Garak Market


Chris and I have been a little frustrated with our fruit and vegetable intake. This is due partly because the grocery stores near our home have very poor selections and partly because produce is so expensive here. So, we were extremely happy when we found the Garak Agricultural/Fish Market - it's basically a farmer's market on steroids. The market covers a huge area, encompassing nearly 20 buildings. We were more than happy to take a few hours strolling through the stands admiring the food and, of course, people watching. After spending only 12,000₩ (about $10), we have a refrigerator full of fresh fruit and veggies!


We decided to skip the stingray and dried anchovies this visit.




We have more green onions than we know what to do with and would hate to throw any out. Any non-bake green onion recipe suggestions?

Mmmm...green onions, salsa, eggs, atop a bagel w/cream cheese? They are good on toast too.

Can you point out on google maps where the market is? In fact it would be really cool if you could somehow keep a map updated with all the places you visit so we can get some idea of where the pictures on the blog are taken. Google earth as some functionality that might come in handy.

Those stingray look pretty tasty.
