Garak Market sashimi shop, shad in perilla & salmon: Yeongjae Susan

What is Yeongjae Susan in Garak Market like?

Yeongjae Susan is a raw fish takeout shop on the first floor of the Panmae-dong building at Garak Mall, unit C-10, known as the number one shop in Garak Mall. It is said to have won an award in the delivery food category of the Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation for restaurants, and with live fish arriving 3 or more times a day, it is a takeout specialist famous for freshness.

When you want a fresh mixed platter, from nutty seasonal autumn shad to flounder, Korea's everyday sashimi fish, and rich salmon, there is one place I head to first.

Today I went to Yeongjae Susan inside Garak Mall's fish market, which is famous by word of mouth for overwhelming freshness and generous portions!

Yeongjae Susan connects directly to Garak Market Station, so it is very easy to reach. Among people who want takeout sashimi or a Garak Mall seasoning-table restaurant, it is a top pick for a Garak Market raw fish restaurant and fish market.

Why the sashimi is fresh: live fish arrives 3+ times a day

Yeongjae Susan is a proven takeout specialist that reportedly won consecutive excellence awards from the Korea Consumer Industry Evaluation in the restaurant and delivery food sashimi categories. Orders are huge, so live fish is said to arrive fresh 3 or more times a day.

Turnover is so fast that no fish sits around, and you always get the freshest, springiest live sashimi. That is Yeongjae Susan's biggest strength. Maybe that's why the crowds were packed right in front of the shop! If you get lost in Garak Mall, just look for where the people are :D That's Yeongjae Susan!

How were the portion and taste of the small shad + flounder + salmon set?

What I ordered at Yeongjae Susan this day was the small shad + flounder + salmon set, a combo of seasonal fish and best-selling favorites!

Even though it was the small size, thick-cut slices were packed tightly so the plate never looked empty, and I could feel Yeongjae Susan's special generosity.

Seasonal shad: wrapped in perilla leaf with garlic and makjang

Shad in autumn is said to be so good it brings a runaway daughter-in-law back home, and it was nutty and crunchy with no small bones to bother me as I chewed! I wrapped it in a perilla leaf with a little garlic and makjang (seasoned soybean paste), and the sharp, nutty flavor burst in my mouth, with the deep taste you'd expect from a Garak Market shad place.

Springy flounder: light with wasabi soy sauce

The flounder at Yeongjae Susan was cut moderately thick, so the chew was properly alive. A light dip in wasabi soy sauce brought out the flounder's sweet, clean savoriness nicely.

Rich salmon: an instant favorite

Eeek, this is my favorite sashimi! The glossy salmon melted softly the moment it went into my mouth.

The nutty flavor of the salmon fat spread gently, and it instantly became my favorite in the Yeongjae Susan set T_T♡

Takeout or eat in Garak Mall? And parking?

You can take Yeongjae Susan's sashimi home and enjoy it comfortably, or buy the seafood and move to a seasoning restaurant inside Garak Mall to eat there. The setup works perfectly either way.

If you come by car, park in the Garak Mall South Gate 1 car park, basement 3, near pillar E09, then take the escalator up to the 1st floor and you'll find Yeongjae Susan right away. They even registered 3 hours of free parking for me, so I could relax.
