A Delightful Seafood Evening at Home
While contemplating what to eat for dinner on the weekend, I felt a strong desire to enjoy some seafood at home after a long time.
Although dining out is nice, on this particular day, I wanted to choose only the things I craved and enjoy them comfortably at home.
Recently, I had been thinking a lot about shrimp, so I looked into the shrimp at Noryangjin Fish Market and decided to visit Woojeong Fisheries.
Initially, I intended to buy just shrimp, but once I got there, I was also tempted by the sashimi and crab fried rice. So, I ended up taking home a variety of items, including shrimp, assorted sashimi, and crab fried rice.
Woojeong Fisheries brings in all their seafood through daily auctions. Instead of simply selling cheap products, they prioritize selling high-quality A-grade seafood with good yield and condition.
When selecting live shrimp at Noryangjin Fish Market, I didn't want to make my decision based solely on price. I carefully observed the size and movement of the shrimp in-store before selecting the freshest ones to take home.
Since I planned to cook the live shrimp right away at home, I paid extra attention to their freshness.
Woojeong Fisheries emphasizes quality over low prices, making it a great choice for those who value the state and quality of seafood over just finding the cheapest option.
After shopping, I realized I had quite a bit of food. Along with the shrimp, I had also packed assorted sashimi and crab fried rice, and the packaging was notably different from the typical fish market vibe.
Rather than the usual white styrofoam, Woojeong Fisheries uses gold packaging, which looked neat from the moment I received it.
As the saying goes, 'good-looking food tastes good,' I thought this packaging would be suitable not just for home dining but also for sharing with family or bringing to someone else.
When ordering crabs like king crabs or snow crabs, they also provide various sauces such as chili, tartar, and wasabi mayo along with the basic dipping sauce.
For the crab fried rice, I learned that simply adding cheese sauce and heating it in the microwave could turn it into delicious cheesy fried rice.
Since the live shrimp from Noryangjin Fish Market was the main dish that day, I only brought the other items as side dishes.
Upon arriving home, the first thing I took out was the shrimp. Having it packaged allowed me to cook it the way I wanted.
I lightly prepared the shrimp, removing some moisture, then heated a frying pan with a generous amount of butter. As the butter melted, I added the shrimp.
As the gray shrimp turned red from the heat, the buttery aroma filled the air, making it incredibly appetizing right from the start.
I flipped the shrimp to ensure they cooked evenly, and in the end, I drizzled some leftover butter from the pan over them for a finishing touch.
Even without complex seasonings, just the butter enhanced the natural flavor of the shrimp, making it a delightful dish.
As I peeled the shells and enjoyed the shrimp, I felt glad I had chosen to pack shrimp from Noryangjin Fish Market.
After enjoying the butter-grilled shrimp, I decided to use the remaining shrimp for ramen.
I boiled water in a pot and cooked the ramen as usual. When the noodles were almost done, I added the shrimp.
After boiling a bit longer, the flavor from the shrimp naturally infused into the broth, giving it a unique taste compared to the usual ramen I make at home.
Adding several whole shrimp made the dish visually appealing as well.
While eating the noodles, the fun of peeling the shrimp in between bites added to the experience, and I was pleased to have packed enough shrimp to enjoy them in different ways.
During the time I cooked the shrimp, I lightly enjoyed the assorted sashimi and crab fried rice that I had brought along.
However, since I initially came to eat shrimp, those two dishes felt more like side items.
With just the shrimp from Noryangjin Fish Market, I could enjoy a variety of dishes from butter-grilled shrimp to ramen, making it a perfect seafood feast at home.
Woojeong Fisheries accepts Onnuri gift certificates for all menu items, and they also accept livelihood support funds.
The purchasing process was straightforward, and I appreciated their commitment to honest sales without any tricks on the scales.
This time, I chose live shrimp from Noryangjin Fish Market as the main dish and prepared them in two ways: butter-grilled and in ramen.
If you plan to cook at home, I recommend packing plenty of live shrimp from Noryangjin Fish Market to enjoy them in various ways.
Next time I crave shrimp, I want to pack some from Woojeong Fisheries again for butter grilling and perhaps try grilling with salt or steaming them.
