You're perfect except for the expensive one, your name is blue crab
Gunsan-si, Jeollabuk-do, Korea
There is a food that reminds me of the proverb, ‘Even if two people die while eating, they do n’t know.’ If you are on a diet, you should never get close to the rice thief crab. The soy sauce crab sauce can taste the sweet and sour blue crab flesh like 'sashi', and the seasoned crab sauce has a spicy and sweet seasoning and vegetables. In this prosperous season, I visited the blue crab in season.
What comes to mind when you say ‘Gunsan’? Seonyudo Island of Gogunsan Islands? Where Jeolla-do's hearty table starts? Let's take a look at the map for a while. Crossing the stem of Geum River in Seocheon, South Chungcheong Province, the land of Jeolla Province begins. Gunsan is at the starting point. After Gunsan, Gimje and Buan to the south, and Iksan and Jeonju to the east. It is a town that has both the West Sea tidal flats and the Honam plains on both sides. A rich land with fresh water, salt water, and even plains. In addition, it bears the stems of the West Sea and the Geum River, which is advantageous for transportation in and out of the Korean Peninsula. The stem of the Geum River, which separates the boundary between Gunsan and Seocheon, digs deep into the West Sea from the outside to Ganggyeong, Chungnam, and carries it in one body with the sea.
This land, which had a natural environment of warmth, was unable to escape the Japanese occupation. The invaders could not know the advantages of Gunsan, which is good for transportation while also providing abundant food in water and water. In the 21st century, it is also the reason why we can make a “modern cultural history trip” just by looking around Gunsan properly. How can heal wounds stuffed with the name 'history'?
A taste tour of seasonal crabs in the West Sea
I looked at the overall atmosphere of Gunsan. Today's trip to Gunsan is a very delicious 'blue crab trip'. That they don't know if one dies while they eat! The slender young lady is the main protagonist of the rice thief, who eats two bowls of rice. However, there are so many stories that Gunsan had to just come to eat, so it's a pity to eat crab crab and stop by the Iseongdang bakery.

Where is that? Thanks to its rich environment, Gunsan has many delicacies. From Korea's oldest bakery <Lee Seongdang> to <Bokseongru>, one of the nation's top five champons, to <Gunsan Sashimi House>, which has the rumor that it boasts the largest scale in Asia. Aside from the crab shop, there are plenty of restaurants and bakeries across the country. In addition, powerful restaurants such as <Daega>, <Gyeok Garden>, and <Han Joo-ok>, famous for their crab dishes, are added. Although not as “touristized” as Jeonju in the neighboring neighborhood, Gunsan here is a taste that can not be missed by gourmets.

On the way to meet today's protagonist Crab, I suddenly wonder. Why is it Gunsan? Blue crabs in most parts of the West Sea. But why is the poisonous Gunsan crab crab famous? Let's find out from the beginning of the crab crab.
Soy crab without words
As we know, there are many blue crabs on the west coast. The East Sea is usually snow crab, and the West Sea is blue crab. As the name suggests, crabs are not as hard as shellfish (salt crab), and they are less expensive than snow crabs, so you can enjoy them freely. That doesn't mean the taste is falling, so I think there is more filial piety for fishermen.

However, there were many difficulties in storing blue crabs. Live crabs eat my flesh over time. Now, when the technology has developed, it is only necessary to freeze and store fresh blue crabs with 'rapid freezing', but where would that be? It is in the same context as the development of chopped salt in a hard land located inland inside the stem of Geumgang.
Soy Crab
Fishermen who had to keep blue crabs for a long time thought of salting. Initially, the crab intestines were removed and salted. The purpose was to keep the crab for a long time without damaging it. However, like this salted blue crab, it can be stored for a long time without being damaged, but it is too salty. The blue crab has a light but salty taste.
Seasoned crab crab
“How can I keep the crab crab for a long time while preserving it?”
Seasoned crab crab rice is also honey-flavored
From this worries, soy sauce crabs were born for the whole country. As the crab was pickled in soy sauce, the preservation period was extended, and the harmony between the soy sauce and the crab meat was good. How happy it was to make the first soy sauce crab.
Soy Crab
There are a lot of hands to make soy crab, but it's surprisingly simple. First, fresh crab is essential. The taste of soy crab is determined by the freshness of ‘flower crab’.

Add fresh green crab, green onion, garlic, ginger, etc., and simmer the boiled soy sauce. Pour blue crab until it is completely immersed so that the sauce is evenly seasoned. Then, if you want to learn how much soy sauce is seasoned with crab meat, pour the soy sauce, boil the soy sauce again, cool it and pour it. Soy sauce crab is the process by which it is made.

Repeating this three times is called 'Sambeoljang'. Gunsan Blue Crab is famous for its Sambaljang.

Delicious blue crab, where to taste it? <Daega> and <Gyeok Garden>, located on Geumgang-ro, in Amyeon-myeon, Gunsan, are conveniently located next door. You can enjoy not only crab crabs, but also crab crabs and steamed crabs. It's usually good to go around at 9pm, so it's better to go leisurely. Arrive after a little over 8 pm It's the tip of someone who has experienced turning around at the door, so remember.

And when you taste crab dishes, it is more advantageous if several people find it. This is because you can taste both crab soy sauce and seasoned crab sauce, as well as a variety of crab dishes, such as steamed crab and main dishes such as crab crab. No matter how greedy you are, it is a little difficult to taste crab dishes among travelers and lovers alone. It's the best fall family meal trip. Delicious but far-flung crab crabs are quite expensive.
Sashimi from both blue crab and white meal
The blue crab alum of <Han Joo-ok> is also indispensable. Soy sauce, seasoned blue crab, sashimi, and fish soup are similar when you think of a hoejeongsik. When agu jjim is added to this, the crab crab is set. Boiled fish and grilled Bakdae are also added. Just think of the hearty shape of Namdo Island.
