Emart Winter Seafood Festival... "Discounts on Bangeo Hoe and Fresh Daegu"

Emart will hold a Winter Seafood Festival offering yellowtail sashimi, fresh cod, oysters, and more at discounted prices until the 12th.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Emart announced on the 6th that it will hold a Winter Seafood Festival offering discounted prices on yellowtail sashimi, fresh cod, oysters, and more until the 12th.

During this event, the representative winter fish, yellowtail sashimi, will be sold at a 5,000 KRW discount when accumulating Shinsegae points. According to the yellowtail production industry, the average sea temperature along the East Coast rose last year, causing yellowtail catches to decrease by 40-50% compared to the average year, and prices have increased by more than 20% this year.

To stabilize yellowtail prices, Emart secured yellowtail fry along the East Coast since last summer and pre-planned with fishermen and aquaculture farms to stock a total of 20,000 yellowtail, approximately 130 tons, at designated aquaculture farms on the South Coast. This allowed them to offer reasonable prices to customers regardless of market fluctuations.

Domestic fresh cod in king, extra-large, and special sizes will also be available. Emart plans to secure supplies from all coastal areas including Boryeong on the West Coast, Busan on the South Coast, and Ulsan on the East Coast. South Coast Bongji oysters will also be sold at a 40% discount when accumulating Shinsegae points.

An Emart representative said, “As demand for home dining increases, Emart has launched the Winter Seafood Festival,” adding, “We will continue to plan various seasonal seafood events so that customers can enjoy fresh seafood at affordable prices.”
