Traditional Local Food what I ate 3rd day in CheJoo Island

There were lots of local foods which it was not common out side of Chejoo island.
Local food in CheJoo island was deeply related with sea food.

There have been women who catch sea products. It was unknown it’s origin, but sea women were not only traditional business but also cultural resources of CheJoo island.

Now the age of sea women is more than 70 years old average.
Sea women have fought in sea to sustain their family.
They dived into sea to catch the sea products, sea vegetable, octopus, sea urchin, sea cucumber, etc.

I took some photos of sea women.

I heard about the restaurant where sea women operated by themselves with sea products they caught in sea.

It was small and humble restaurant by beautiful and fanatic beach.
I saw a sea woman prepare for fish

After retirement, I’d like to stay here for a while.

We ordered sea food water sashimi with sea urchin egg, sea cucumber and trumpet shell and sea urchin egg noodle.
There were no raw fish in that sashimi, but others were raw products.

Of course we never have tasted this menu before. Especially sea urchin egg is hard to take a taste outside of the beach and island. Because the freshness is the most important for sea urchin egg.

I put the rice into the sea food water sashimi. It tasted great. My son also satisfied with it.

Side dishes were also sea vegetables. It’s smell brought me sea flavor full in my mouth.

I strongly recommend you fellow steemins to drop by this restaurant when you visit CheJoo, Korea.

As always, we cleaned it up completely.

But we didn’t finish other menu, so we decided to drop by once more next morning.

They do all the work to get the seafood , then they do all the work to prepare it all Wow ! Upped and resteemed to share with all my foodie followers in my @momskitchen food blog !😋😋😋🐙

Awesome @slowwalker.. your pictures says everything that you enjoyed your food there. How those old women's can do all these things..big salute for them.. in my country even after 60 they cannot move from their bed..

Last pic shows sashimi was really tasty ☺

From the sea to the table...

WHAT A STORY!!!

Love it!!

Fantabulous
Good post go ahead

Interesting post

Is it a bit like some parts around the Mediterranean, where people will eat anything they can find in the sea that isn't poisonous?

Amazinh job

Nice photos @slowwalker, this food looks delicious and i guess it's also very fresh as it is captured and prepared by the sea women.
You planning to become a sea man/woman after retirement??

waow it's very rare seeing woman of that age making for their living.
nice article and scrumptious meal they got there, swimming is what i do for fun but hoping someday i "ll put it in practice when it comes to fishing😊.

I up votied i like koreia food

These women of CheJoo Island remind me of a group of other women in Japan who also obtain sea food. But I think the women in Japan are a bit younger.

Interesting post and job.

해녀!😎😎

I wonder whether female divers catching sea products for a living are in other countries like Japan, China, and etc. I totally agree with you that they are a unique cultural resouce.

This must have been such a thrilling experince, i am also wondering what an urchin' egg would taste like. Does it taste anything close tobcrab eggs?

Roughage my companion I like that you had imparted your flavorful excursion to us

great post @slowwalker , as always!

It's amazing that they are still diving for food after all these years. That food must have been extremely fresh!

Fresh from the ocean, @slowwalker! I am particularly interested in the sea women. They are very strong and faithful to their culture.

Hi, your post is very good I like, see is my introduction post @iqbaallsm

That's so amazing, so complete :)

I just posted about the introduction in steemit, I hope you can see and up vote my post thanks. :)

It looks so delicious...!! Yummy ..!! So great buddy...!!

This is amazing! I never heard of "sea women" before. It is incredibly that they do this when they are 70 years old!

I posted about the exact opposite thing today (the very young).
