This past weekend I met up with my oldest cousin on my mother's side. She and her family are hilarious. It's one big gigglefest. Anyway, they wanted to take me to the big market for fresh fish and seafood.
We got there around closing time, so most of the produce vendors were shutting down. It was kind of cool to see the stands all lit up in the darkness of the massive building.
I'm guessing since you can't really pack up live fish, the seafood section stays open much longer. My cousin's husband had a good time choosing the fish and bargaining on the price.
Look at all that octopus! We actually ended up getting live octopus again.
Knuckle cracker on the bottom right.
Delicious. If you shook the plate on the left, all the arms would start writhing and pulling themselves out every which way. The maroon plate in the far back was really slick and I kept on dropping them in my lap. I looked like a real chump.
This soup is literally called, "spicy stew". I was sweating like a beast and of course everyone was laughing at me.
Not yet in high school but almost my size.
Fast talker.
Mr. Giggles himself. Besides all the laughing, he's the consummate Korean man.
My cousin. All smiles and peace signs when you're buying fruit at the market!
