Barbecued Fish in Hongdae

This little gem of a restaurant is one that I absolutely cannot leave out. I don't know the name of this restaurant in Korean - I'll try to find out - but among my friends it is simply called "The Fish Place." Located right outside Honggik University Station, it is very easy to find.

The restaurant offers two different types of fish barbecued on a charcoal grill right outside the establishment. The first fish on the menu is a bigger, drier fish with a more mild flavor, and the second fish on the menu is smaller, fattier and also more flavorful. In addition to typical Korean side dishes, each order comes with soup, wasabi to dip the fish in, rice and lettuce. (Their kimchi is always sour, perfect for cutting the fish flavor.) If you're lucky, some icy cinnamon tea will be available in the back of the restaurant for those who know to serve themselves!

I should add that the restaurant also serves some delectable donkatsu or pork cutlet.

Directions:

Take Exit 8 from Honggik University Station. Walk straight ahead, past the Lotte Cinema on the right, and turn right after the nearest Family Mart. It is next door to the Spanish tapas restaurant.
