SeafoodPremiumDaepo Port

A family-run sashimi and crab house on Daepo Port, now in its second generation. The mother started the business thirty years ago in the old open-stall fish market; twenty years later, her daughter runs the floor from a smaller building with an ocean view, still picking fish from the dawn auction and keeping a rotating spread of side dishes that changes with the season. Live sashimi, fresh snow crab, and a spicy fish stew regulars drive from out of town for — all in a room small enough that the owner greets every table.

Pro tip

Don't let the set menu box you in — just tell the owner what you want. She speaks English (she lived in the US) and will build a custom spread for you: grilled fish, steamed crab, pre-cracked so you don't have to fight the shell. Families with kids: ask for the kid-friendly side dishes; they'll swap in milder items. Arrive before 21:00 to catch the full kitchen.
