What does the seaside fishermen often say about "catching the sea"?

Sometimes, we often hear some friends who live by the sea say that they are going to catch the sea. Some friends may not know what catching the sea means. In fact, catching the sea means that some small fish will be washed ashore at high tide, and then these fish may stay in shallow water after low tide. People living by the sea will take this opportunity to catch these fish. There are many kinds of fish, such as conch, crab and other fish.

The sea will rise at a certain time, and some fish will drift to shallow water. After the low tide, these small fish stayed in shallow water until they followed the seawater back to the deep sea. Some people will come to pick up these small fish when they see it. In the past, when living conditions were poor, these small fish in shallow waters became food for people to improve their lives. Some people even take their children to the seaside to catch these fish and then sell them to subsidize their families. In that era of material poverty, it can be said that catching the sea was a gift from nature, which brought rich nutrition to people living by the sea.

Now people's living conditions are better, and there are all kinds of seafood on the market. Friends who live by the sea still like watching the sea. At this time, they are pursuing the pleasure of catching the sea more than just catching small fish in the water. When the tide is low, make an appointment with three or five friends and we will go to the seaside to catch the sea together. A group of people chat, pick up small fish, and then barbecue at the seaside, not to mention how fun it is.

In a word, catching the sea used to be a way for people to get food, but now it is more a way of leisure and entertainment. Friends who are interested in catching the sea can go to the seaside, catch the sea once and eat the freshest seafood.
