Hyesugine Live Fish

Interviewed by HeySeorak
SeafoodPremiumDaepo

A second-generation Daepo Port sashimi house where the mother — now in her seventies — still walks to the dawn auction herself to pick the day's fish. Her daughter, who started helping at 22 when her mother fell ill, now runs the shop with her husband; no employees, no shortcuts. The sets follow the Daepo Port standard, but what distinguishes this house is everything around the main dish: handmade kimchi, same-day squid in the side spread, seasonal banchan, and complimentary grilled fish and gimbap for families with small kids.

Pro tip

The B-set (대게+회) at ₩200,000 is the balanced flagship — snow crab with live sashimi, seafood spread, steamed shellfish, crab-shell fried rice, and red-crab ramyeon. For a lighter two-person table, the C-set (홍게+회) at ₩120,000 gets you red crab with the full accompaniments. Bringing kids? Ask for the complimentary grilled fish and gimbap — a service this shop introduced specifically for families, not something you'll find across the strip. Late-night option: the kitchen stays open until midnight every day.
