(10 reviews)An old, homestyle (spicy fish stew) place tucked deep in the Dujiri mountains outside Paju. The stew is famous for being loaded with minari and shredded radish and punched up with plenty of garlic. Their two signature options are megi (catfish) and bbagasari (a local freshwater fish); many locals order the 섞어 (mixed) version to get both. The restaurant takes a regular day off every other Monday, so check before you go.
