Yangpyeong Ice Smelt Festival

What is ice smelt?

Ice smelt refers to a particular type of small fish, commonly known as smelt, which are often found in cold waters. These fish, thriving in the icy environments of regions like Korea, are a popular catch during the winter months when the lakes and rivers freeze over. Ice smelt is well-known not only for their role in winter fishing festivals but also for their delicate, mild flavor, making them a culinary favorite. During events like the Yangpyeong Ice Smelt Festival, participants can try their hand at ice fishing, an exciting winter tradition where holes are drilled into the thick ice to reach the fish swimming below. Catching ice smelt requires both skill and patience, but the reward is worth the effort, often leading to delicious meals cooked right at the festival site. As these tiny fish are abundant and quick to catch, they offer a uniquely enjoyable and family-friendly winter activity.
