Saengseon Gumneun Maeul 생선굽는마을

Below Simhaksan in Paju, this fish house cooks over charcoal rather than frying in oil. On holidays people write their names on the waiting sheet before the doors open, and inside it is loud and canteen-like. Grilled mackerel comes plump and salty, and the mackerel braised with kimchi has no fishy edge. The squid stir-fry has nearly as many fans as the fish, its smoky sauce made for mixing into rice.
