fishing fire

The squid fishing lights flickering in the jet-black sea make it look as if there is a town on the opposite shore. The jewel-like light sparkling in the darkness and the star-filled night sky invite the viewer to a fantastical world. The glittering light is a fishing light, and fishermen are fishing for squid that gather around the light. This fishing, which takes advantage of the tendency of squid to gather around light, is carried out until early morning when the sky turns white. Freshly caught squid is landed at the port and delivered to each household with the taste of freshly caught squid. This fishing fire can be observed from the high ground along the coast from mid-August to late September. Squid fishing season: Mid-August to late September
