Been there, 'watched' (not 'done') that.
On the beach near the Marriott in Busan while being entertained by a supplier. As someone who doesn't eat seafood of any description I was rather bemused watching him and 5 friends partake in this, while politely refusing the continuous offers to try it.
Even more interesting was watching the woman who was serving in the little shack near the beach remove 2 of them from the tank and proceed to rain down these hefty blows from behind the counter with a rather frightening looking instrument, before returning with a smile on her face and numerous plates of 'moving food'.
Great Trip Report. ^
