Comments:
Squid is a everywhere in Korea. Best squid is from Ulung Island on the far eastern tip of Korean Peninsula.
Dried squid (oh jing oe chae) is very popular as a chewy side dish with alcohol and as snack. Beware, dried squid has a pungent pervasive aroma. Foreigners traveling in Korea are often shocked by the sudden smell of squid in trains, theaters and other public places. It is portable, cheap, high-protein and can be addictive once you start!.
