Unique, traditional flavors of Jeju cuisine

There are differences in traditional food of the mainland and Jeju. Jeju developed its own food history because of its unique natural environment and socio-cultural background. As an island, Jeju is surrounded by the sea so it has a variety of seafood for all seasons and using various cooking methods. Jeju is a volcanic island, with sandy soil and basalt rock, so growing rice here is impossible. As a result, other different kinds of grains were used as ingredients. These include beans, buckwheat, barley, and so on. Fresh vegetables are easy to grow in the warm climate, so there are fewer uses of preserved foods here. For those food lovers who would like to experience Korean cuisine, Jeju’s traditional food will be definitely be a highlight of your trip to the island.

Heasanmul(Seafood) of Jeju

Jeju Island is surrounded by a cobalt blue sea giving tourists the pleasure of enjoying the scenery while dining. Every morning, fishermen and haenyeo (fisherwomen divers) go out to the sea to collect and catch various types of fish and seafood, allowing you the opportunity to enjoy these fresh and excellent Hoe (Raw Fish) and meals anywhere on Jeju, including markets and Hoe restaurants. Haesanmul Ttukbaegi (Seafood Stew) and soup made with a pot full of Jeju's sea freshness are recommended for people of all ages. Furthermore, the must-try varieties of fish in Jeju: Mackerel, Galchi (Cutlass Fish), Okdom (Horsehead Tilefish), etc. can be enjoyed anytime cooked by Jorim (braising), Gui (grilling) or hoe (raw fish) depending on your personal preference. However, Jeju style Mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) made with Hanchi (Cuttlefish), Jaridom (Spotted-fin Puller) can only be tasted while in-season and never fail to attract foodies.
