Cold winter is the best season to eat seafood, where maintaining freshness is essential. As a result, many search terms such as “seafood†and “seafood†were confirmed compared to other months, and soup, earthenware pots, and hot pot that contain seafood and have a strong, refreshing flavor are also very popular. To fully enjoy the flavors of January, I recommend Namhae, where you can enjoy fresh seafood freshly caught from the pristine sea.
