Toad crab is a specialty of the St. Lawrence Bay. Its yield is relatively low, so it has not been sold and has no reputation. Except for the locals, few people know about this crab, let alone eat it.

Qin Shiou had heard of this kind of crab. He heard people talk about it at the bar when he came to the Bay of St. Lawrence to catch lobsters last time, but he didn't eat it at that time. There was only frozen old goods in the hotel. He now has a mouth full of food and doesn't eat old goods in seafood.

Qin Shiou was very happy now that he heard that there were such crabs in the ocean in front of the small fishing village. This was a surprise.

Toad crab is a translation by Qin Shiou. This kind of crab has no specific name. There are too many similar situations in the ocean, and many small and valuable creatures are living in name only.

But what's the need for a name? For marine creatures, the less humans are, the better they can live.

Locals call this crab 'toadcrab', which is literally translated as toad crab. They are small in size and slender legs, which are a bit like the mini version of king crabs. They have many natural enemies and cannot increase in number.

Toad crabs are used to sprinkle nets. The bald boss drove a boat to the sea, looked at the sea carefully, and muttered something in his mouth. Qin Shiou was quite puzzled when he saw it. Could this old man also have the heart of a sea god?

The sea god's consciousness was scattered at the bottom of the sea. Qin Shiou soon saw some fist-sized crabs moving under the sea. There was nothing angry in the surrounding waters. The number of cod was indeed very small, and there were very few fish such as herring, mackerel, and other sea areas.

However, this may be the reason for the survival of toad crabs. Crabs have a relatively low status in the marine food chain, such as sailfish, tuna and even sea bass, feed on them. Therefore, most sea crabs will grow larger, so it is natural to survive if they don’t grow up.

There are not many fish in the sea around Queen Fishing Village. The biological chains naturally cannot be connected, so the toad crabs have room for survival. If they are placed in the Daqin Fishing Farm, they will probably be extinct in a few days.

The sea god consciousness found a group of toad crabs. At this time, the bald boss also stopped the boat and turned around and smiled: "There are toad crabs here, let's go down the net, so lunch is enough."

Qin Shiou looked at the bald boss in surprise, but he was really convinced now. Only by relying on the consciousness of the sea god could he discover this batch of toad crabs. But the boss definitely does not have this supernatural power, so how could he discover this group of crabs?

The bald boss spread the fishing nets and sat on the bow of the boat to start smoking.

Qin Shiou asked out his doubts, and the bald boss smiled proudly and said, "This is experience, young man, this is the experience of the old fisherman! I can tell you, but this is useless because it depends on feeling and observation. It is useless to just know what is going on."

Qin Shiou put his posture very low. He was nothing great. The catch was obtained by the heart of the sea god. The bald boss was truly amazing!

The fishermen and sailors who make a living at sea admire the most are those who have real skills. Therefore, Qin Shiou is not as old as he or she has, but he can suppress the rough men in the fishing ground. Why? Because he can catch the most fish and shrimps and the largest fish.

The bald boss smokes a cigarette and explains to him the tips for finding toad crabs. Generally, these crabs stay in shallow water and have special preferences for their habitat. They like to eat a kind of seaweed, so they should pay attention to see if there are any seaweed fragments on the water surface. The more fragments, the more crabs there are.

This is the most intuitive way to judge. The rest should be done from the sea water, light, the degree of ups and downs of the waves and even the sixth sense, which is more difficult. Anyway, Qin Shiou felt that it was a whole lot after listening carefully.

After chatting for more than twenty minutes, the bald boss and Qin Shiou worked together to pull up the fishing net, and light orange crabs were lying in the green fishing net.

Qin Shiou took one and looked at it. No wonder this crab is called a toad crab. It is short and fat. There are many raised and sunken places on the shell, which are similar to the skin of a toad and the size is similar to that of a toad. This name is really apt to be seen.

The bald boss picked the crabs one by one, and threw them back into the water, only the big ones were left behind. In this way, he caught a lot of them, about forty.

I drove back with these bald crab bosses. When I was on the shore, I met two children in my teens, holding a net bag in my hand, inside which was the whets they touched.

Qin Shiou asked them if they were to sell it. The two children nodded happily. He took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the two children. This is not his pity for the two children. In fact, the wilt in this net bag must be about ten pounds, and one pound is more than ten yuan, which is about two hundred yuan.

The Ministry of Fisheries prepared lunch, which was made by the bald boss's wife. A group of fishermen were divided into four tables, with about ten people in one table. The dishes served were mainly green vegetables and common sea snails.

Qin Shiou had toad crabs and whiskers on the table. Buck and others asked dissatisfiedly why they didn't. The bald boss glanced at him and said that this was something he liked for the children, and it had something to do with you.

Hubble, Andrew and others, who were on the same table as Qin Shiou, all signaled to Qin Shiou and the bald boss. Matthew Jin said humorously: "Look, if someone says that there are people in Canada who discriminate against each other, then you must ask them to 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 ones who discriminate the most against yellow people are never white people, but the third brother of India, South Americans and Mexicans, and the ones who discriminate the most against Chinese are Japanese and Koreans. Of course, they may not discriminate, but just contempt.

The meat of toad crab is not as abundant as that of king crabs and queen crabs, but it is particularly strong. It has a toughness in the mouth and has a unique flavor when chewed. It is different from other sea crab meats that melt in the mouth.

Qin Shiou became full after eating five or six toad crabs. It was not that he had a small appetite, but that there were a lot of eddy shells in front of him. This thing tasted very good with mustard sauce. The feeling of stimulation and umami flavor was so refreshing.

After leaving Queen Fishing Village, the group went to a small fishing village not far away. This was once a very famous fishing village in Newfoundland. Now, without the support of fishery, it has become even more dilapidated. There are only two families in the entire village!

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

Qin Shiou whispered to him: "After visiting, I had a deeper idea of ​​building a fishing ground, but I don't think it's useful to those guys, they have no conscience!"

This is not a bad thing he says behind his back, but his true thoughts. If you tell the executioner that murder is cruel, isn’t that in vain?

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