Miyoung's Sashimi — Restaurant in Seogwipo-si

Popular restaurant by a port serving mackerel sashimi, grilled mackerel and fish stew.

The sashimi is extremely fresh and is delicious on its own or wrapped in seaweed, rice, white kimchi and spicy greens (which is the recommended way of eating it). The grilled mackerel is fatty and tasty, though the tenderness may depend on season.

Yellowtail sashimi may also be in season in winter. The yellowtail I had tasted really clean and had a slight sweetness. I liked it best with a bit of soy sauce and wasabi as compared to being wrapped in fresh lettuce/ perilla together with other condiments.

This restaurant basically serves one main thing in two sizes - a mackerel sashimi platter. 55,000KRW for a smaller one that feeds 1-2, or a larger one for 77,000KRW that feeds 3-4.

It’s a delicious meal, although it may feel a little like too much of one thing, plus considering the location, price feels a little on the high side. If you drive, which I suppose you have to, given the location, there is free parking right outside. Also, they didn’t seem to speak english at all, but they had a chinese staff who speaks...
