WOW, very BIG fish market~~~ It was such an amazing experience, walking around the market, looking at the big octopus, lobsters, giant crabs, abalone, oysters, and Korean people doing business.
It seems like we were the only tourists there! What a fishy experience =)
Even though it was already 7am, we managed to see the auction taking place~
The beauty of visiting the fish market, is to actually select the seafood we want to eat for our breakfast. Seafood for breakfast? How odd can it be for Malaysians... You can come here for lunch or dinner anyway, but we have to see the auction. No choice lor. LOL we took a super long time to choose and finally bought the baby octopus [ eaten live, called the sannakji ] for W4000, abalone (3 pieces for W10,000 = RM10 each ;) and flounder fish [ "gwang uh" ] (W20,000) for sashimi... Here's the still 'live' baby octopus:
After we select the fish for sashimi, the seller will cut the fish, wrap it, then bring to their designated restaurant, where they will prepare the other food at a cost. For the octopus, it was just cut into small pieces and sprinkled with sesame. The octopus is still wiggling by the way O.o For the abalone, we asked for butter grill (in korean, "butta gooey"). We also ordered the spicy fish stew ("maeoontang"), which was prepared with leftovers of the fish we bought.
The experience of eating sannakji, well, the video says it all:
The flounder fish eaten as sashimi is very chewy, does not taste really good. So in the end, we just put everything raw into the pot of fish stew. The fish is so smooth now that it is cooked. Yes, that's the right breakfast for us! LOL
A: Personally, i think the fish stew is the best! Haha...
