Mackerel Lady Near Samgakji Station

This lady can cook Mackerel.  Any given day you will see her, or her sister sitting on a small stool cooking Mackerel on this little grill.  She is standing right now because she is posing for my picture.  When I ask her if I could take her picture, she was more than happy to oblige.  

My friend T took me to the little restaurant a couple of weeks ago.  It has quickly become my favorite little hole in the wall.  As with most Korean restaurants, there are 2 sitting area, one where you sit on the floor, the other where you sit in chairs.  I would say you could fit maybe 20 people in here, and at lunch time it is always busting at the seams.  When you walk in, you get your own water, and then seat yourself.  Soda’s and other drinks are not really an option at little places like this, which is fine, because most of the food is so spicy all you need is about a gallon of water.  Here, you don’t order.  You get what you get, and you don’t throw a fit – period.  You get mackerel, and tons of side dishes, at least 3 types of soup, sometimes 4, peppers, black beans that are never fully cooked, which is the way they are supposed to be.  I like them, hubby doesn’t, you also get several types of Kimchi, rice, seaweed paper, and some kind of fishy side.  The side dishes are always changing.  This will set you back only 5000 won. When you pay, pick up a tiny vitamin yogurt drink on your way out the door.

    Proud Army wife and mother to 4 wonderful children.  I love to cook, travel, work out and scrapbook life’s adventures when I find the time.  We just got orders & are heading back to the states in March 2010.  I'm bummed that our time has been cut short, but proud of Hubby for the reason why.
