# Rough-cut raw fish at a fair price at the Gwangalli Eobang Festival

> My first time at the Gwangalli Eobang Festival, with friends. We ate raw fish from a beach food stall. The price was moderate and the slices were rough.

I knew the Gwangalli Eobang Festival is held every year, but this was my first visit. I went with friends on a Sunday, at about half past two in the afternoon.

Gwangalli Beach is 793 m from exit 3 of Gwangan Station. We passed exit 4 and walked toward the beach.

The festival grounds had a number of hands-on booths, and there seemed to be plenty of space for children to play.

## Raw fish from the beach stalls

We kept the meal simple and ate at the food stalls set up on the beach. We ordered only raw fish.

The price was in the middle, neither cheap nor expensive. The fish was cut roughly. I thought it had been prepared ahead and kept cold, but that is a guess based on it being a festival stall and not a raw fish restaurant.

We went during the day. I imagined that eating at the outdoor tables after sunset would have some charm.

## Will I go next year

Going back for next year's festival feels like a hassle, so I do not plan to return.

After the festival we moved to a grilled clam restaurant nearby. That story is in [my visit to Jogaeview Gwangan](/en/posts/gwangalli-jogaeview-20260614/).
