The Korean film 'The Book of Fish' explores a historical figure, Jeong Yak-jeon, exiled to Heuksando Island, where he documents marine biology including the local specialty, fresh skate (a type of fish) sashimi. Unlike the fermented version known on the mainland, the fresh skate sashimi of Heuksando is celebrated for its firmness and subtle ammonia aroma due to a weeklong refrigeration process. The island, known for its pristine skate, hosts an annual skate festival showcasing this delicacy.
