# 9 - Strange Korean food - Ground Mud Fish Soup - MUST TRY!

Seoul - This is my number 9 strange food that I have had in Korea.   Kevin Chae brought us to a Mud Fish restaurant to taste the ground mud fish soup (Chuotang)

Name of the famous mud dish restaurant
Mud Fish
Mud Fish and Loach are synonyms.  In fact it is a Chinese Muddy Loach which is a small elongated bottom-dwelling freshwater fish with several barbels near the mouth.

Deep fried mud fish
The mud fish is wrapped inside green chilli (seedless) with tempura flour and deep fried.   I tasted more of the green chilli and it was good.

Grounded mud fish soup
You add bowl of rice into the grounded mud fish soup, add garlic and spring onions to taste.  Stirred and slurp up the dark tasty soup.   To some it might be an acquired taste but I finish my bowl.

Steam pork and kimchi bean sprouts
Kimchi

This steam pork and kimchi bean sprouts, Kimchi are an appetiser dish.

Kevin, Kyoungho and Youngjin
It was good to meet up with Kevin after 6 years and hasn't age at all...must be the eating of mud fish and kimchi.
