Oyster pancakes (Gul Jeon in Korean)

Oyster pancakes on the magazine

Apparently, oysters taste best and have the most nutrition in the winter season (From November to early March) in Korea. I bought 2 packs of oysters (total 400 g) for the price of one the other day and we enjoyed it a lot. They are usually about 2500 won (US $2.60) for 200g pack. Oysters are often referred to as “the milk of the sea“, because they contain lots of calcium. They are also very popular as a stamina food for Korean guys. ;)

    Oh my God, I really miss Korea now. Oyster for how much?
    Where I live(Southern Germany, no sea whatsoever nearby), I need to go to some fancy department store to get some of those babies.
