Georgeann Dawes Sounds like you grew up never watching PBS, Animal Planet or Wild Boys. It’s ok, not everyone have access to cable growing up, but PBS and the library is free.
I’m British and have never even seen most of these! I loved watching it all being prepared with care and I’m sure it tasted delicious…one day I would like to try Korean street food for sure.
As a westerner, this is shocking for me, but I admire it. This is another culture, something I’m not used to. The fact that I might not like it does not mean it is disgusting, this might, in fact, taste amazing. I don’t see the unsanitary anywhere, this is completely cleaned. Oh my fellow americans, you should see how unsanitary our restaurants are XD. Live and let live. respect other cultures and traditions. I personally think that eating "everything" is better than eating just a few things, think about it? They have bigger menus and options. Awesome!
Kamila Muza Totally agree with you! Some of them do make people feel disgusting but this is not the reason that some people show no respect to other culture.
That's what I'm thinking right know ! I mean aside the fact that I'm vegetarian, and if I don't know what it is I can eat anything as long as it taste good
I love meongge (멍게 ) _ if yoi guys haven't try it... You must try this... It's tasty and healthy. Especially durinh winter when i was living in Korea, i always bought it in the market. It restores your energy and keeping you healthy during the winter season... I miss Korea even more now. Wish i could comeback later...
List of preparation: Sea pineapple: sweet, soft and slightly crunchy Sea cucumber: light sweet, crunchy, it tastes like bar soap to me Spoon Worms or Echiura: haven’t tried it before, not intended to. Abalone: crunchy light sweet (my favorites, cooked or raw still delicious🤗)
This literally looks like the slop an alien would eat on some intergalactic space station... Like "Eh Bardu ba! Get me a number 7, ExTrA slimey this time. Just the way I like it." Like lol what the hell
As I am a Korean raised near the port city Pohang, they are all used to me. They are tasty more than their looking. I understand you could have shocked watching this video but if there are someone brave enough, try them you are in Korea. For many Koreans, eating fresh seafood is part of their lives. Eating local food may be one of the best ways of understanding local culture so trying them may help you to understand Korean culture. Have a nice day.
Hi! Thank you for the info. I was wondering if you could help me know the names of the animals here… I am mostly intrigued in the purple worm-like one. I appreciate!
(30 y/o white American) I don't think a lot of people even know what sashimi is. It is meant to be served raw and the fresher the better! From what I just saw my mouth is watering! This gentleman cleans everything off so I don't know what people are freaking out about. True, Americans are more used to fully cooked food but, THATS THE POINT OF SASHIMI! Hell if I could get a spread like this for $44 i'd be eating this every weekend. And ignore the hate comments guys, just cause people have never tried it they might think it looks weird, but so what? Their loss. Not all Americans are 300 lb KFC binge eaters and not all Koreans only eat raw seafood. Could easily rip on both sides in the comments, but not worth my time :D
Actually, to add to your comment, not all raw fish is eaten fresh. Most Japanese style raw fish, or sashimi, is aged for various lengths of time. Koreans prefer really raw fish, just cut up and consumed right after, but even in Korea, there are a lot of Japanese style restaurants that will served aged fish, especially tuna.
There’s so many seafood i haven’t seen 😅 The gray seafood thing really look strange to me . But have to admit I really curious what’s abalone taste like .. I heard it really delicious 🤤
The yellow one is called "Mung Gae", sea squirt. It lives in shallow sea, sticking to rock, seaweed, shell. It taste sour and little bit sweet. I don't like the texture even though I am Korean. Second sea food is called "Hae Sam", sea cucumber. The name means ocean ginseng. I don't like the texture and taste. Third one is called "Gae Bull", penis fish. I agree that it looks so weird. But, it has a lot of nutrition such as protein and vitamin. The last one is called "Jeon Bok", abalones. Abalones feed on mineral-rich seaweeds such as sea mustard and kelp. Thus, the abalone is believed to embody 'the vitality of the ocean'. Abalone is a popular health food, rich in proteins and vitamins as well as minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. Not all korean enjoy those sea foods on the video. I rather recommend raw fish than sea foods on the video.
I honestly like the idea of knowing my food would be fresh 😂 instead of already having an expiration date lol I don’t look down on other cultures and the foods they eat or else I wouldn’t be here at almost 1 AM looking up all these weird unique foods people actually consume. This just reminds me that when I think I know it all I know absolutely nothing when it comes to cooking. There are still so many things I have yet to see and all this looks crazy interesting to me 😂
I don't know if someone already answered this but if you're wondering what the heck is being cut, in order of appearance, 1. Sea pineapple, 2. Sea cucumber, 3. Spoon worm, 4. Abalone. Those are the 4 you usually find when ordering hweh aka Korean sashimi. For us Asians, if it's in the ocean and it won't kill you (though there are exceptions shout out to fugu) we will eat it :D
Thank you! I am from a place where there isn’t an ocean (landlocked) part of the United States. It seems so exotic and expensive! The preparation is actually less bloody and gutsy than when I clean a rainbow trout.
@@jhoannaacasio1750 i definitely agree! I was about to go on goggle and probably spend an hour trying to find these rarities which look delicious in my opinion. I needs to take a flight asap to Asia!!! 🤤
this is korean cuisine please respect it even if you think its gross or disgusting😔😔 its not nice for foreigners to call your own country's cuisine "disgusting" or "dirty" right? if you dont like it please dont comment or even continue watching.. i just read a korean comment and they are very upset at the english comments.. 한국분들이 정말 죄송합니다😔😔
chickyjun I totally understand!! filipinos sometimes have exotic foods too haha but honestly I think some comments (at least the ones I’m seeing) are mostly talking abt how unsanitary this looks. Like, rinsing the fresh seafood w room temp water is not enough for it to be served. And also the amount of parasites seen in the video is most likely the main rsn as to why ppl are saying it looks bad. I apologize on behalf of those who came off as rude and disrespectful!
Wow I'm so glad I'll never have to be rude and not want to eat... I have such a weak stomach just seeing it squirm right before it's eaten freaks me out so bad!!! Even just the smell would probably bother me but it is cool to watch and learn about other areas of our beautiful and diverse world ≤3
I'm Korean. Please excuse my poor English. I don't like that raw seafood. But I don't blame people who like it. Obviously, there may be parasite worries, but they're not as dangerous as you think. Anyway, it's a luxury food, not something you can eat anywhere in Korea. You must go near the beach to eat fresh raw fish.
Am from Jamaica 🇯🇲 and I must say this grabbed my attention the moment my eyes 👀 say the thumbnail, I’ve always been interested in other cultures and stuff so this is quite entertaining and satisfying
This is Korean cultural seafood dishes prepared to appease to the people. Korea eats more seafood than nearly anyone on the planet! Salmon may be good but abalone is better and healthier. Yes, the techniques may seem odd but that's how they cook it. Want to eat beef, pork, or chicken. Have a look at the slaughterhouses. They're bad too, actually worse. Everyone kills and cooks the food they eat whatever way each country prepares them so. Tbh, Koreans normally don't cook seafood to keep the flavor as fresh as possible. However, if y'all thought this was weird, you haven't seen how they prepare skate. Smells like hell but tastes like heaven.
I dunno why, but based on the food process, I prefer to Korea than China. I mean, they don't eat any extreme foods like dog, frog, bat, and others. Except octopus and eel.
I am amazed at this. Looked very cool and the finish plate was very pretty. Now I read a lot of comments, not all Americans are disrespectful, and the offended people are saying “that is why I don’t like Americans”, which many here are admiring this and being respectful... there are idiots in every country.
This is really amazing! Even if you don't enjoy eating seafood you have to recognize the amazing level of details, care and even artistic sense and other skills needed for making each step of this food. I want to try it some day! Greetings from Brazil.
... They literally just cut up a bunch of living sea slugs and threw them on a plate... Like thats literally it... No cooking, no spices, just raw slugs on a plate. It's not that amazing.
It look interesting food to try But the gloves Sashimi is good and taste perfect...confident to eat when the raw food is well dried and you dont see water there...
Abdulla Jabr not that it tastes bad, but what is this creature and why do we need to it? it has parasites and microscopic stuff that we don’t know about... so why to risk it and eat such things?
Eu, particularmente acho lindo de se ver. É curioso o que preparam em suas culinárias. Verdadeiramente uma obra de arte! Tudo isso é de mto valor. Parabéns!👏👏👏
Id be staring at my plate like a dude about to run the gauntlet... all the while thinkin "this aint like the Asian food joints back home in the states" lol
To you people unaware of certain foods that you are served from Asian restaurants, maybe ask to see if the item you’re eating is a vegetable or one of these…😂
Me watching these videos in the middle of the night, knowing that I'll never eat these because I hate sea food, but still finding it nightmarish interesting
I've had sea cucumber at my local sushi bar and it was amazingly delicious. I've also had live abalone and thought that I would really enjoy it but it's a bit too strong for my liking. By the way I was stationed in Pohong in the early eighties.
Most foreigners did not respect the culture of our country. Korean seafood is really fresh and delicious. Cleaning seafood may be dirty. Is it not even when you are slaughtering? If you go to Korea, be sure to try seafood. It will be really delicious. It is a taste that can not escape once you eat.
I would love to try every single seafood you have. In Spain we also eat some “not very beatiful” seafood, but they are delicious and also really expensive, so i am sure your country can offer such a marvelous tastes.
I think Fresh seafood is good and healthy, how it's supposed to look it just a matter of cultural differenses, as a paralell example, where i live there are hundreds of edible musroom species, but people only use less then ten, beacuse those are what people here are used to recognise, they actually do miss a lot.
I hail fae Bonny Scotland 🏴 and I have never seen any of this seafood before, I love Mussels, Clapydoo’s, whelks, crab, prawns, shrimp and Lobster. I have still to try oysters - the aphrodisiac. If I ever get a chance to visit Asia I’m going to try everything first before I can say yay or nay to these dishes. Xxx 🤘❤️💋
