Reviewers praise the vibrant, market-fresh energy of Samaesarn Market, with the pearl oysters emerging as the standout dish for their briny, pristine flavor. The overall vibe is a lively, unpretentious celebration of simple, high-quality seafood.
“These pearl oysters are natural, not farmed. I removed them all and put them on this shell. They don't taste like oysters — they're more like scallops, judging from the meat. They look like oysters but the meat is like scallops. So juicy and spicy. They smelled like scallops.”
