Yellowtail had gone on sale in Busan, so at about 6:30 on a Friday evening a friend and I went to Uri Pocha’s main branch. It is still early in the season, but this is the best-known yellowtail place. I came in July for other dishes.

The line gets long in peak season, but we sat right away this time. Even so, the place filled up the moment we sat down.

When you order yellowtail, side dishes are laid out and grilled fish comes too. That day it was herring. It has many small bones, but they are not tough, so it was decent.

This place unusually cuts the yellowtail into long pieces. It had a fair amount of fat and was decent, and I could see why it is famous.

It should be tastier in late November or December, when the fish has more fat.
