“We make our spicy fish stew using the bones of fish caught that very day, resulting in a rich broth with no fishy smell. It is our signature dish.”

Interviewed by HeySeorak
SeafoodModerateDaepo Port

A two-unit sashimi house on Daepo Port run by a Busan native who married into a Sokcho fishing family twelve years ago. She took over her in-laws' long-running raw fish shop, rebranded it as Seongjin, and over the years moved it from the old shoreline shacks to a parking-lot stall to its current expanded spot in the Daepo Fishery Market. A remodel last year stripped the place of the usual raw-fish-house clutter and left something that foreign guests keep mistaking for a café: high ceilings, clean lines, ocean view. The full-course sashimi sets are the house specialty, and she was the first vendor on the strip to introduce them.

Pro tip

The full-course sashimi set is what most tables order and the easiest way to get the full Seongjin experience. If you don't do spicy, ask for the spicy fish stew to be made jiri — the mild white-broth version. Foreign guests consistently end up scraping the bowl clean. Don't worry about navigating the menu: saying 'crab, rice, sashimi, steam' is enough to get a full course. The kitchen is used to it.
