[입이트이는영어] Seafood and Fish / 해산물과 생선

2020.04.07

 

 

Talk about the types of seafood and fish that you enjoy.

 

I have a soft spot for fish.

My favorite type of fish is salmon.

I think salmon tastes great when you eat it raw, without cooking it.

Other fishes that taste good uncooked are halibut, rockfish, and yellowtail.

Fish also tastes good when you cook it on a grill.

Mackrel and eel are popular types of fish that are cooked this way.

Fish can also be cooked in a sauce.

Braised cutlassfish is the most well-known example.

In addition to fish, I also eat seafood like shellfish, shrimp, crab, squid, and octopus.

I especially like oysters when they are in season.

They taste best when you eat them raw, on the half shell.

Sometimes, I eat seafood delicacies like sea cucumber and sea squirt.

 

[해석]

나는 생선을 매우 좋아한다. 가장 좋아하는 생선은 연어이다. 연어를 조리하지 않고 회로 먹으면 정말 맛있는 것 같다. 그 밖에 회로 먹으면 맛있는 생선으로 광어, 우럭, 방어 등이 있다.
생선은 구워서 먹어도 맛있다. 고등어와 장어가 가장 대표적으로 구이로 먹는 생선이다. 생선을 조림으로 먹는 방법도 있다. 갈치조림이 가장 잘 알려진 생선조림 메뉴이다.
나는 생선 외에 조개, 새우, 게, 오징어, 문어와 같은 해산물도 먹는다. 특히 제철일 때 석화를 좋아하는데, 익히지 않고 껍질에서 그대로 먹으면 정말 맛있다. 가끔 해삼이나 멍게와 같은 해산물도 별미로 먹는다.

[VOCABULARY TIPS]

oysters  굴

음식점에서 육류나 생선을 주문할 때는 복수를 사용하지 않는다. 바닷가재, 게, 새우 등도 단수를 사용하는 경우가 대부분이다. 조개, 홍합, 굴 등 갑각류만 주로 복수 형태로 사용한다.

예)
I usually order tuna when I come here. 나는 이곳에 오면 보통 참치를 주문해.
The steamed mussels at this restaurant are delicious. 이 음식점은 찐 홍합이 맛있어.
