Seafood pancakes 🦐 🍃

해물 파전

Today I’m introducing you to my family’s all time favorite dish, haemuljeon, a Korean pancake made with a few different kinds of seafood. It's nice to be able to live in a harbor city on the southern coast of South Korea, because every meal table is abundant with seafood. The traditional open air market is very close so that every morning, we can buy all the fresh ingredients needed for that day.

People come to sell their catch, and some people come to buy fresh ingredients. And then other people can sell food there, like porridge, noodle soup, and rice cakes. Haemuljeon was one of my favorite dishes. My husband would bring fresh seafood home, chop it up, and mix it with green onion or buchu (chives) in a flour based batter and cook it on a hot skillet.
