Guwol-dong seafood restaurant with salt-grilled shrimp: Veteran Fish

Veteran General Fish Market Incheon City Hall Branch: a seafood restaurant near Incheon City Hall

I was craving seafood, so this time I went to Veteran General Fish Market near Incheon City Hall. I usually like sashimi and seafood in general, and after browsing the menu for a while, I ended up ordering salt-grilled shrimp. On days when I'm in the mood for shrimp, warm grilled shrimp is always the first thing that comes to mind.

How is the salt-grilled shrimp? Springy bite, natural sweetness

What I ordered that day was salt-grilled shrimp! Shrimp really is best eaten warm, fresh off the grill. Since it's salt-grilled, there wasn't an overpowering seasoning taste — the shrimp's own flavor came through nicely, and when I peeled the shell and took a bite, I could feel that springy texture right away.

The shrimp's characteristic sweetness came through clearly too, and since it arrived warm off the grill, there was a real pleasure in just peeling and eating them one by one. I think this is an easy dish to order for anyone who likes shrimp.

With shrimp, it always seems like there isn't much at first, but once you start peeling and eating one by one, your hand just keeps reaching for more, right? That day too, while chatting, we peeled them one at a time and before we knew it, the plate was empty.

Salt-grilled is a dish eaten without any strong seasoning, so it should suit anyone who likes the shrimp's own natural flavor. Personally, I prefer tasting the ingredient itself rather than overly strong seasoning when it comes to seafood, so I was satisfied.

When is Veteran Fish Market worth a visit?

It felt like a good spot to visit near Incheon City Hall whenever sashimi or seafood comes to mind, and also good for ordering several dishes to share with others.
