Noryangjin Fish Market

Today I went to the fish market in Seoul. I love fish markets. It was huge and full of many strange sea creatures. This market is interesting because you can buy whatever you want, carry it to a resturant in the market and they'll cook it up for you! We bought a fish, crab, and shrimp.


This is a photo of the fish market from above.




I love taking photos of all the fish and things. Another teacher said that these are very delicous, but I haven't tried them.




Squid is very popular here. In convience stores you can buy dried squid, I guess it's like squid jerky. Apparently a very good way to eat it is to eat it raw. Baby squid is supposed to be very good. When you eat it raw it's still wiggling and will suction to your mouth. This one obviously isn't alive still.




We bought two crabs for dinner. These are the ones that we chose. They were delicous! We had it steamed. Instead of giving us nut crackers for the legs, like in the States, we were given scissors. Scissors are used quite often in eating here. If you get noodles or anything, you can use scissors to cut it up.




This is a big fish that we chose for dinner. It was served raw. It came sliced, and then we had some sauces to dip it in. After dipping it in sauce, we could eat it or wrap it in lettuce or sesame leaves and then eat it. Sesame leaves have a very strong favor to them.




This is a photo of our dinner. We sat on the floor and had lots of soju and beer to drink.

This soup was served last. It was cooked at our table. It was very spicy and had, fish, mushrooms, green things, and duk (it's like a rice noodle).
