Toad crab is a specialty crab in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The output is relatively low, so it has not been sold. It is not well-known, except that few locals know this kind of crab, let alone eat it.

Qin Shiou had heard of this kind of crab. He heard people talk in a bar when he came to St. Lawrence Bay to catch lobsters last time. Junk.

  Now I heard that there are such crabs in the ocean in front of the small fishing village. Qin Shiou is very happy. This is really a surprise.

  Toad crab is Qin Shiou's translation. This crab has no specific name. Similar situations in the ocean have become more common. Many small and worthless creatures are alive in silence.

  But is there a name and why is it necessary? For marine creatures, it seems that the less attracting human attention, the better they can live.

  The locals call this type of crab ‘Toad-Crab’, literally translated as toad crab. They are small among sea crabs, with slender legs, a bit like mini king crabs. There are many natural enemies, and the number has never risen.

  Toad crabs are salvaged by throwing nets. The bald boss sailed out to sea. He looked at the sea carefully with his eyes and muttered words in his mouth. Qin Shiou was very puzzled. Does this old gentleman also have the heart of the sea god?

  The consciousness of the sea **** is on the bottom of the sea. Qin Shiou quickly saw some fist-sized crabs moving on the bottom of the sea. The surrounding waters were not very angry. The number of cod was indeed very small, and the herring and mackerel were very few fishes that can be seen everywhere in other waters.

  But this may be the reason for the survival of toad crabs. The status of crabs in the marine food chain is relatively low. Like sailfish, tuna and even sea bass, they feed on them. So. Most sea crabs will grow relatively large, so the small toad crabs naturally struggle to survive.

  There are not many fish in the waters around the Queen’s Fishing Village. Naturally, the biological chain cannot be connected, so the toads and crabs have room for survival. If they were put on the Daqin fishing grounds, they would be extinct within a few days.

  The Seagod Consciousness found a group of toads and crabs. At this time, the bald boss also stopped the boat and said with a smile: "There are toads and crabs here. Let's get off the net so that lunch is enough."

  Qin Shiou looked at the bald boss in surprise. He was really convinced now. Only by relying on the consciousness of the sea **** can he discover these toad crabs, but the boss definitely does not have this ability, so how did he discover this crab group?

  The bald boss threw the fishing net down, and then sat on the bow of the boat and started smoking.

  Qin Shiou asked the doubt. The bald boss smiled triumphantly: "This is experience, young man, this is the experience of the old fisherman! I can tell you, but it's useless, because it depends on feeling and observation. Just knowing what's going on is not very useful."

  Qin Shiou put his posture very low, he is nothing remarkable. The catch is only obtained by the Seagod’s Heart, and the bald boss is truly amazing!

  The fishermen and sailors who seek life at sea are most admired by those with real abilities, so Qin Shiou’s age and qualifications are not good, but he can suppress the rough men in the fishery. Why? Because he can catch the most fish and shrimp and the largest fish.

  The bald boss smoking a cigarette to explain to him the tricks of finding toad crabs. Generally, these crabs stay in shallow water and have special habitats. They like to eat a kind of seaweed, so pay attention to whether there are seaweed fragments on the surface. The more fragments, the more crabs below.

  This is the most intuitive place to judge. The rest has to be done in terms of sea water, light, wave undulations, and even the sixth sense, which is more difficult. Anyway, after Qin Shiou listened carefully, he felt that they were not.

  After talking for more than twenty minutes, the bald boss and Qin Shiou worked together to pull the fishing net up. There are pale orange crabs in the turquoise fishing net.

  Qin Shiou took one and looked at it. No wonder this crab is called a toad crab. Short and squat, there are many raised and recessed areas on the carapace, similar to the skin of a toad, and the size is similar to that of a toad. The name is really appropriate.

  The bald boss picked off the crabs one by one, and he threw them back into the water when he was smaller than the fist of the young man. Only the big ones were left. In this way, a lot of nets were caught, about forty in total.

  Take these crab-headed bald bosses and set off on the boat. When they were on the shore, they ran into two teenage children, carrying a net bag in their hands, and inside were the whelks they had touched.

Qin Shiou asked them if they could sell them. The two children nodded happily. He took out two hundred yuan and handed them to the two children. It was not that he had pity for the two children. In fact, the whelks in this net bag were worth ten catties. The catty is more than ten yuan, which is almost two hundred yuan.

  The fishery department prepared lunch, which was made by the wife of the bald boss. A group of fishermen were divided into four tables, almost a table of ten people. The dishes served were mainly green vegetables and common sea snails.

There were toad crabs and whelks on the table on Qin Shiou's side. Buck and the others asked dissatisfiedly why they did not have them. The bald boss gave him a squint and said that this was something he had eaten with a pleasing child, and he had an egg with you. Relationship.

Hubble, Andrew and others at the table with Qin Shiou all signaled to Qin Shiou and the bald boss, and Matthew-King said humorously: "Look, if anyone says that we are discrimination in Canada, then we must ask them to come and see today's Scene. It turns out that as long as you can contribute to the people around you, they will not discriminate against you."

There is racial discrimination in Canada, but the most discriminatory against the yellow race is never the white, but the Indian third brother, South American and Mexican. The most discriminatory against the Chinese are the Japanese and South Koreans. Of course, they may not discriminate, but just despise. .

  The meat of toad crab is not as plentiful as king crab and queen crab, but it is very firm and has a toughness in the mouth. It has an umami taste when chewed, which is different from other sea crab meat that melts in your mouth.

Qin Shiou was full after eating five or six toad crabs. It was not that he had a small appetite, but that there were a lot of whelk shells piled up in front of him. This thing tastes great when dipped in mustard sauce, the feeling of excitement and umami is mixed. It's so cool.

  Leaving Queen’s Fishing Village, the group went to a small fishing village not far away. This was a fishing village that was once famous in Newfoundland. Now it has no fishing support and has become even more dilapidated. There are only two families in the whole village!

   "Look, these used to be the best fishing grounds, now you can see what they have become." Matthew King said with a sigh.

  Qin Shiou whispered to him: “After I visited, I had a deeper idea about building a fishing ground, but I don’t think it would be useful to those guys, they have no conscience!”

  This is not the bad things behind his back, but the real thoughts in his heart. You told the executioner that murder is cruel, isn’t that useless?

Matthew smiled and said slowly: "I don't care if they have any ideas or not. I just want to tell them through these fishing villages that if there are no fishing grounds, then Canada's coastal economy will collapse. The State and Fisheries Department will never allow this. Situation arises! So, if they ruin the fishery again, don’t blame our Fisheries Department for being cruel!” (To be continued~^~)
