Striped jack sashimi at Dongnae Gimssi: good fish, slow to arrive

It was a Saturday and I wanted striped jack. I called a friend who was getting off work, and at about 6:45 in the evening we went to Dongnae Gimssi together. It is an izakaya near Dongnae Station.

For striped jack I usually go to Kalmat Hoetjip near Pusan National University. But getting in there takes a long wait and it closes early, which can be a burden. On a day when that place is hard to get into, I think of this one as an alternative for striped jack, and I plan to go again.

We ordered the seasonal striped jack sashimi as a single dish, not a set, for 70,000 won.

I was fairly happy with the quality of the fish. We did wait a long time between ordering and getting the plate, though. The only side dish was some peanuts, so there was almost nothing to eat with it. I tried to allow for it being an izakaya and not a raw fish restaurant, but so few side dishes was a letdown.

The two of us drank two bottles of soju.
