In the sixth lunar month, golden fish flock to the waters off Imjado.

White shrimp spawning on the sandy island of Imjado,

and the giant croakers driven by them.

Because their value is so high, the people of Imjado are busier than ever as they engage in fishing that is truly worth the price of gold.

Mr. Jang Young-sik heads out to sea again today to welcome the precious Yukjeot shrimp.

Will the Yukjeot shrimp, the finest of the finest boasting the highest quality, really fill the nets?

The hands of the fishermen, meticulously sifting out the tiny Yukjeot shrimp one by one as if panning for gold, are incredibly delicate.

Amidst the bustling of anchor boats dropping anchor and scattering white salt like snow to make shrimp paste,
Jeonjang Port on Imjado regains the vibrancy of the past for the first time in a while.

Is it only the "Nation's Little Sister" and "Nation's First Love"?

Here is the "Nation's Fish" as well. The main character is the "Mineo," named the "fish of the people."

If you go to Imjado, where it is said that "the sound of the Mineo crying keeps people awake at night in the summer,"

you can encounter Mineo that croak "kuuk kuuk" like frogs.

Today, Mr. Yoon Jun-cheol, a Mineo hunter with 30 years of experience, casts a long bamboo pole into the deep sea and sets out in search of that cry.

Will the Mineo, a lucky charm and a traditional summer delicacy, be properly caught on his radar?
