Umjine Mudskipper Stew (Jjangttungeo-tang),
Korea's Rarest Coastal Delicacy, Jeolla Region Icon

Jjangttungeo-tang (짱뚱어탕) is one of the most distinctive and rare regional stews in Korean cuisine, originating from the mud flat coasts of Jeolla Province. The mudskipper (짱뚱어) is an unusual fish that lives on land as much as in water, developing a lean, firm flesh and a uniquely rich, earthy umami flavor that is unlike any other seafood. This specialty stew has deep roots in Korean coastal food culture and is rarely found outside its home region.
