活 魚 三 吃 Live Fish

I promise I won't do this again...well not too many times. I won't be one of those quirky types who photographs every meal, but this was special and cultural which is the theme of this blog soooo, here it is.

(Part 1)

There is a type of live fish restaurant favored by Chinese and Koreans. This one we ate at was Korean and it was right on a harbor. They catch a live fish fresh out the tanks in the restaurant, my kind of fishing! Then they make the first course, which is sashimi and some as fried fish. The 2nd course is other types of live seafood, in this case prawns, that we want made into sashimi. The 3rd course brings the spicy seafood soup made of out of the fish bones, crab and spices, the various types of kimchee vegetables and the white rice.

All of this is eaten while sitting cross-legged overlooking seagulls and the water rippling through the harbor outside. Koreans seem to enjoy coming to these places in large family groups and with large quantities of beer. We skipped the beer, looked good though, but we did have a large family group with us on this pleasant warm evening.
