[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Market Kurly announced on the 18th that sales of seasonal seafood have significantly increased with the arrival of spring.


According to Market Kurly, from the 1st to the 15th of this month, sales of live jjukkumi (webfoot octopus) increased 6.5 times compared to the previous 15 days. By product type, domestic live jjukkumi from ‘Uju’ surged by 550%, and live Thai jjukkumi from ‘Haewon SD’ also rose by 178%.


Sales of seasonal cockles also increased by 12%. In particular, the chive cockle bibimbap sauce, which makes it easy to prepare the representative menu of ‘Yeonan Sikdang’, recorded the highest sales. The second place was taken by ‘Iho’s live new cockle product.



A Market Kurly official said, “We deliver live jjukkumi directly from the production site on the day they are caught, ensuring freshness, which has led to positive customer reviews. As temperatures rise in spring, managing seafood delivery becomes more important, so we have increased the amount of coolant and implemented special freshness management to prepare for the temperature increase.”
