He just didn't know how this fish had died.
Lu Ao happened to have ice on his boat. Since it had no other use, he hauled it all out and dumped it over the fish with a crash.
It would be such a pity if such a fresh Miiuy Croaker went bad on the boat due to improper storage before they could bring it back.
After filming it, Lin Qiyan paced around the huge Miiuy Croaker, looking it over. "Your luck is unreal. This is practically picking up money from the sea."
"Not bad."
"How heavy would the dried fish maw from such a huge Miiuy Croaker be? I'd guess this fish could sell for close to a hundred thousand."
"I don't know. We'll talk after we get ashore."
After picking up the fish, they turned the boat around and headed back.
Lin Gongshang and the others were still hauling in their nets. They thought Lu Ao had only gone to pick up some marine debris, so they did not think much of his return.
In the middle of his work, Lin Gongshang casually asked, "What did you pick up? Don't tell me it was a plastic sheet?"
Among common marine debris, plastic waste was one of the most destructive.
Plastic particles in the ocean could even cause baby fish to become deformed.
"No, it was something good this time." Lin Qiyan deliberately kept them guessing. "Guess what it was."
"What could it be? Don't tell me it was a fishing net? An intact fishing net?"
"No. We went to pick up a fish."
"No way. If you could see it from that far away, how big would it have to be? How could you just casually pick up a fish?"
"We really did pick up a fish." Lin Qiyan
