Korean seafood options

Korean seafood selection

Ok, I totally 'borrowed' this picture and bit of text from another guy's website. I have similar pictures from a previous trip to Seoul but actually found the names of the seafood I couldn't identify. Maybe they're common in North America, maybe not? I've lived around seafaring communities quite a bit throughout my life and have never seen one or eaten one before, so it's sea food I haven't 'sean' before. ;) So, it's new ghoti to me, er, I mean phish.

borrowed bit starts now:

These are the more interesting bits.Small octopus (낙지) is a popular delicacy here and eaten cooked or raw. If eaten raw, it is eaten whole or sliced up, its tentacles still wriggling as it goes into your mouth. I have tried it several times, and the suction action is interesting to say the least. Talk about your food fighting back!The pinkish worm-like sea slugs are gaebul (개불). The bright red ones are known as monggae (멍개) - they're like seafood with a severe attack of acne. Both of these are usually eaten raw and served in sushi restaurants.

borrowed bit ends here

The ones I attempted to describe, poorly--I might add, are the monggae. The ones smack dab in the middle of the photo.
