Songpa seafood restaurant for gizzard shad with salmon: Yeongjae Susan

With the cool breeze blowing lately, it finally feels like the season when the sky is high and horses grow fat! Autumn is on its way. There are so many delicious seasonal foods, from crisp apples and pears to plump prawns, but I simply cannot pass up gizzard shad sashimi, with its wonderfully nutty flavor. 🤩

I wondered where I could enjoy fresh, generous gizzard shad sashimi, then picked up a hearty takeaway from Yeongjae Susan, a Garak Market favorite filled with fresh live-fish sashimi. 😊

Yeongjae Susan’s first-floor Garak Mall location and seafood

The moment I arrived on the first floor, I could feel Garak Market’s uniquely lively atmosphere, and it felt like I was getting a full recharge of happy energy too! ☺️

Yeongjae Susan is on the right directly in front of the escalator as soon as you reach the first floor, so you can find it at once without wandering around! The entrance was filled with seafood and sashimi ingredients that looked incredibly fresh.

The shrimp looked fresh too, so I will have to come back for another round before the season ends!

Ordering the small Jeon-gwang-cham sashimi platter with added salmon

Looking over the menu, there was such a wide range: assorted sashimi platters with popular large halibut and sea bream, as well as gizzard shad, large sea bass, croaker, and striped jack; plus individual sashimi orders such as bluefin tuna and gizzard shad.

This time, I ordered the small Jeon-gwang-cham sashimi platter (₩65,000), which includes gizzard shad, large halibut, and red sea bream, then added salmon separately because my child loves it! After a short wait, they packed it heavily into this neat, sturdy Yeongjae Susan insulated bag.

Jeon-gwang-cham sashimi, salmon, and complimentary spicy fish stew ingredients

Here is the full spread once I got home and unpacked everything!

From the basics to the complimentary extras, it was generous through and through: chojang (sweet-tangy red chili dipping sauce), ssamjang (savory soybean-chili paste), wasabi, and spicy fish stew ingredients. Let me show you the main sashimi first. 🤩

It looked so fresh and glossy that it made my mouth water just looking at it. 🤤 There was a generous pile of gizzard shad, sea bream, halibut, and salmon.

The gizzard shad sashimi, rich with oil at the height of its autumn season, filled my mouth with nuttiness from the very first bite. The texture of the bones was not bothersome at all, and it was so fresh that I kept reaching for more—it had that irresistible flavor! 🤩

The halibut and sea bream must have been freshly caught too, because there was not a trace of fishiness—just pure freshness. Their springy texture and the sweetness that came through as I chewed were perfect. 🤤

They included spicy fish stew ingredients as a complimentary extra, and it was generous not only with fish bones but also with bean sprouts and fresh shellfish.

I added plenty of bean sprouts to the complimentary spicy fish stew ingredients, simmered it into a nicely spicy stew, and had a taste. The broth was so warming and refreshing that, as I ate it, I started craving sashimi again; then I went back to the stew, and honestly, I just could not stop! For dessert—well, not really dessert—I even added ramen noodles to the stew, which made it a perfect meal right through to the end.

If you are craving fresh, generous seasonal sashimi this weekend, I recommend Yeongjae Susan, a Garak Market favorite for gizzard shad sashimi. 😊
