Saenggul || Fresh Oysters, 생굴 1

Korea is a seafood lover’s paradise, offering a wide variety of fresh and delicious seafood, including oysters. One of the best things about enjoying oysters in Korea is the affordability. You can savor as many oysters as you like without breaking the bank.

Typically, oysters are served raw, seasoned with a squeeze of lemon juice and dipped in a spicy red chili paste with vinegar or soy sauce. These simple preparations allow the natural sweetness and brininess of the oysters to shine through.

Raw fish restaurants, often called “횟집” (hoetjip), are the best places to enjoy fresh oysters, especially during the winter months when they are at their peak.
