You could choose from mini, small, or medium sizes, which made it easy to order according to the number of people and how much you wanted. ## Salt-grilled king prawns, small 400g, 30,000 won The small grilled salt shrimp (400g) is ₩30,000. They came out fresh, still flipping around. Seeing the live shrimp made me feel a little bad, but... my mouth was watering too 😂 ![Grilled salt shrimp cooked on a bed of salt](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-14-14iku-719.webp) The delicious grilled salt shrimp was ready 🤤 The shrimp were plump and fresh, so sweet. ## Mini red seabream sashimi, 35,000 won, cut maskkawa style with the skin on The mini red seabream sashimi is ₩35,000. I thought ordering the mini size would mean a small portion, but it was surprisingly generous — great value. ![A plate of mini red seabream sashimi served maskkawa style](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-15-1y31j-900.webp) I especially love eating red seabream maskkawa style (skin-on), and it came that way by default — such a nice touch. With delicious grilled salt shrimp and red seabream sashimi, you obviously need some soju too 😆 ![Basic side dish of pollack roe with accompaniments](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-16-avp49-900.webp) ## Free side dishes and the self-serve kimchi pancake bar The basic side dishes at Veteran General Fish Market Bucheon Songnae Branch include pollack roe, corn cheese, seaweed soup, and seasoned raw fish. There's also a spot in the vegetable self-bar corner where you can make your own kimchi jeon (kimchi pancake). The pollack roe that comes as a basic side dish, combined with minced garlic chili and sesame oil, is seriously so good 🤤 ![Side dish spread with corn cheese, seaweed soup, and seasoned raw fish](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-17-jymd6-900.webp) The corn cheese, seaweed soup, and seasoned raw fish were all great quality. Sometimes seaweed soup at raw fish restaurants can taste fishy so I don't usually go for it, but here I even went back for seconds 🤤 And at Veteran Songnae Branch, there's a spot in the vegetable self-bar corner where you make your own kimchi jeon! You get to pan-fry it your own way and show off your skills, which made it fun 😂 ![Self-made kimchi jeon corner at the vegetable self-bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-18-2xj0s-900.webp) ![Kimchi jeon batter being hand-fried](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-19-oiaej-900.webp) Even if you pan-fry it carelessly, the kimchi jeon batter turns out delicious, so it's perfect as a drinking snack! My partner and I each made a pancake — can you guess which one is mine? 〰️👀 ![Two finished pieces of self-made kimchi jeon](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-20-ygwmt-900.webp) A heart made out of the delicious shrimp 🧡 ![Shrimp arranged into a heart shape](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-21-1ouh8-608.webp) ## Don't skip the butter-grilled prawn heads The shrimp heads can be gathered up separately and butter-grilled. ![Shrimp heads grilled golden in butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-22-l02n4-658.webp) The butter-grilled shrimp, cooked golden in butter, was savory and crispy — the best. It's a delicacy you have to try at the end after eating the shrimp 🤤 Busy pulling off the shrimp head horns 😂 Pop it out and eat it in one bite — that savory, crispy taste, you know it? ![A big pot of generously portioned spicy fish stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-23-1b6lh-900.webp) ## Finishing with spicy fish stew, 8,000 won The spicy fish stew is ₩8,000 and came out in a big, generous pot. It was great that you could add as much instant noodles as you wanted from the self-bar too. ![Spicy fish stew simmering with plenty of fish bone](https://img.superchart.com/images/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp/beteran-fish-market-bucheon-songnae-shrimp-24-xrpis-900.webp) Honestly, the fish stew at raw fish restaurants is often a letdown, but this place was a fish stew standout 🤤 There was plenty of fish bone in it, so the longer it simmered, the richer the broth got — the soju really kept flowing! I got to enjoy sashimi, shrimp, and fish stew all in one satisfying meal! ## Is Veteran General Fish Market worth a trip to Songnae Station? After visiting Veteran General Fish Market Bucheon Songnae Branch myself, I understood why it's so popular in the neighborhood. The freshness of everything, from the sashimi to the seafood, was really good, and even the mini-size red seabream impressed me with its maskkawa presentation and quality. I also loved being able to enjoy the seasonal grilled salt shrimp, the butter-grilled shrimp, and the fish stew all together. It's a great place to visit when you want to enjoy fresh sashimi generously at a reasonable price, and I'd definitely want to come back.
