Jijok Strait Jukbangnyeom
지족해협 죽방렴
A traditional V-shaped bamboo-stake fish trap set in the swift currents of a strait. It is a national scenic site, and visitors can watch fishermen haul in their catch from an observation deck.
Juksobang is a traditional fishing method that uses the swift tidal currents of Jijok Strait and V-shaped fences woven from bamboo stakes. It has existed for about 500 years and is designated a Korean National Scenic Site and a nationally important fishery heritage. The anchovies caught this way, known as 'bamboo-trap anchovies', are highly prized. From the observation deck beside Changseon Bridge, you can watch the fish fences up close and see fishermen hauling in their catch. Nearby restaurants serve anchovy sashimi and anchovy ssam. Admission is free, and it is about a 15-minute drive from Namhae-eup.
