Coming to Jeju Island, visitors should not miss the opportunity to enjoy delicious dishes from this specialty, including nutritious abalone porridge - a dish originally reserved for ancient kings. This porridge costs about 12,000 won and is quite pale. Photo: Naver
In addition, you can also try the fried abalone fried rice dish.



Rice cooked with pumpkin creates an eye-catching yellow color and is served in a hot stone bowl, with sliced abalone on top. Diners need to pour a little water into the bowl to let the steam evaporate, making the rice soft, greasy and delicious. Photo: Danielfooddiary.
The most appreciated dish by tourists is the freshly grilled abalone, which costs about 30,000 won for 0.5 kg. Abalone is cooked well, still fragrant and creamy. The smoky smell gives this dish a very attractive flavor Photo: Danielfooddiary.




Alternatively, you can try fresh abalone sashimi, seafood soup or abalone hotpot. However, many people say that fresh abalone is quite tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat. Photo: Danielfooddiary.
This abalone comes in part from the haenyeo, who are known as "real-life mermaids". For centuries, these women make a living by scuba diving to capture marine products such as abalone, sea urchins, snails ... and sell them.

This work is very strenuous and high-risk. Diving too long can cause the body to lack oxygen and the heart to stop working. The haenyeo had to know when to stop searching, and to hold enough air to slowly rise to the surface. Photo: Roadandkingdoms.
They not only make a living but also preserve the traditional culture of Jeju Island. At the same time, the proper exploitation (not catching young children, not catching at the time of spawning) also contributes to environmental protection. Photo: Roadandkingdoms.




Environmental pollution makes their work more and more difficult. Jeju Island abalone has also plummeted, making catching one more fun for haenyeo. Photo: Roadandkingdoms.
