Pacific sauries are being dried on the 2nd floor of an old Japanese house in Guryongpo 구룡포 九龍浦 harbor near Pohang on the eastern coast. Guryongpo used to be just a port town but it is getting famous for dried pacific sauries. Many tourists visit this town to enjoy them during the winter. Winter is the best season to dry and taste pacific sauries.
It is also easy to find old Japanese houses in Guryongpo because many Japanese lived here during the Japanese rule in Korea. Dried pacific saury becomes Koreans' favorite winter food. It is well known that Pacific saury is so nutritious. It is called Gwamegi 과메기 in Korean.
