The Koreans are big believers of eating the freshest seafood. I know this may not go down well with some of you but they even eat live octopus! Try swallowing an octopus that’s wriggling inside your mouth, its tentacles trying to pry open your jaws and those little suckle thingy sticking to your tongue. Gulp! I find it hard to swallow, not that I would ever try of course….
Then again, I love eating seafood but I baulk at the idea of selecting live animals to be slaughtered for my dining pleasure. Yet I gamely followed our friends to the seafood center in Seoul to check out the huge array of fish and crustacean for sale. This is not an aquarium! The poor creatures you see will end up on someone's dining table....

You take some great photos, and without a doubt that picture of the dried fish standing at attention is one of the best! Love it!
Thanks for your compliments! And I probably have an eye for the quirky...
