    "Due to the weather, the cloudy day was less than an hour after going to sea. The fishermen caught more than a dozen small fish and made a mixed fish fin directly on the auxiliary boat for us to eat. Since the fish is very fresh, the sea urchin and oysters are steamed, and the food is very enjoyable! An interesting experience"
