Jeju wet market

Jeju, South Korea - We were looking for dinner when we came across a wet market near our hotel.   There was a buzz as fishmongers were haggling with customers on the price.   Young Jin got the price down to W70,000 for 2 and 1/2 fishes.

Sashimi of 3 fishes

Our dinner

The meat of the fishes was so delicious and fresh - it was a very good meal.   The fishmonger took our sashimi and walked us to a restaurant nearby where we can have our nice meal.   The fishmonger stall does have tables for diners, so maybe there is a agreement between the restaurant owner and the fishmongers.

We were charged W10,000 per table and it includes the spicy fish bone soup.   Soju and other dishes are separately charged.   The lettuce are provided by the fish mongers.  Water and cups are provided and it's self service.   A culinary system of a fine dining experience.

Lunch - yummy spicy seafood soup

Jeju - After all the personal tour and before our business meetings; we were looking for a nice lunch as we are hungry.  We came across this seafood soup restaurant across Ramanda Jeju.

Abalone spicy seafood soup and rice

At least 5 Jeju abalones in this soup.  Jeju abalones are much smaller than their cousin from Australia but the taste is so fresh and succulent.

Nice Jeju seafood

Jeju - We were introduce to a nice seafood restaurant by Hyatt concierge and drove there.
