A Delightful Seafood Experience at Seonchang Fisheries
This year, I heard from a friend that the first autumn fish, the mackerel, and grilled shrimp have begun to be served.
I immediately turned my car around and headed straight there.
Seonchang Fisheries in Hyangnam, Hwaseong, is known for having the freshest seasonal ingredients, so when I get such notifications, I know I have to go right away to truly enjoy the seasonal flavors.
Let me introduce the delightful story of enjoying mackerel and seafood with my family!
Upon arriving at Seonchang Fisheries, I was impressed by its size.
It's a place where you can enjoy both takeout and dine-in, and it truly is the largest in Hyangnam.
The spacious parking lot made it stress-free to park my car.
As I entered, the well-maintained aquariums caught my eye.
I was told it’s a great place for snow crab and king crab, so I thought I’d have to try that on my next visit.
This reflects how much Seonchang Fisheries cares about cleanliness.
Before sitting down, I checked out the self-service bar, which was well-stocked with necessary side dishes and sauces.
I was particularly impressed by the separate cucumber cold soup corner. Grabbing a bowl of the refreshing soup already lifted my spirits.
The basic side dishes were served, and I learned that the selection changes each time I visit.
Instead of fixed side dishes, they offer a variety of 6 to 7 different items, adding new excitement every time.
This attention to detail is likely why I keep returning to Seonchang Fisheries.
Finally, the main dish, mackerel sashimi, arrived. Its plumpness and freshness were immediately evident.
I first tried it in the style of sashimi, enjoying the nutty flavor and crunchy texture of the bones.
I also ordered it in fillet form for comparison, and the soft texture offered a different charm.
Eating it plain, it was not fishy at all but rather rich and savory.
Dipping it in spicy sauce and wrapping it up brought out the sweet and sour flavors, perfectly complementing the oily richness of the mackerel.
This combination made it hard to stop eating.
Next, I tried a small dip in spicy sauce, which enhanced the natural nuttiness of the mackerel.
I wrapped a big piece with perilla leaves and garlic, and the pungent garlic aroma blended beautifully with the umami of the mackerel, making me crave the next bite.
After filling up on mackerel sashimi, I moved on to grilled mackerel.
The grilled mackerel looked perfectly cooked, raising my expectations.
Despite having small bones, it was moist and delicious enough to chew on.
This texture seems to be why so many people enjoy grilled mackerel.
After finishing the grilled mackerel, a pot of grilled shrimp arrived at my table.
Just looking at the pot filled with shrimp heightened my anticipation.
The beautifully grilled shrimp looked appetizing, with the shells perfectly cooked.
Having enjoyed grilled shrimp here last year, I ordered without hesitation.
Takeout is also available, making it an even better value at home.
I also ordered butter-grilled shrimp, and even the visual made it seem aromatic and delicious.
The strong butter aroma kept me reaching for more.
After filling up, I decided to finish with a refreshing squid water dish.
The vibrant colors of the dish were visually pleasing.
Upon closer inspection, the bowl was filled with squid and various seafood, making for a hearty meal.
A spoonful of the broth was sweet and tangy, providing a refreshing finish.
Now I understand why Seonchang Fisheries is renowned for its water dishes.
I eagerly await the next seasonal menu!
