Fish Road, which starts with Goseong in Gangwon-do and continues to Sokcho, Gangneung, Donghae, Uljin, and Pohang, offers a variety of dishes using seasonal fish. When seasonal winter fish pour down from port to port, merchants and restaurant owners are busy visiting. On a sunny day, the sharp scent of fish hanging from the nose envelops the town, and it's not hard to see people carelessly grooming the fish that will be on someone's table today at every corner of the alley.
For foodies who love fish, winter is an opportunity to find delicacies that can only be enjoyed at this time of year. From pickles and yangmiri, which can be found in early winter, to dochi, gizzards, moray eels, cod, and yellowtail, which taste better when it gets colder. Also, there are gourds that dry well in the winter wind and sun, are chewy and have a unique rich, oily flavor. With the exception of the Sea of Japan, some fish have precious bodies that aren't easy to even meet.
Winter fish are plump and delicious whether grilled or eaten in stew. As fish oil meets the hot temperature and overflows, its umami explodes. If you eat the same fish in different seasons and see that the viscosity and flavor are quite different, it's not for nothing that it's said that it's a seasonal food. If you miss this season, you'd be ridiculous.
New Year 2022 has dawned. Everyone is going through a difficult and difficult time, but if you take one step at a time like the rising sun, you will see the end of the tunnel. If you're planning a sunrise trip for the new year, be sure to enjoy the delicacies prepared by the sea along the Fish Road in the East Sea.

The device is a fish mainly eaten in the Sea of Japan, and its flavor improved during the seasonal winter season. In Gangneung, it is usually enjoyed steamed with spicy and spicy condiments, but Wolseong Restaurant's steamed dish is the most famous. This place is characterized by a very sharp sauce, but since the meat of the device is light, it blends well together. The thorns are simple and few, so they are easy to apply and eat, and they can be eaten with a few large potatoes that are about the size of a fist. If you mix the rice with the spicy sauce, you'll have a reason to come back to Sokcho.

â–²Testimonial (LADOLCEVIT): I tried steaming the device! It was to my taste! No seasoning flavor! But it's a pity that the soup doesn't come out. I think it would be nice to appease the spicy flavor with bean sprout soup, cold cucumber soup, or wakame soup!!!
2. Samcheok's 'Encounter Diner, 'a mackerel soup that seems to melt even from the sake you ate a year ago
insoworld's Instagram
Moray eel soup, a delicacy from the Sea of Japan. It is a popular product that is firmly ranked “No. 1 in the breakfast menu†for winter tourists. The flesh is flabby and has a lot of moisture, so if you cook soup, you can drink it in a bowl with the soup. When boiled with fresh kimchi, the soup has a unique refreshing flavor, which is excellent in Haejang. It is even recorded as a cure for alcohol sickness in the “Asset Report.†The restaurant of the meeting place uses moray eel that was brought in and prepared that day, and the fresh flavor of the soup is excellent.

â–²Review (Shikigami jnanakarma): It's nice to open the door early in the morning. I think it would be appropriate to describe the taste as cool. If you haven't tried it, I think it's a good idea to try it at least once.

The Pohang Hwanyo Sashimi Restaurant, famous for its sashimi, uses the entire building and has a spacious seating arrangement. The 2nd floor is popular because you can enjoy a meal while looking out at the Pohang Sea. The menu is served soon after you place an order. If you order sashimi, a spicy soup is served as a service, and the spicy soup, which has a thick consistency after cooking the fish for a long time, is sharp and has an excellent umami flavor. The rice served with the sashimi is also delicious when eaten with this spicy soup. The sashimi is topped with plenty of cucumber, seaweed, chives, sesame seeds, and ground peanuts, and the balance between the sweet and sour broth and the savory peanuts is perfect.

â–²Review (Shikigami Yumhee): A sashimi restaurant visited not only by locals but also by broadcasters and celebrities! If you pour in the ice broth separately and add as much sari as you like, it will cook: 3 Cool enough to make your teeth ache – Air rice goes with spicy soup. It was nice that the sashimi was fresh, but it was disappointing that the amount was a little small
4. Sokcho's “Chunseon-neâ€, a spicy soup that can only be enjoyed at this time
wooilzzang's Instagram
A careless guide with red paint exudes a sense of gastronomy. It's famous for its moray eel soup, but the dochiartan, which can only be enjoyed in winter, is also quite appealing. Tochigi is in season from December to February, and is characterized by its mild flavor and low fishy smell. The texture of Tochigi lean meat is soft yet chewy, so you can inhale it indefinitely. The potato balls, which are full of pots, have an attractive, chewy texture while popping.

â–²Price: Dochiartang 35,000 won, moray eel soup 30,000 won
â–²Testimonial (Pickled Radish 1):.. I'm not using any kind of broth… It's a soup made by adding a spoonful of fish to it… It's hard to say whether it's good…
5. A hearty trip with rice thief stir-fried octopus, Uljin's 'Jukbyeon Woosung Restaurant'
martin_1230's Instagram
It is famous for its mugomguk soup, but many people are also looking for stir-fried octopus. The octopus cut into large pieces is not chewy and is plump. This is because they use bluefin octopus, and when you pick one point and put it in your mouth, the sweet sauce and chewy texture come into contact first, and the more you chew, the more you feel the savory flavor unique to bluefin octopus. Seasonings tend to get spicier as you eat them. It's good to grate rice occasionally. It's not an empty statement that there are many reviews about adding two or more servings of rice after eating.
