I've always liked raw fish, and I tend to chase seasonal fish whenever the seasons change — so autumn gizzard shad was too good to pass up. ![Gizzard shad sashimi table setting at Sintongyeong Gyeongseongdae Branch in Daeyeon-dong](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-02-1wn3h-900.webp) ## Where is Sintongyeong Gyeongseongdae Branch in Daeyeon-dong, Busan? Sintongyeong Gyeongseongdae Branch is a seafood restaurant located on the 1st floor of the Haeun Building on Suyeong-ro 334beon-gil in Nam-gu, Busan. Daeyeon-dong has plenty of restaurants and good spots for a drink, so it's a neighborhood I often end up in for dinner plans. And when I'm craving raw fish, a seafood restaurant is always the first thing that comes to mind. This time, among the many menu items, I ordered the in-season gizzard shad sashimi. Gizzard shad is delicious grilled too, but personally I prefer it raw, since that's when you really get its distinctive nutty flavor. In-season gizzard shad especially seems to have a richer, more concentrated flavor as the flesh fills out, so it really does taste different in autumn. After ordering and waiting a bit, the beautifully prepared gizzard shad sashimi arrived. ## What does autumn gizzard shad sashimi taste like? ![A plate of prepared gizzard shad sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-03-18rvl-900.webp) The gizzard shad sashimi at Sintongyeong Gyeongseongdae Branch looked fresh right away, with a slight shimmer to the flesh. I picked up a piece, dipped it lightly in vinegar-chili sauce, and gave it a try — the texture was great, and that distinctive nutty flavor spread through my mouth. Gizzard shad sashimi has a different charm compared to milder white fish. The nutty flavor builds the more you chew, with a distinctive richness to it — I think it's a dish anyone who likes sashimi should try at least once. Rather than pairing it with a strong sauce, it was nice to dip it lightly in soy sauce or vinegar-chili sauce and really taste the fish itself. ![A piece of gizzard shad sashimi dipped in vinegar-chili sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-04-1omhw-900.webp) It's delicious with garlic or chili added to the leafy greens, and putting a piece of gizzard shad sashimi on a perilla leaf with a bit of sauce gave it a whole different feel. A piece of sashimi followed by a sip of soju — now that's a proper dinner combo! ![Gizzard shad sashimi on a perilla leaf wrap with garlic and chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-05-w1awu-900.webp) ## Gizzard shad and soju: a drinking dish in Daeyeon-dong Gizzard shad sashimi works well as a meal, but personally I felt it especially shines as a drinking snack. When you eat sashimi, you usually start off light and gradually add vinegar-chili sauce or wraps as you go — and since gizzard shad gets nuttier the more you chew, it made for a great pairing with drinks. ![Gizzard shad sashimi enjoyed as a drinking snack with soju](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-06-1nv55-900.webp) That day, time flew by as we chatted over piece after piece of gizzard shad sashimi. In this cooler season, warm food is nice, but eating seasonal sashimi like this felt like a real treat too. ![Seasonal gizzard shad sashimi enjoyed for dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-07-kjxd0-900.webp) Above all, there's a reason people say seasonal food should be eaten in its season. Gizzard shad, too, tasted noticeably better for being eaten right in its time. ## Is Sintongyeong worth it for seasonal gizzard shad in Busan? ![Finishing up a meal of autumn gizzard shad sashimi at a Daeyeon-dong seafood restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad/daeyeon-dong-hoetjip-autumn-gizzard-shad-08-1vudu-900.webp) If you're craving raw fish in Daeyeon-dong or looking for seasonal gizzard shad, I'd recommend the gizzard shad sashimi here.
