In the back alleys near Dongdaemun, there are a lot of grilled fish and weekday lunch spots that are popular with workers in the city. These are where the jewels are found, but tourists and expats rarely go off the main street to explore them. Don’t be afraid. The smell alone is amazing.
So, I was playing with my “food porn” lens while this nice ajumma showed me how she grilled her fish, and this shot came out. It sort of has the illusion of floating fish. With the light, it’s like God said, “You hungry? Here. Have some fish.”
Here are some more photos of that little trip.
