(19 reviews)
A simple, no-frills restaurant near the Lighthouse (Deungdae) Beach in Sokcho that focuses only on braised fish. They sell three stews — braised skate, braised cod head, and an assorted fish — with the Saengseon Modeum piled high with ray, kodari (semi-dried pollack), flounder, hairtail and sandfish. The fish are simmered gently in sauce so the flesh stays moist and the seasoning soaks in; the mellow, sweet radish and roe-filled sandfish are local favorites. Portions are generous and the slightly spicy broth makes it a popular spot for people who like to pair food with drinks. Note: bowl rice (gonggi-bap) must be ordered separately.

Local Tips

  • Three-item menu focused on rich, home-style braised fish — especially the generous Saengseon Modeum Jjim
  • Favored by locals and soju drinkers for its roomy portions and warming, slightly spicy sauce
  • Order a separate bowl of rice (gonggi-bap) to soak up the sauce; closed on Wednesdays
