"Hey, Edward, over here!" This is the area where almost 90% of the fish fry wholesalers in Boston gather. Edward has been dealing with sea ships for most of his life. So, it’s only natural to be well acquainted with this place. Before he came, he had already made a phone call to contact his friend here, so after driving in, he ignored the beckoning questions outside, but drove straight in. After driving for about three minutes, a big black man appeared on the side of Jiang Hai's f750, waving his hand to Edward with a happy expression.
As soon as Edward saw the man he stopped near him. As the two opened the door and jumped down, Edward and the big man on the other side of Jiang Hai couldn't help but hug each other.
"Boss, let me introduce you. This is Tony Potter, my brother in all but blood. Back in the day, we used to catch sperm whales together, now he is the largest fish fry wholesaler here. Tony, this is my current boss, from the mysterious East, Jiang Hai." After hugging the big black man, Edward introduced the two to each other excitedly. After Edward's introduction, this big man named Tony Stretched his hand to Jiang Hai.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, just call me Tony." As Tony and Jiang Hai shook hands, Jiang Hai nodded at Tony.
Jiang Hai observed the guy. He is more than 1.90 meters tall, has a big bald head and black shiny skin. Although it is winter, he doesn't wear too much. With a body so big that would scare other people, this should be the guy who was on the phone with Edwards.
This black man used to work as a crew member with Edward in California at the beginning, back then he was a little smaller than Edward. Later, after the two made money, Edward returned to Boston to retire, and Tony opened a fish fry company in Boston. .
Because of the color of his skin, they were discriminated against at first. But later, because of the quality of the fish they sell, they gained a foothold here. After all, in capitalist society, profit is everything, What is more concerning is whether you can bring wealth to them instead of skin color. When racial sentiments conflict with dollar bills, dollar bills are often more powerful.
"Although I dare not say that I am the largest in Massachusetts, I definitely have the most complete variety here. Edward has already told me about your intentions. If you want to choose grass seeds, you need First order the fish, because different fish naturally eat different seaweeds.” After being polite with Jiang Hai, Tony guided Jiang Hai and his party inside of his shop.
"My fry here is very complete. I have almost all fry that can be raised here. The boxes here are for Atlantic cod. Although you are not going to raise this fish, I still say that this fish is the most profitable, it can almost make a steady profit without losing..." Walking into the grid area behind him, Tony introduced Jiang Hai to the fishes they passed by as he walked.
The price of the cod fry here is really not expensive. One tail is about 13 cents. If one adult fish can sell for one US dollar and 75 cents, it is almost ten times the income, after deducting labor costs. You can raise them for almost a year, and you can make a net profit of about ninety cents per fish. One million fish is nine hundred thousand U.S. dollars, and ten million fish is nine million U.S. dollars. It is possible to make a steady profit without losing it, but it seems to Jiang Hai that the pattern is too small for his development.
"This is a herring. It is a fish species that can be reared with cod, but it does not grow very large. He is like a gift from Santa Claus. They are considered surprises." After walking through the most cod ponds, Jiang Hai looked at some of the ponds below. The herring fry inside is smaller than the cod fish. After all, the fish itself does not grow too large. The largest is about 30 cm. Unlike cod, it can live for a long time. Basically When raising cod, some herring will be raised. The economic value of this fish is similar to that of cod. It can be sold for money, and it can also be used as another food source for large cod. Of course, the most important thing is sales. If it gets bigger, there is no need to worry about sales.
The price of this fish is eight cents per fish. After all, it is also used as alternative fish food, so it is not expensive.
"This is the maine lobster pond, and this is the emperor crab pond. I specially introduced it from the Asian island countries, but it is not very easy to raise. This is bamboo shrimp, and it comes with this crab. Yes, although the taste is good, and I heard that the price is also good, but it is not very easy to raise. over there are oysters, I have almost all the oysters in the world, this is Galway oysters, produced in Ireland. this Is considered the emperor in the oysters, the Gidola oysters. If this kind of top-quality oysters grow well, they will sell for twenty dollars in a western restaurant. I heard that they also receive around ten dollars in profit when cooking these. Damn western restaurant..." After passing the cod and herring site, the mollusk and crustacean area appeared in front of Jiang Hai. The contents made Jiang Hai's eyes shine. Maine lobster Needless to say, is a representative species of Maine and the Boston area.
Although the prices, when sold locally are not high, Jiang Hai has always wanted to breed them, but these days, he has not dived into the water, so Jiang Hai does not know whether his site is suitable for raising these things. If it is suitable, he will surely raise a few. Although eating lobsters is despised by others in the country, Jiang Hai still wants to eat them.
In addition to lobsters, he also saw other valuable things that he had investigated.
In addition to these things, there are many other shellfish here, which are also food that Jiang Hai will buy in the future.
Jiang Hai is watching everything along the way. The things here are indeed very complete, even abalone.
However, abalones, ordinary small abalones, are not valuable. When sold in the domestic aquatic product market, they cost only tens of dollars a catty. The larger ones are sold in some coastal cities, which is a dozen dollars apiece.
After walking through these valuable shellfish, they arrived at a section of fish again, but the fish here is much better than cod and herring, So Tony introduced the fish to Jiang Hai.
"This is Atlantic salmon. The price of this fish is good, but I don't recommend you to keep it. This fish will live much better in the south, because we are too cold here. It needs to be kept for a while and only when it’s three years old can it be directly released in the sea. I heard Edward say that there is no fresh water source there. This kind of fish is not easy to raise... I recommend you these three Species, grouper, giant grouper and American red fish." Tony looked at Jiang Hai and said seriously.
"The giant grouper takes two years to grow. After it grows, it can sell for about $30 per kilo. The condition of the giant grouper is similar to that of the grouper. It can be sold after one year, but it would only weigh about two kilograms. If you give it two years, it can grow to about 15 kilograms, so basically it takes two years to raise and sell. The price is about 30 US dollars per kilogram. However, the survival rate of this kind of fish is very low. Not only will nature eliminate some of them, but they will also kill each other, they need to eat continuously, and the cost of maintenance is very high. The survival rate of fry is not more than 40%. Of course, I am talking about wild farming. If it is a cage, it will be relatively high." Tony introduced the fishes inside the tanks, and Jiang Hai hesitated as he looked at the grid he was pointing at.
