In the streets of the Cheonbuk Oyster Complex in Boryeong, Chungcheongnam-do, famous for its oysters, oyster harvesting begins at dawn. The total volume of work for the day was 320 nets (approximately 3,520 kg)! Oysters are popular because they begin feeding when sea temperatures drop, which is when they gain weight and sweetness. However, the preparation process is labor-intensive because improper cleaning can result in unpleasant odors and the presence of foreign substances or lugworms. Cleanly prepared oysters are used in various dishes, including grilled and steamed oysters, as well as unique menu items such as seasoned oysters, oyster rice, oyster pancakes, oyster shabu-shabu, and oyster slurry.
Meanwhile, individual oyster harvesting is in full swing at an oyster farm in Goseong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do. Individual oysters are raised individually. It is said that individual oysters achieve both great taste and size by enabling year-round harvesting through chromosome number manipulation. The individual oyster farm covers an area of 150,000 square meters (15 hectares), and it ships approximately 30 to 40 tons of triploid oysters annually. Including the volume of oysters grown, they cultivate approximately 100 tons annually, but the work process is far from easy. Since the oysters feed naturally underwater, neglecting maintenance can cause seaweeds like Omandungi to cling to the nets, blocking water circulation and severely impacting oyster growth. Therefore, periodic cleaning is required; however, in winter, high-pressure spray hoses can freeze, halting operations. Furthermore, high-pressure water is dangerous if sprayed directly onto the body, so special attention must be paid to preventing accidents. Managing a large-scale farm involves cleaning one row per day; however, cleaning a row leaves work clothes covered in debris, leading to significant physical exhaustion. Let's follow the workers through the freezing winter conditions to preserve the flavor of the season.

굴 까던 아주머니들 나란히 앉아 손이 바빴지요
이제는 로봇이 그 자리를 지키니 굴은 말끔한데
그 고운 새벽 풍경이 그리워 마음 한켠이 씁쓸합니다
