[지극히 味적인 시장](46) If you put horse mackerel sashimi on sesame leaves … Defense also becomes ‘something’

Gyeongnam Tongyeong Oil Plant

Lively transportation for about 15 days.
The art of taste to buy with moderate oil
If you put rice and wrap it, your eyes will close

Before going to Tongyeong, I stopped by Hongseong, Chungcheongnam-do for a while. At 7am, take a photo of the fresh rice cake, taste it, and set off for the original destination. He writes, but when Food MD goes to local or local businesses, he often takes business trips with interviews. He goes to Tongyeong while he cures the fresh rice cake. Although the road runs every week and month, there are places where business trips are exciting. Gangwon-do is Samcheok, Gyeongnam is Hadong and Tongyeong, and Jeolla-do is Goheung. There are places with memories and some just good ones. Tongyeong is just a good place. On the way to Tongyeong, I left Hamyang Interchange and went to Sudong-myeon, where my favorite Eojukjip is located. After a long visit, the owner changed in the meantime. It is a place that Grandma used to do alone, but it is said that she left the store two years ago. After having a bowl, I headed back to Tongyeong. When you don’t want to eat at a roadside rest area, pull out of a nearby bus stop.

Although it is a small West Lake market compared to the central market, it has it all. It is a central market to visit, but the price is good and the water is better. The day the Jungang Market oil market opens, I had a lot of anticipation in my heart because I heard that there are many things to see in the Seoho market. Unfortunately, I did not see abundance on this business trip. Like the Namhae oil field in Gyeongnam, the oil field in the Tongyeong Jungang market is banned until the Corona 19 stabilizes. However, there are many sellers and buyers at Seoho Market, who were from early in the morning (arriving the day before and overnight). An acquaintance I met at the market said, “I don’t have much more than usual.” Even if I look back, I am the only other person. I am also cautious when speaking.

The atmosphere is quite different from Corona 19 earlier this year. At that time, the people with masks were half and half. I also often forgot about the mask that I had removed from the car, so I would go back to the car again and again. I often forgot to pack a spare mask in my camera bag. The dialect comes and goes with a mask. Not only the merchant and the merchant, but also between the merchant and the customer, is full of love. There was a lot to see at the booth next to the permanent market. Although it is not large, it is divided into vegetable pancakes and fish pancakes without limits.

It seems like warm spring weather to me from Seoul, but the people of Tongyeong are around 0 degrees cold. Each seat has a simple charcoal stove. Above were pots and kettles of different shapes and forms that spewed hot steam. I went out to look at the seat. December is more fish than vegetables. Vegetables are delicious too, but fish was the most delicious time of the year, so naturally it caught my eye. Tongyeong is famous for oysters. Oyster farms are located in each valley between Tongyeong and Goseong, and between Tongyeong and Geoje. Tongyeong is a place where not only oysters are caught but also conger eel traps. That is why there are many restaurants that sell sea eels when walking through Tongyeong harbor. The water catfish and Daegu stand out, which have come into season. In a place that specializes in seafood, Seoho Market is where you can see Daegu live. This is Daegu from Oepo, Geoje on the other side of the bridge. It was in front of the mackerel stall that I opened my wallet as I looked around.

The taste of winter mackerel meat in good water is full of sweetness. Until a few years ago when winter came, I used to go mackerel fishing in Gampo, Gyeongju. It was delicious eaten on its own and with pebbles, but it was delicious even if it was baked or simmered spicy. Due to my experience with the taste of mackerel, my wallet was opened in front of winter mackerel where the water is very good. Mackerel is said to come from neighboring Busan or Yeosu, a bit far away, and a boat from Tongyeong is said to have been caught. In fact, it doesn’t matter where winter mackerel is caught. The moment of capture is only important. It is delicious because it is the time when a lot of energy is stored in the body to get through the cold winter. In Tongyeong, mackerel is not just caught. They also raise a lot of mackerel.

Yokjido is about an hour by boat from Tongyeong. He has been growing mackerel for a long time. Mackerel farm was also seen and water catfish drying so I boarded a boat to Yokjido. You can also take a boat from Tongyeong Passenger Ship Terminal or from Samdeok Port via Tongyeong Bridge. By the time you enter the port, you will see a round mackerel farm around Yokji Island. It is round to match the characteristics of the mackerel that swims in a straight line. Fish farms that do not hide in rocks or do not migrate are usually square. For mackerel farming, the captured fingerlings are caught and raised for more than a year before shipment. When you get off at the port, there is a round aquarium where the mackerel swim in each restaurant. There are many ways to enjoy fish. It is also eaten with sashimi, grilled, simmered or pickled. The method does not matter. You can eat it however you like. Live mackerel is said to be the most delicious, but my pick is simmered.

After turning the Yogjido over, something spicy tugged. Plus, if cooked with sweet radish in early winter, it’s delicious enough to become king of the rice thief. When I asked for boiled food, there were two mackerels under a radish. The exterior was red, but the white meat was soaked in boiled soup and ate it. I also had radish soaked in soup. While eating, I opened the lid of the second bowl of rice. Gogumada is as famous as the mackerel in Yokjido. The texture is between chestnut and pumpkin and has a sweet taste, so many people visit it in season. A young couple who returned home seven years ago runs a farm and bakes sweet potato bread. I couldn’t buy sweet potato bread because it was too late, so I bought only sweet potato cake for dessert and ate it on the boat. You cannot eat food in the cabin. Instead of the cabin, I enjoyed a sweet dessert alone in the car. Evergreen Mackerel (055) 642-6777, Mumu Bakery 010-8535-8438

Yokjido and neighboring Yeonhwado also grow a lot of mackerel. I decided to go to Yeonhwado Island next time and decided to replace the Yeonhwado Island horse mackerel circuit which is called ‘Magari’, ‘Megari’ and ‘Aji’. In Jeju, it is called ‘gakjaegi’. Live horse mackerel is said to be lived on Yeonhwa Island like mackerel and shipped ashore. Instead, it is said that it is not long and is about 15 days. In that way, it is said to be vivid without dying during the transfer. If the sashimi is garnished with horse mackerel lacking adequate fat for unfeed cattle, the meaty taste is an art. Horse mackerel is generally aged and eaten as sashimi or sushi. It has a completely different flavor and texture than horse mackerel, which was eaten with a smooth texture. There is also sushi, but I wanted the sashimi to be better than the sushi. It would be nice if there was a second hand, but there wasn’t. The small live horse mackerel sashimi cost 20,000 won, and the price got cheaper as the unnecessary table was removed.

I ordered a gonggibap and had it with ssambap sashimi. When you drink, the delicious rice becomes a drink. On the contrary, good sandwiches are sometimes used as garnishes for rice, which is the case. Put ssamjang on some pieces of ssamjang sashimi with fat and the eyes will close on their own. I know immediately why it gets soggy when I taste it. I don’t know in writing. In winter, they visit a lot of defense, but in Tongyeong in December, they are horse mackerel instead of defense. Whether for price or for pleasure, the defense becomes a ‘something’ for a time against horse mackerel. At sea, the defense is also chasing to say that horse mackerel will eat it.

Mussels boiled and boiled in water.
Bibimbap with yolk goes well with rice cake
Every flavor is not spicy, so

When you come to Tongyeong, there is a house where you should eat only one meal. It is a place that I have been to before appearing on television. It is not Chungmu Gimbap. They eat it as a snack and stop as a rite of passage for a delicious meal before hitting the road. Usually as sea squirt bibimbap, but sometimes also as Hapja-guk bibimbap. In the past, when there were a lot of mussels, the mussels were boiled and dried. The mussels boiled in water are cooked and simmered. Hundreds and thousands of mussel broth are concentrated, so it was the best seasoning. The flavor is enriched by adding the liquor soup. It has a different taste than the slight taste of chemical seasonings. The combination of bibimbap made from chopped mussels and fried in sesame oil and seasoned with Hapjaguk is called Hapjaguk Bibimbap.

Unlike using red pepper paste and rubbing it in, it looks dull. It doesn’t have a spicy taste like heotjesatbap, so every flavor is alive. This is the charm of Hapjaguk’s bibimbap. Sea Jet (055)644-7774

When I left Yogji Island, I got on the last boat at 4:30 pm. By the time he got closer to Tongyeong, the sun was disappearing beyond the island. I counted the remaining sunsets this year and found 8 (although the article comes out on the second day of the new year). Everyone was struggling with Corona 19. In the new year, I wanted both vaccines and treatments to come out and get back into everyday life. We also wish readers were healthy without corona 19 infection. Best wishes for a happy New Year.
