seoul food for people who love to eat
In the spirit of the times, and in answer to Roboseyo’s challenge issued on the Hub of Sparkle, FatManSeoul would like to present our own top ten list . . .
Top Ten Things We Love About 홍어!
1. 홍어회
2. 삼합
3. 홍어탕
4. 홍어튀김
5. 홍어만두
6. 마른 홍어
7. 홍어무침
8. 홍어찜
9. 홍어과자
10. 초코홍어파이
Actually, we’re having trouble stopping there. We kept thinking of other variations . . . skate sandwich, skate frappuchinos, skate cocktails . . . eating skate in a stinky skate restaurant, eating it outdoors on a picknick, eating it lying on a bearskin rug in front of a roaring fire while our significant other tenderly wraps it with steamed pork in a piece of kimchi and hand feeds the bundle to us . . .
Mmmmmmm. 홍어!

Looking at the photo of sliced honguh (skate fish or ray fish) already makes my mouth water! : ) It will go with dipping sauce made with soybean paste, hot pepper paste, garlic, vinegar, and sugar! On any special occasions in Korea, honguh hwe is one of the most popular dishes.

홍어 is one of the few things I don’t like, but have had to down on a variety of occasions.

As with most things, good 홍어 can be amazing, but the mediocre stuff is really . . . well, nasty. You really have to find a place that specializes in it, rather than just serves it alongside other stuff.
