The real specialty here is the free kimchi pancake station, where you cook the pancakes yourself! It was even tastier and more fun because I made it myself. ❤

• Flounder + rockfish + salmon (small) ₩42,000
• Spicy fish-bone stew ₩8,000

The side dishes were laid out so generously~! From savory corn cheese to warm seaweed soup, seasoned raw fish, quail eggs, and more—so many delicious banchan (Korean side dishes)!

Flounder + rockfish + salmon (small), ₩42,000. I loved being able to enjoy my favorite fresh flounder, rockfish, and salmon all at once, and even the small size was generously portioned. 🥹

Since the fish is caught from the tank and sliced as soon as you order, I could tell just by looking at it that it had the perfect chewiness and sheen.

How to enjoy salmon and flounder

A gleaming orange slice of salmon sashimi, with its grain still intact! It was cut thick, so the more I chewed, the more its distinctive nutty flavor and richness filled my mouth ><

Dip it in tartar sauce and the nuttiness doubles! Salmon on white kimchi was absolutely delicious too~!

Perilla leaf + white kimchi + salmon = the best combination! It was so fresh with absolutely no fishiness, and it melted right in my mouth. 🤤

The flounder had a clear, pearly color, and just looking at it, I could feel that fresh chewiness‼️

The flesh was plump and springy, with an incredible chewy texture. Personally, the flounder sashimi was the best that day!! ⭐

Delicious dipped in soy sauce or chojang (sweet-and-tangy chili sauce)~! The sashimi itself was so fresh and lively that every sauce tasted amazing with it~!

Put a slice of flounder on a perilla leaf, add radish sprouts and ssamjang (savory soybean paste), and wrap it up—it is a combination you could eat endlessly! I could taste the flounder’s naturally mild sweetness.

The rockfish was fresh too, with no fishiness at all, and simply melted in my mouth! Sashimi is love.. 🤍 Perfect with drinks too!

Spicy fish-bone stew and unlimited ramen noodles

Spicy fish-bone stew, ₩8,000. If you order sashimi, you can enjoy this great-value spicy stew for just ₩8,000.

It was generously filled with tofu, enoki mushrooms, perilla leaves, bean sprouts, and more. Usually, spicy fish stew needs to simmer for a long time to develop depth, but this tasted spicy and deeply flavorful from the start. 🤤

There was plenty of meat on the fish bones, so picking it off was such a treat~! A spicy stew that works as both a hangover cure and drinking snack!

At Veteran General Fish Market Bucheon Songnae Branch, ramen noodles are unlimited and free! 🍜 Chewy ramen noodles in that rich, spicy fish-stew broth were the best, seriously,,
