Sokcho Stuffed Squid

In the east coast city of Sokcho, they make a stuffed squid dish that can not be found anywhere else in Korea.  I first heard about it on the Kimchi Chronicles (skip to about 16 minutes in if you just want to see what I'm talking about - although if you watch the whole thing Hugh Jackman inexplicably appears...always a bonus).

The dish is called "ojingo sundae" - literally translated to squid sausage.  The squid is stuffed with rice and vegetables, sliced and then fried.  The one in the picture was also dipped in an eggy pancake batter before being fried.  After a long morning of hiking in the mountains, this was a very welcome feast!
