Yeosu City: "Enjoy Fresh Sashimi While Driving on the Yeosu-Goheung Connected Island Bridge"

Yangsigeo Launches Drive-Thru Live Sashimi Sales

At Rest Area on Jangsu-ri Road, Hwayang-myeon, from 21st to 22nd and 28th to 29th, Abalone and Assorted Sashimi for 20,000 Won

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Yeosu City in Jeollanam-do announced on the 20th that it will expand the seafood purchasing event to minimize the damage to aquaculture farms struggling with management difficulties due to COVID-19.

At the rest area parking lot along the road in Jangsu-ri, Hwayang-myeon, the entrance of the Yeosu-Goheung land-connected island bridge, Yeosu City Fisheries Management Association will operate a live fish assorted sashimi sales booth featuring aquaculture seafood from Yeosu.

The sales booth will operate for four days over the weekends of the 21st to 22nd and 28th to 29th of this month, using a drive-thru method where citizens can order and purchase directly from their cars to accommodate those avoiding crowded facilities due to COVID-19.

The drive-thru live fish sashimi sales event will offer assorted sashimi (rockfish, mullet) and abalone at an affordable price in the 20,000 KRW range.

A city official said, “We hope citizens will drive along the blue sea and the Yeosu-Goheung land-connected island bridge to relieve their frustration caused by COVID-19, enjoy live fish sashimi, and participate in supporting aquaculture farms.”

Meanwhile, Yeosu City has been conducting a seafood purchasing sales event for four weeks from the 9th of last month to the 3rd of next month to help local fish farming households suffering from sluggish seafood consumption due to the suspension of live fish distribution caused by COVID-19, receiving great responses.

As of now, in the two weeks of sales, 35 million KRW worth of seafood has been sold to 13 related organizations and groups including Yeosu Coast Guard, Namhae Fisheries Research Institute, Suncheon City Hall, and LG Chem.

Additionally, Yeosu City actively promoted the event by sending promotional notices to about 1,400 Yeosu natives living outside the area, such as the Jaegyeong Hyangwoo Association, and decided to support 8 million KRW for delivery fees to revitalize the sales event.
