A place to chck out for good seafood and atmosphere of a seafood market is th Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market



koreans love their baby octopus (which are eaten live)and sea-slugs known as gaebul and monggae. both are eaten raw too!

Tip: Dipping them in sesame oil prevents the tentacles from gripping on the inside of your mouth!
