Which kind of fish is the most delicious for fish balls? I guess most people will say grass carp or bluefish, and I thought so until yesterday. Today I went to the reservoir to catch a fish that I have never seen in my age, and after being mentioned by the old people, I suddenly realized: the fish meatballs I have eaten over the years are "inferior".
Every morning at six o'clock, I would put three fishing rods on the edge of the reservoir; then tie them to the iron fence and go to the neighborhood to exercise. First, try your luck, and second, you have time to exercise, which is good. Next to it are the "old fishing rods" of several uncles, who come to fish almost every morning. Sometimes it's good luck to have a harvest for several days in a row; there are all kinds of bluefish, crucian carp, and white mouths. In recent days, I have caught the opening of the reservoir gate, and I have better luck and caught a few cinnamon fish; the largest one is actually more than 8 pounds, which simply makes the old man happy to blossom!
I rarely fish, most of the time just to pass the time. Listening to these "old fishing rods" say that big fish eat loach, so yesterday I went to the market to buy a pound of live loach and prepared to try it today. I didn't think about it, just tied the pole, before I finished warming up, I heard someone shouting: Boy, the pole is bent, the pole is bent! As soon as I looked back at the three poles, the two on the side did not move, and the middle one was almost bent to 180 degrees! I thought to myself: Good guys! Don't break it, hundreds of poles, only to buy! One stepped forward, loosening the rope and releasing the line; the mind desperately recalled how to fish? Usually, if it is a small fish, the fishing rod will come up slightly, but this time I feel that I can't use force at all, and I don't dare to use full force. The uncle who was fishing next to him saw it, dropped the pole, and rushed over to pull the pole with me: there is a big cargo! Absolute! It was more exciting to watch than I was. I thought to myself: Uncle, don't get too excited, you must be leisurely. So we pulled the pole: the fish pulled the line, and we loosened the line; the fish did not use force, we closed the line.
It took twenty minutes, and finally, we were running out of strength, and the fish was no longer "fluttering". There were also more and more onlookers nearby: some people were watching from the shore with fishing nets, some were waiting on the shore with shovels, and some were holding rakes. I thought to myself: Don't run, it will run away and lose face. When the fishing line was almost closed, just after revealing a fish white, the person with the net directly cast the net to help us drag it together; after a few minutes, three or five people finally dragged the fish ashore!
A few old men gathered in front of the net to take a look: My God, this fish is rare! As soon as I listened, I hurriedly dropped the pole and fixed my eyes on it: I don't know. Only the gills on both sides of the fish were seen to have a dark yellow shell, the scales of the fish were shining; the head of the fish was pointed like a fish. The teeth inside are more like serrations; visually they should be more than ten pounds. "It's a carp!" A onlooker said. The other old fishing rods will slow down: "Looks like!" Another old man took over: "What is like, it is a carp!" I was also a little confused for a while, and asked the uncle who had just helped next to me: What is a carp? Can I eat it? Uncle looked at me in surprise: "What words! Sure to eat, and the best freshwater fish! Better than cinnamon fish and blackfish! It's delicious to make fish balls! ”
I was overjoyed. For a while, he said passionately: Everyone who helps today has a share! Eat fish balls together at noon! Thank you all! For a moment, the three "old fishing rods" and a group of onlookers behind them all echoed loudly. I:......
