Chapter 573: Chapter 354: Leopard Turns into a Kitten

As Chu Mingcheng pulled the fish onto the boat, the entire fish appeared before their eyes.

The fish’s body was shiny silver, glistening in the sunlight, and compared to a fresh bandfish, it was very beautiful.

"This really is a White Ladyfish!" Jiang Luoluo took a photo with her phone and then looked up the fish’s origins.

"White Seabream? These people really name things casually!" Chu Mingcheng leaned over to look and shook his head with a laugh.

"The internet says the taste of this fish is pretty good, let’s keep it!"

"Sure, who knows how long it will last!"

"So are you going to stop now?"

"Definitely not, the killer whales are tired of the Golden Spearfish, so let’s switch it up today."

Even if the taste of the fish was good, most that grow so large tend to have rough textures, and the taste actually isn’t that great.

The kind of fish that gets tastier as it gets bigger is not high in proportion among all seafood.

Since they were eating themselves, Chu Mingcheng naturally wanted to catch some smaller ones, and feed the larger ones to the pets.

Then he took a large plastic box, shoveled some ice from the cold storage, laid it out, and put the fish in to chill first, not in a hurry to put it into the cold storage.

He continued to scoop out a small threadfin bream from the live well, hung it on the hook, and threw it back into the water.

When Jiang Luoluo realized the fish was bigger than she had imagined, she obediently went and grabbed a hand-held electric fishing rod, joining in the fishing.

However, a few minutes after the fish bit the hook, the force wasn’t as strong as she had imagined.

Moreover, it was intermittent, fundamentally different from a fish’s burst of strength.

"Eh, did I catch a cuttlefish?"

"There’s a cuttlefish too?" Chu Mingcheng put a much smaller, seventy-centimeter White Ladyfish into the cold storage, which he wanted to eat himself.

When he heard his wife mention cuttlefish, he was delighted.

The cuttlefish from the Indian Ocean must be different from those in the Pacific Ocean, and he could unlock a new species.

This time he didn’t rush to fish but stood aside and waited.

Seeing that the pull wasn’t so strong, Jiang Luoluo didn’t turn on the electric reel either.

Since there were no electrical outlets on the sailboat deck, and the electric reel couldn’t be charged at will, she had to save battery.

The creature she caught didn’t resist much, it was just a bit heavy.

Jiang Luoluo hugged the fishing rod and kept reeling in, taking about five or six minutes to successfully pull the creature to the surface of the water.

"Wow, such a big squid!" A vibrant red squid, approximately seventy to eighty centimeters in length, appeared before them.

Jiang Luoluo flexed her sore wrists and continued pulling it to the side of the boat, then curiously asked, "Could this be a juvenile King Squid?"

"No, this should be a Diamond Fin Squid, also known as a flying squid," Chu Mingcheng was particularly impressed with this kind of creature that looked like a squid but was actually from the cuttlefish family.

"I occasionally saw some videos before, and some introductions were like this."

"Guys, look. The fisherman holds a sharp knife to dissect a deep-sea Diamond Fin Squid that was just caught on the boat. As the sharp knife slices through the body of the Diamond Fin Squid, the bright red skin instantly flickers, changing between red and white."

"The main thing is, all those video narrations sound the same."

At that moment, the mischievous Hei Ye curiously came over and gently touched the Diamond Fin Squid.

Instantly, the body of the Diamond Fin Squid changed from red to transparent, this sudden and strange change scared Hei Ye into barking continuously.

Meanwhile, he jumped around, restlessly poking at the Diamond Fin Squid with his paws.

This agitated the Diamond Fin Squid, which contracted its body and suddenly sprayed ink from its mouth.

"Ahhhh..." Hei Ye was sprayed in the face right away, and his fierce barking turned into screams, evidently scared.

Chu Mingcheng burst out laughing, while Jiang Luoluo admonished with a smile, "That’s what you get for provoking it, and now I have to give you a bath later."

"That’s easy!" Chu Mingcheng grabbed Hei Ye and threw him directly into the water.

"Splash," the pitiful Hei Ye was immediately submerged by the seawater, and then a smear of black appeared on the surface of the sea.

Jiang Luoluo, speechless, covered her forehead with her palm: "What’s the difference, I still have to wash him with fresh water later."

"It saves some tap water!"

"Not really..."

The two chatted idly but kept busy with their hands, Jiang Luoluo continuing to fish, while Chu Mingcheng started dissecting the Diamond Fin Squid.

With one cut, the delightful touch, along with the white yet thick body of the squid, was very tempting to the palate.

Although it was a cuttlefish, it looked so much like a squid after being cut open.

The meat yield was primarily in the torso, the tentacles very short, but because the cuttlefish was large, there was still quite a substantial amount, enough for a large stir-fry.

This was a good ingredient, and Chu Mingcheng felt it was even more delicious than the White Ladyfish.

So he immediately went back and got a set of equipment specially for fishing for Diamond Fin Squid and joined Jiang Luoluo in fishing.

The day was spent, and the catch was pretty good.

In the evening, the cold storage contained an additional plastic box of squid tubes and processed squid heads.

"Hmm~ It’s been so long since we fished like this, I’m so tired!" Jiang Luoluo saw that it was getting dark, stretched lazily showing her lovely figure, then began packing up the gear to head back.

"Then rest well, I’ll cook tonight," Chu Mingcheng fed the last White Ladyfish to the killer whales and started packing up as well.

They caught quite a few squids and the White Ladyfish by mistake just as much.

The two of them only kept two fifty-centimeter "small fish," the rest ended up in the mouth of the killer whales.

Back in the cabin, Jiang Luoluo lay on the couch and turned on the TV to watch a movie.
