Traditional Local Food what I ate 3rd day in CheJoo Island

There were lots of local foods which it was not common out side of Chejoo island.
Local food in CheJoo island was deeply related with sea food.

There have been women who catch sea products. It was unknown it’s origin, but sea women were not only traditional business but also cultural resources of CheJoo island.

Now the age of sea women is more than 70 years old average.
Sea women have fought in sea to sustain their family.
They dived into sea to catch the sea products, sea vegetable, octopus, sea urchin, sea cucumber, etc.

I took some photos of sea women.

I heard about the restaurant where sea women operated by themselves with sea products they caught in sea.

It was small and humble restaurant by beautiful and fanatic beach.
I saw a sea woman prepare for fish

After retirement, I’d like to stay here for a while.

We ordered sea food water sashimi with sea urchin egg, sea cucumber and trumpet shell and sea urchin egg noodle.
There were no raw fish in that sashimi, but others were raw products.

Of course we never have tasted this menu before. Especially sea urchin egg is hard to take a taste outside of the beach and island. Because the freshness is the most important for sea urchin egg.

I put the rice into the sea food water sashimi. It tasted great. My son also satisfied with it.

Side dishes were also sea vegetables. It’s smell brought me sea flavor full in my mouth.

I strongly recommend you fellow steemins to drop by this restaurant when you visit CheJoo, Korea.

As always, we cleaned it up completely.

But we didn’t finish other menu, so we decided to drop by once more next morning.
