머구리횟집

Interviewed by HeySeorak
SeafoodPremiumDaepo

A second-generation sashimi and crab house on Daepo Port, in business for twenty years. The owner's father was a fisherman who sold his catch from a small stall; the son built his own building and turned it into a full restaurant. Every morning the kitchen buys through the Daepo fishery co-op — nothing is cut until the order arrives. The menu runs from a ₩15,000 sashimi rice bowl to a ₩500,000 eight-course snow crab feast with three crabs, live sashimi, handmade sushi, and crab roe rice.

Pro tip

The C-course (₩200,000) is the best entry point — one snow crab, live sashimi, a seafood spread, crab leg tempura, grilled flatfish, and crab roe rice. Four or more? The VIP 람품 세트 at ₩500,000 is the meal Daepo Port is built for. Ask the staff about the Sokcho scallop farm 가리비찜 (steamed scallops, ₩50,000) — a house special for foreign guests. The second floor runs a table-order tablet so you can point and tap without Korean.
