Squid

Posted on 1/6/2010 at 8:48:29 PM

On Christmas Eve, I had a faculty luncheon with the… faculty. We drove out to an island near Incheon airport and had some of the freshest raw fish I’ve ever had. Now, I’m not much of a fan of things that aren’t cooked, although I like sushi every now and then, but this stuff was delicious. One food that I’ve never really liked though is squid, and Koreans love this stuff raw, and at times, completely alive. During our lunch, our server brought us a dish of hacked up squid that was uncooked and still moving on the plate. I decided to record it, and as I was, my coteacher, who loves squid, dug right in. I was pretty impressed. After I turned off the camera, she managed to convince me to try it, and I did. With a little soy sauce, some chili paste, and lots of chewing, it wasn’t that bad, and I can honestly say I like it better than cooked squid.
