crew lined up the five bluefin tuna in a row. The bluefin tuna was shiny and black, looking juicy and delicious. Each bluefin tuna weighed hundreds of kilograms. The buyers were all watching. They had to pick the fattest bluefin tuna to go back. A piece of top-grade bluefin tuna sashimi could be sold for at least a few hundred dollars.
All the buyers stared at the five bluefin tuna with their eyes wide open. Which one was the best bluefin tuna?
" Yunfei," the giant door said to Yunfei," now the real training begins. Use your sense of touch to feel which bluefin tuna is the best and sweetest?"”
"Use my sense of touch to feel the taste of the bluefin tuna…?”
Yun Fei approached the five bluefin tuna and touched their bodies with his hands. He closed his eyes and listened carefully to the delicious call of the bluefin tuna…
