Vendors sell all kinds of seafood from all over the world.
We purchased 4 live fish for W10,000. Not even sure what kind of fish these were.
They were filleted for sashimi. Can't say these were my favorites. The skin had tiny barbs and the fish were not optimal for eating raw. Don't get these for sashimi.
Live baby octopus--we purchased 4 for W10,000.
We took all the seafood we purchased upstairs to restaurant row. We chose the Japanese Restaurant because they didn't have an annoying tout outside the restaurant.
The octopus were chopped and brought to the table with the tentacles still squirming. It’s quite an experience to dip them into sesame seed oil and salt and put them in your mouth with them still squirming—the suction cups stick to your mouth unless you chew fast.
We had also purchased 2 blue crab for W6000 and had the restaurant make soup with them. This was delicious, just slightly spicy and with a nice fragrant vegetable called tong hu--edible chrysanthemum. It was large enough to feed 6. We ended up dumping the fish into the soup. The fish were soft and delicious cooked but I still had to get rid of the skin. Lunch was W3000 set up fee per person plus W15,000 to make the soup.
