  1. Pufferfish, four ways, from a kitchen that's been around forever and takes the licensing of its chefs very seriously, for reasons you already know. This Haeundae outpost is part of a Seoul and Busan chain built entirely around the fish: brown-backed for chew, globe puffer in a spicy stew, yellowfin for sweeter preparations, ocellate served raw. It reads like a taxonomy lesson, but the regulars ordering without looking up suggest it's more of a ritual.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
