Monday in Korea means it’s time to risk our lives once again… this time, blowfish! Actually, not life threatening in the least. One of our co-workers, a summer intern from the university, Ms. Liz, totally had an “in”. Her uncle, just happened to own a blowfish restaurant… no big deal right? Seriously!!! What are the chances? We had quite the amazing meal! Under the recommendations of her uncle, we ordered the set, which included some raw skin and slices of the blowfish, then on to some slightly larger chunks in a sauce I can’t quite remember at the moment, then on to my favorite- blowfish bulgogi!!! SOOOOO ONO!!! It was tender chunks of blowfish in a tangy, garlic-esq reduction- which was good enough to be eaten alone with a spoon… as proven by Mr. Trevor ☺. The fish itself reminded me initially of catfish, but proved itself to be much more delicious in its own unique way. Then after the bulgogi, we had it deep fried, tempura style, which was also to die for, and a very very close second on my list! We finished the meal off with a lighter blowfish soup, and then… as is tradition (at least my tradition), we took pictures with our group and hosts! Did I forget to mention we got to hold some real blowfish (not alive) after dinner as well??? Because we did!
After dinner we headed back, on the Daegu subway (our first time ever, can you believe it???), got back to the gate, realized we were jones-ing for some red bean ice cream, had to wander off to satisfy the craving, ended up getting something else instead, and explored the 1000 wan store… then got locked out of our intended gate, had to catch a taxi to the other one, and finally, turned in for the night, happy, satisfied, and just a little dizzy… I’m gonna blame that part on the blowfish- why not right?
