Even though my stomach was already stuffed before the sashimi even arrived, it was so good I finished it all hahaha Even the aged kimchi here is amazing. ![Assorted sashimi of flatfish, sea bass, spotted flounder, and red seabream](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli-20-14k0i-900.webp) ![Assorted sashimi platter served with aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli-21-pht98-900.webp) It's delicious wrapped up as flatfish-aged-kimchi sushi bites, or wrapped in a perilla leaf with the aged kimchi — either way, great. ![Sashimi wrapped in perilla leaf with aged kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli-22-12who-900.webp) ## The 4 hot courses: abalone porridge, steamed fish, tempura, blue crab stew Right as we were finishing the sashimi, the hot dishes arrived on cue: abalone porridge, steamed fish, shrimp & whole crab tempura, and spicy crab stew. ![Steamed fish and spicy crab stew served as hot dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli-23-1c3as-900.webp) ![Final abalone porridge and shrimp & whole crab tempura](https://img.superchart.com/images/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli/gwangan-dajji-seafood-course-gwangalli-24-17ccu-900.webp) The steamed fish was so tender the flesh came off the bone easily, and the spicy-sweet sauce was the highlight.
