Redfish fishing boats on Heuksando are fighting in the deep blue sea. Redfish on Heuksando are worth a lot of money! Redfish with plump flesh are flocking in during the spawning season. Five hours by boat from Heuksando, only experienced fishermen find the path where redfish flock. The dangerous West Sea where you can't look away for even a moment! The moment redfish are caught in a row, fear disappears and exclamations pour out. Let's sail the rough sea, following the tangy taste and strong smell. - Part 1 A boat leaving Heuksando Yeri Port. The reason they endure the ceaseless swaying sea and continue forward is to catch redfish. Around this time, the redfish is plump and meaty during the spawning season, making it popular. Among them, the redfish from Heuksando is acknowledged as the best! Let’s go on a rough journey to find the redfish that boasts a high price. You don’t use bait when catching redfish. You use a longline with a ‘7’ shaped hook and weights hanging at regular intervals on a fishing line that is over 1,000m long. You place the longline in the path of the redfish and wait for a few days. Then, the redfish that was going its own way gets caught on the hook. This is a traditional redfish fishing method from Heuksando that takes advantage of the redfish’s habit of swimming on the bottom. How could it be easy to welcome such a precious body? I tried to pull up the longline that I had placed a few days ago, but all I found were empty hooks. All that came up were anglers. The redfish that I finally caught after waiting often get hurt by the attacks of the shrimp. This is because the seawater temperature is high even though winter has come. Despite the rough fishing, fishermen still eat sweet rice and lie down on their swollen bodies on the rocking boat. It feels good on a day when the red sun rises over the horizon. 80% of the success or failure of catching redfish depends on the captain. This is why Captain Sim Dong-yeol, a veteran who has been catching redfish on Heuksando Island for 34 years, diligently writes his log. The fisherman’s intuition was right. Redfish are lined up on the longline he pulled out. Every sailor’s dream, a full catch! In the still dark dawn, the auction house is bustling. The redfish moved from the boat undergo a meticulous sorting process according to gender, quality, and weight. Each one is certified as a premium redfish from Heuksando Island by attaching a QR code. The suffocating auction scene is no different from receiving a report card for the captains. These days, when we have lost our gatherings due to COVID-19, the price of redfish has been cut in half. Who will understand that pain? The captains who have been catching redfish together on Heuksando Island for a long time gather to share their thoughts. On land, people enjoy the tangy taste of fermented skate, but on Heuksando, they eat fresh skate. It's a privilege of the place of origin. Grandma Kim Jeong-jin's knife skills, which cut the skate into bite-size pieces, are full of sincerity. It is said that she became the first female matchmaker in a time when only men went to the auction house. Now, her daughter has taken over and become the big shot on Heuksando. We hear from the mother and daughter how to enjoy skate deliciously. This winter, when skates flock to Heuksando, we meet the story of the rough sea. - Part 2 Heuksando skate fishing boats sail the dangerous West Sea. They have to overcome the threat of Chinese fishing boats invading our territorial waters, the blizzard, and the rough waves. Even if there are people who have never eaten skate, there is no one who has only tried it once, because it is so addictive! Let's follow the people of Heuksando who have devoted their lives to the sea and go in search of the delicacy of the sea, skate. The Hong-eo boat, which is about to go on its last fishing trip of 2020, has completed all preparations but is unable to leave the port. Once it sets out, it must stay on the sea for three nights and four days, because the predicted waves are very high. After waiting for the wind to die down, it decided to set sail. It will take five hours to sail to the open sea of ​​the West Sea where schools of Hong-eo gather. The sea is an unpredictable and scary place, but it is also a treasure trove of opportunities. Captain Kim Cheol-yong, who is in his fifth year of fishing for Hong-eo, also took the helm after retiring from the fisheries cooperative and dreaming of a second act in his life. The young foreign crew members of the Hong-eo boat flew in from Indonesia and Vietnam with the hope of building a house in their hometown. It is easy to confuse Hong-eo with Gwang-eo, but they can be easily distinguished with a little kno
