Happy Fisherman Leo Seewald is on the hunt for fresh mullet roe. Every winter, tons of mullet tipped of the trucks arriving at Xingda Fishing Harbor are laid out to dry as far as the eye can see. This spectacular cascade of “black gold” is worth nearly US$200 per kilo, making mullet a prized part of the annual catch.
