The spring season in Korea has been unpredictable with significant temperature variations between morning and evening, leading to an increase in cold cases. In such times, maintaining good health is crucial, and consuming seasonal seafood can serve as excellent nutritional support. This May, the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries recommends cuttlefish and pen shell as prime seafood choices.
Cuttlefish, named for its armor-like internal shell, is low in fat and high in protein, making it ideal for diets. It is rich in taurine, beneficial for fatigue recovery and energy boosting. A refreshing dish made with fragrant Korean water parsley and seasoned cuttlefish is a popular spring delicacy.
Pen shell, named for its shape resembling a traditional farming tool, is larger than other shellfish, reaching sizes of 25-30 cm. It is rich in essential amino acids like arginine, aiding muscle recovery and boosting immunity. With its soft and chewy texture, pen shell is versatile in various dishes including butter grilling and pasta.
Fishing spots around the West Sea, the East Sea, the South Sea, and Jeju Island are actively catching various seafood, including the recommended cuttlefish and pen shell. This week's fishing forecast anticipates mild weather, suitable for enjoying Korea's coastal waters.
