The Monday Seafood Gourmet Meeting was planned as an event to promote seafood consumption by changing the location and time of the executive meeting, which was held every Monday at the county office, to the field, followed by a luncheon using local seafood after the on-site executive meeting.

Following the high response and interest in Jukbyeon, the county governor, executive officials, staff, representatives of Hupo Fisheries Cooperative, and fishermen gathered after the on-site executive meeting to enjoy a lunch consisting of various local seafood such as sashimi sushi and seasoned raw fish, while assessing seafood sales trends, exchanging opinions, and encouraging local fishermen and seafood market members.

County Governor Son Byeong-bok stated, “We will continue to strengthen the seafood safety system through enhanced radiation inspection and strive to promote seafood consumption. Considering the dual hardships faced by the local seafood industry due to rising oil prices, we will prepare additional support measures.”

According to the seafood consumption promotion plan, Uljin-gun is preparing a free tasting event of a cup of mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) along with the promotion of fresh seafood from Uljin at the opening ceremony of the ‘33rd Gyeongbuk Residents’ Sports Festival’ starting on the 22nd. The county plans to do its best to promote seafood consumption and minimize damage to the local seafood industry by expanding support in the fisheries sector to alleviate management difficulties.
