(21 reviews)A Mokpo institution since 1969, Yeongran Hoetjip specializes in summer (croaker), a fish the city prides itself on. The restaurant turns often-discarded parts like the swim bladder and skin into celebrated side dishes, and its spicy fish stew (maeuntang) is flavored with rooftop-fermented doenjang made each year. Sashimi is served as lightly aged (one to two days) sun-eohoe — thick, substantial slices that are tender yet satisfyingly firm — and a house chojang made with makgeolli vinegar aged over six months brings out the fish's natural umami.
