Why go

장항항 수산물 꼴갑축제 is a local seafood festival held at Janghang Port, celebrating the region's fishing heritage and fresh coastal catch. The festival centers on 꼴뚜기 (squid) and 갑오징어 (cuttlefish), two staples of the local fishing industry. Visitors can sample grilled, dried, and raw preparations of these seafood varieties directly from vendors at the harbor. Beyond eating, the event typically features fishing-culture exhibitions, hands-on activities, and performances tied to the port community. Janghang, situated along the western coast of South Korea, offers a working-port atmosphere that distinguishes this gathering from larger, more commercialized seafood festivals.
