Perfect for enjoying seafood and soju under the cool breeze at this Namdong outdoor-tent raw fish restaurant, Veteran General Fish Market!🐟

In front of the shop there were clean, well-kept fish tanks so you could check freshness with your own eyes. This Namdong sashimi restaurant, Veteran General Fish Market, prepares fresh fish the moment you order!

Parking, seating, and is it good for group gatherings?

You can park in the underground lot, and if it's full, use the public parking lot!🚘 (Weekday lunch 12–2pm, after 6:30pm, and all day on holidays you can also park around the area or along both main streets)

The place was so full I couldn't photograph the whole interior, but the seating went back quite far and was very spacious!🥹

With wide table spacing and plenty of seats, it's more than fit for group gatherings or company dinners in Guwol-dong, and there was even a private space.

Naver Reservations and phone reservations are both available! I'd recommend this Guwol-dong raw fish restaurant for a date or a family meal too.

Self-serve bar and DIY kimchi pancake station

The self-serve bar offered free fresh lettuce wraps and side dishes, plus ramen noodles great for adding to the spicy fish stew! Hair ties and blankets were also on hand.

There was a self-serve kimchi pancake station where you could fry your own kimchijeon (kimchi pancake) — crisped up nicely, it's a real delicacy and a fantastic drinking snack! ❤

If you take part in the Naver review event, you can choose one of: a canned drink, two fried king shrimp, or sushi rice as a free extra~!

There's also a 5% discount coupon for takeout sashimi and various other coupons available, so keep that in mind!

Basic side dishes and grilled saury

Hot seaweed soup, salad, and white kimchi, plus raw fish salad! The basic side dishes were clean and hearty.

Nicely grilled saury also came out — crispy outside, moist inside! It was nutty and delicious.

With the raw shrimp sashimi and live fish half-and-half menu you can pick the sashimi options to your taste — and I loved that the half-and-half format let me enjoy two flavors at once.😊

Raw shrimp sashimi and gizzard shad seogosi, half-and-half

Finally the main dish arrived — fresh raw shrimp sashimi and gizzard shad seogosi, and the visuals alone were a perfect score!💯

The glossy raw shrimp came pre-peeled, so you could easily enjoy the sweet, springy texture. 🦐

The more you chewed, the more that sweet, fresh flavor spread through your mouth — definitely a certified spot for raw shrimp in Guwol-dong‼️

Raw shrimp with white kimchi is the best combo! The refreshing tang of the white kimchi and the sweet umami of the shrimp blended so well you couldn't stop eating!

Wrap white kimchi and raw shrimp in a fragrant perilla leaf and it's a golden combo! Also the best drinking snack ever^0^

It's delicious dipped in chojang (vinegared red pepper paste) too, but dip it in the buldak mayo sauce and the umami explodes! Since the shrimp itself was so fresh, the springy sweetness came through even with the sauce, not lost at all.

This year's first in-season gizzard shad seogosi

It was our first gizzard shad of the year, and it was a huge success! Being properly in-season, there wasn't a hint of fishiness and it was so tasty.

The more you chewed the gizzard shad seogosi, the more the oily, nutty flavor spread! 🤤

The usually tough bones typical of seogosi were barely noticeable — it was so soft and I was fully satisfied! A great texture for anyone new to trying seogosi!

Pile the gizzard shad onto perilla leaves and white kimchi and it's amazing — a combo you just keep eating.💚

Pile onion and gizzard shad onto seaweed and it's the best combo, maximizing the fish's nuttiness!

Not just the raw shrimp — dip the gizzard shad seogosi in the buldak mayo sauce too, and the spicy mayo blends with the fish's savory oiliness for maximum addictiveness! ❤

Fried shrimp heads

Fried shrimp heads were also served — crispy and nutty, so delicious. 🍤

Dip them generously in the chili sauce and buldak mayo sauce and it's an addictive flavor that just clings to your mouth!

Finishing off with ₩10,000 seodari spicy fish stew

📌Seodari spicy fish stew, ₩10,000. Seafood without a spicy fish stew afterward just isn't complete! The visuals alone promised it would be good!

The longer it bubbled, the deeper the seafood umami got — perfect as a drinking snack or as a way to finish the meal! ❤

Despite the name seodari-tang (fish bone stew), it wasn't just bones — there was thick meat attached too, so it was fun picking it apart. The spicy, refreshing broth had really soaked into the fish flesh and we enjoyed it fully.

Finishing with the chewy dumpling soup dough and ramen noodles was perfect~!🍜 Even full, we kept eating this delicacy!
