Early Summer Delicacy in Korea: The Tale of the Cuttlefish

In Korea, early summer is celebrated with a seafood delicacy called 'hanchi' (cuttlefish), popular in the warm waters of Jeju Island and the southern coast. With a tender texture, it surpasses squid in popularity among locals. However, rising sea temperatures are altering its traditional habitat, pushing hanchi further north. Consequently, this once abundant southern delicacy is now commonly found near Ulleungdo and the east coast of Korea. The cultural change highlights both the gastronomic history and environmental challenges influencing Korean cuisine.
