It takes about 2 hours from Mokpo Port, and you have to go further into Heuksando to see it. When guests come to Yeongsando, a small island in Sinan, the whole village becomes bustling. When guests come to Yeongsando, the grandmothers go out to the sea! There is no market or supermarket on the island, so when guests come, the grandmothers go out to the sea to buy groceries. Today’s market is Whale Rock on the back of the island! There is nothing that is not found on the rocks, including natural mussels, sea squirts, turtle hands, and rock laver. And that’s not all! There is kelp picked on a raft, and even mullet caught with a traditional net! Guests cannot help but fall in love with the taste and the scenery of a table full of seasonal seafood that captures the spring of Yeongsando! Handmade rock laver dried in the sea breeze, a spoonful of rice that is crunchy but still nostalgic! Natural rock laver from Yeongsando that can only be eaten during this season! Choi Seong-gwang’s heart is both happy and complicated as he watches his mother preparing to dry the rock laver. As a child, Seong-gwang had to watch over his precious laver, worrying that it might fly away in the spring breeze. He couldn't even taste the laver. As his son complained about the laver with love and hate, his 81-year-old mother prepared freshly cooked rice and crispy roasted laver. There are many delicious foods in the world, but nothing can compare to a well-roasted laver and a spoonful of rice. Let's meet Yeongsando's spring table, which is so satisfying and heartwarming. ※ Korean Travelogue - Country Restaurant Part 2 Ojida Yeongsando (2018.05.08)
