Flatfish and Sea Bream FestivalIn late May, wild flatfish (olive flounder) and sea bream are caught off the coast of Seocheon. Wild flounder is difficult to keep fresh during transportation, so the festival is held to invite people to the port to taste them fresh. Visitors can try catching the slippery, vigorously flapping flatfish with their bare hands! Flatfish that are plump and glistening are placed in a massive water tank, where people enter bravely to catch them with bare hands. If you fail to catch one, you can try the ones caught and prepared by a local. Flatfish is one of the most popular types of fish eaten raw in Korea because it is tasty, chewy, and affordable! Seocheon is known for wild flatfish, which will surprise you with the size as well as the chewy texture and mouth-watering smell. Visit the festival to try the extra-chewy wild flatfish that will tantalize your taste buds at affordable prices against the backdrop of the splendid scenery of Seocheon and you will not only appreciate the food but also the generosity of the local merchants. They even offer steamed flatfish, flatfish pancakes, and various other sublime dishes made with flatfish.일정날짜 미정장소58, Seoin-ro, Seo-myeon, Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do요금무료(추정)서천군 팝업·축제·전시·공연 정보를 놀맵에서 확인하세요.
