The scales of hairtail caught with a net are peeled off as they collide with each other in the net, and they take on a dark color. That is why hairtail caught with a net is nicknamed 'meokgalchi'. It is different from the hairtail caught with a pole called 'silvergalchi', but they are actually the same type of hairtail. The taste of hairtail caught with a net is enhanced through the maturing process in a storage facility. People who know the taste are said to only look for meokgalchi. Since hairtail fishing with a net uses the power of nature, the current, rather than power, many things do not go as the fisherman intends. Strong winds affect the flow of the current, causing anchor lines and nets to become tangled in the sea, and there are also situations where fishing must be stopped immediately and evacuated to a nearby port due to sudden news of a strong wind advisory. The sea is full of dangers, but for some, it is also a place of opportunity. Fishermen say that the land is just a temporary resting place for their life at sea, and the sea is their life itself. ※ Beach People - The Sea of Opportunity, the Fate of Fishing for Mackerel (2021.05.26)
