No, I did not wear rain boots and go to the auction. We picked what we wanted and had a restaurant within the market prepared for us. My well-informed travel companion from Singapore advised that the lobster sashimi was fresh and great value, costing mush less than those in Hong Kong and Singapore.
The picture is what the orange creature we saw in Busan looked like in its ready to eat state. It smells fresh, a texture and taste I am unfamiliar with, and takes some getting used to. Its name is Meong-gae.
Don't miss Noryangjin market on your next trip to Korea, especially if you like seafood.
