Sorae Fish Market
Saturday 11th November
Today I went to Sorae with Nami, my girlfriend. There is a fish market at Sorae that I really wanted to go to. We managed to get the bus, the one that takes us to Shinsegae, the one that says Sorea on the front (in Korean) but unfortunately it was going the wrong way, my bad! So we got out of that and get a taxi there instead (the taxi went straight back the way we came, ooops).
The sun was setting and it was beautiful. There is a bridge on the other side of the market so we made for that to catch the rest of the sunset, but that place was rammed! Loads of families, people carting stuff around and there really wasn’t much room in the gangways anyway! The place was like a small maze with dead-ends and all. Unfortunately, we missed the best of the sunset while trying to get to the bridge.
Coming back through the market was interesting, now with a lot more time to look around there seemed to be a lot more to see! Mini white shrimp, slightly larger pink shrimp, shrimp with pink stripes, octopods of many sizes, big live crab, little live crabs, crabs in soy sauce with chilies, little fish, live little fish, big live fish and lots of other products too!
By this time it was time for a bite to eat, and I have been looking forward to having the shell fish BBQ since mum told me about it! We went to a place where the lady outside was really trying to convince us to go in, to be quite honest there wasn’t much cooking going on behind the scenes, cos you do the cooking at the table, so it didn't seem to matter which of the many restaurants we went to. The meal is great! On the BBQ you have a metal bowl which has chili sauce, garlic and fresh chilies in, this cooks to make a nice sauce for the shell fish. The shells, either opened of not, are put on the grill and BBQ’ed in the shell. When they are done you put them in the sauce and eat them. Pretty simple, but definitely effective. And of course, I had to go for another dish while I was there. A few restaurants had a tank out front with shrimp swimming around in it. They looked so cute outside the place we were at and I couldn’t resist. They came in a pot, on a burner on a bed of sea salt. The lady chops them up and you eat the tails then the head, and they are sooooo tasty. So simple but I think it was the freshness that really gave them a lot of flavour.
