This year's event was held under the theme of 「Pohang Guryong Pogwaegi, Black Stone Eel, and Jongga」, and more than 60 people, including reporters from major domestic newspapers and a number of famous influencer, attended.
At the event, a variety of dishes using gwamegi and Yeongilman black eel by Park Jung-nam, a culinary researcher, attracted attention.
Park Myung-in, the head of the Yemi-jeong Food Research Institute, has been studying and disseminating traditional food cooking techniques for more than 20 years in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, a region where four ancient books in the food and cooking field, including Food Dimibang, have been handed down.
Park Myeong-in "Gwamegi and eel were one of the winter health food of Andong Yangban family during the Joseon Dynasty."This time, we have developed a food that is familiar to Korean tastes and has modern decorations using Pohang Guryongpo catfish and Yeongilman black eel as ingredients."
On this day, Park Myung-in introduced new menus such as gwamegi jeon made with chopped vegetable rolls and perilla leaves, gwamegi sashimi made with gwamegi in konjac powder, fried eel eggplant, and eel fish cake.

The Yeongilman black eel has also gained weight since this month, and the delicious eel is being caught in the sea centered on Yeongilman Bay in Pohang.
Until now, Pohang City has been developing various foods by trying to change the image of gwamegi, which was recognized only as a winter star meal or a snack.
Last year, chef Park Chan-il, a master cook, was invited to hold an event called 「Taste Pohang in 2023」. In 2022, '7 million campers! Promotional presentations were held under various themes such as 'Taste of Winter, Stick to Guamegi', 'Wings on Guamegi Lunch Box' in 2021, and 'Guamegi, Becoming a Star Snack' in 2019.
Pohang Mayor Lee Kang-deok said, `The reason Pohang citizens have a healthy body and mind is that Guryong Pogwamegi and Yeongilman black eel will be influenced in part by the effect of Guryong Pogwamegi and Yeongilman black eel.'
