Namhae-gun, 'Wednesday is Seafood Eating Day'... Continued Measures to Promote Sales

Establishment of a Comprehensive Plan for Consumption Activation

Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam, held the ‘Wednesday is Seafood Eating Day’ event at the county office cafeteria on the 19th.

Namhae-gun has established a comprehensive plan to promote the consumption of seafood.

This was part of the ‘Namhae-gun Seafood Consumption Expansion Support Project’ that has been promoted since February, and to help revitalize local aquaculture, they introduced menus such as braised rockfish using farmed rockfish. Fishermen, including Cheon Myeong-jo, president of the Namhae-gun Fisheries Entrepreneurs Association, also joined the event to actively promote seafood consumption.

Namhae-gun has supported online sales commissions for seafood such as anchovies, mackerel, and cutlassfish, and together with the Namhae-gun Fisheries Cooperative, operated the ‘Namhae Seafood Eating Day’ by touring four domestic sister cities and the Government Sejong Complex.

Namhae-gun plans to operate ‘Wednesday is Seafood Eating Day’ every Wednesday at the county office cafeteria and actively encourage participation from all public institutions in the area.

Starting with this event, Namhae-gun will officially implement a comprehensive plan to revitalize seafood consumption.

First, through the ‘Support Namhae! Seafood Discount Event’ using a government-funded co-prosperity discount project, they will provide processing cost support for farmed rockfish and offer a 20% discount sale.

Along with this, free tasting events will be held at places such as Sangju Eunmorae Beach, and active seafood promotion activities targeting nearby local companies will be conducted.

Additionally, by encouraging all senior officials and departments of the county office to participate in using local sashimi restaurants and supporting traditional market seafood shopping campaigns that cheer on local small business owners and fishermen together, they plan to continue fostering an atmosphere of seafood consumption revitalization involving all residents.

Namhae-gun has been proactively working ahead of time to promote seafood consumption by establishing the Fisheries Resources Division last October.

A Namhae-gun official said, “Through various policy initiatives that can promote Namhae-gun’s high-quality seafood, we will create an atmosphere that satisfies fishermen, residents, and tourists alike.”
