Tongyeong Coastal Food Trip: Chungmu Gimbap & Fresh Seafood

Chungmu Gimbap → Jungang Market → Harbor Seafood

Arrive in Tongyeong and eat the original Chungmu Gimbap — plain seaweed rice rolls paired with spicy squid salad and pickled radish. This is the birthplace; every shop in the harbor area has its own version. Walk to Jungang Market for fresh oysters (Tongyeong produces 80% of Korea's oysters), grilled shellfish, and sea squirt bibimbap. Evening stroll along Gangguan Port for more harbor-side grilling.
