What comes in Bongpo Hoega's medium mixed sashimi takeout

Bongpo Hoega medium mixed sashimi platter, to go

I ordered the medium mixed sashimi platter. The fish included flounder, rockfish, flatfish, and pufferfish — seasonal fish that can vary depending on the time of year and price. I liked that the pricing and composition for the mixed platters were clearly posted, so I didn't feel like I'd get ripped off.

My mom and I ate together and it was plenty. Even though it's takeout, they didn't just pack the sashimi — they included three cooked shrimp, aged kimchi (mukeunji), lettuce wraps, peppers, and garlic so we could eat a full meal, plus a whole set of sauces: soy sauce, wasabi, ssamjang, and chojang.

When you pack sashimi from Jungang Market, you often only get the fish itself, so you have to prep sides and sauces yourself at the accommodation... At Bongpo Hoega, they included everything, so it was easy to set the table as soon as we got to the room. The sashimi had a nice firm, chewy texture, and every kind we tried was delicious.

How to eat the sashimi: ssamjang, wrap greens and seasoned seaweed

I mixed wasabi into the soy sauce for dipping, and also tried the ssamjang and chojang to my taste. The ssamjang especially!!! It was totally different from store-bought ssamjang — savory with a spicy-sweet kick.

It paired well with the sashimi, and the peppers and garlic they packed went nicely alongside too. Putting a piece of sashimi on a lettuce leaf with ssamjang and garlic was a great way to eat it. We'd also brought our own seasoned seaweed (jomi-gim), so we tried wrapping the sashimi in it. The slightly fatty red fish went on top of the seasoned seaweed, dipped in soy sauce and wasabi — and that combo worked surprisingly well. The texture reminded me of eating yellowtail, and it matched nicely with the savory seaweed, soy sauce, and wasabi.

Eating sashimi back at the hotel: how well the ice pack worked

Even the same sashimi felt different dipped plain in soy sauce versus wrapped in seaweed, which made it easy to enjoy comfortably while watching TV in the room. When the sashimi started feeling a bit repetitive, wrapping it in the aged kimchi was also good. Alternating between soy sauce and wasabi, ssamjang with veggies, seasoned seaweed, and aged kimchi, we somehow finished the whole medium mixed sashimi platter from Bongpo Hoega haha. They also packed an ice pack underneath the sashimi, so it stayed cold the entire time we were eating at the hotel. Being able to eat it cold down to the last piece was really satisfying for a takeout sashimi review from a Goseong raw fish restaurant.

Since we were staying at Kensington Seorak Beach, I tried getting sashimi to go from a restaurant near Bongpo Port in Goseong. If you're looking for a place to easily pick up sashimi takeout for your accommodation, try the mixed platter from Bongpo Hoega.
