Winter, when
the cold wind blows hard, has arrived. The weather is cold enough to freeze my body, but I think the reason winter is so nice is because it's full of seasonal
, delicious seafood! A plate of fresh seafood dishes is perfect not only for winter health food, but also as a snack for drinks.
Starting with komak, which has a chewy texture and is filled with the scent of the sea, to monkfish sashimi served from a monkfish caught in the aquarium at the same time as ordering, to mackerel sashimi, a delicacy of Yeosu that you can enjoy in Seoul! Here are 5 of the best seasonal winter
seafood restaurants you should eat right now.
1.

“Suncheon Restaurant†offers South Korean cuisine with fresh seafood from all over the country. The signature menu is “Beulgyo chamkomak,†made by
gently steaming komak from Beulgyo with only a little bit of blood water flowing down. The plump, fleshy komak combines a chewy, crunchy texture with a salty flavor, and brings out the rich flavor of the sea.
The “course meal,†where you can enjoy 9 dishes at a reasonable price, is also popular.

styaki): They make a variety of foods with fresh seafood. If you slurp the blood water and then chew the komak meat, which is a must-eat in winter, the sweetness that comes out softly is good!

“Big Flatfish Sashimi Restaurant†is made by cutting sashimi into thick slices to make the most of their chewy
flavor. The signature menu, “Flatfish sashimi,†enhances the taste buds with the visual appearance of white fish meat with an
appetizing luster. The rich, mouth-watering feel is attractive, with just one slender sash. Belly fat, which has a savory flavor on your tongue the moment you eat it, is also a delicacy. After eating
sashimi, it's a great place to finish off with a refreshing spicy soup.

thick, so I was able to enjoy its fresh flavor even better. You can also eat half by half with other fish such as flounder, rockfish, salmon, and yellowtail.
3 . Gwamegi, where the more you chew, the more savory it bursts out, and

“Yeong-il Man†is a place run by the boss who worked as a fishery management official for 30 years. The signature menu is “Guamegi,†which contains
bite-sized pieces of guamegi , pickled sesame leaves, chives, seaweed, and kelp in one plate. Guamegi, which contains just the right amount of fat, is excellent, starting with its crunchy
texture and the rich flavor that remains at the end. Please note that alcoholic beverages are sold in limited quantities per person.

until the end because none of it got empty. It's fun to eat it in combination with the ingredients that come with it, but personally, pickled sesame leaves are the best because they are so clean!

“Muguri†is a diverse world of seafood dishes, such as monkfish, prawn, bluefin octopus, conch, and silkfish. The signature menu, “monkfish sashimi,†is “monkfish sashimi,†which is served with thin shavings of
live monkfish meat at the same time you order it. The large sliced monkfish sashimi has a soft yet chewy texture at the same time. If you order monkfish sashimi, the
green monkfish liver and light monkfish stomach are served together to add a hearty touch.

â–² Testimonial (I'm excited to eat):
I first learned that monkfish, which were only eaten steamed or boiled, can also be eaten as sashimi. The visuals are slightly similar to the pufferfish hall, but it feels a little softer! A variety of sets with different menus, such as sashimi, pork, and soup, are also available
.
5. Enjoy fresh Spanish mackerel sashimi in Seoul, 'Yeosu Sea' in Eungam-dong

“Yeosu Sea†is a fresh fish sashimi specialty store that sells mackerel and croaker, which are hard to find in Seoul. The signature menu is “mackerel,†which has a soft texture that seems
to melt as soon as you put it in your mouth. We recommend eating mackerel sashimi, which has a mild sweetness, soaked in a special sauce and wrapped in seaweed with jelly or vegetables.
The various ingredients in the sashimi blend harmoniously, adding umami and fun to chew.
