Yeongsanpo Hongeo Street is a food street created in the Yeongsanpo area of Naju-si, Jeollanam-do, and is a famous spot to taste fermented skate (hongeo), Naju's representative local food. In the past, skate caught on Heuksando Island was transported along the Yeongsan River waterway to Yeongsanpo, naturally aging along the way and acquiring its distinctive deep flavor; this led Yeongsanpo to become the home of hongeo. Today, around the old Yeongsanpo port, more than 40 hongeo restaurants and wholesalers are gathered, allowing visitors to enjoy the unique aroma and taste of hongeo in various ways. It preserves a long food culture, as recorded in Jasaneobo by Jeong Yak-jeon in the late Joseon period that Naju people enjoyed fermented skate; nearby are the Yeongsan River Hwangpo sailboat dock and Yeongsan River Sports Park, making it a good place to look around together.
