(17 reviews)A local eel spot using sea eels caught in Yeosu's mudflats, Sangol Sikdang specializes in grilled eel and a hearty eel soup. Their signature (salt-grilled) is prepared to order and served whole from head to tail; a sprinkle of coarse salt brings out the eel's deep, savory nuttiness. Eat it with accompanying gatkimchi, soy dipping sauce and jangajji pickles for extra umami. When you order eel, they also bring a complimentary — chunks of eel and chives slowly boiled in a doenjang-based broth — whose plump eel meat and rich soup round out the meal.
