Suncheorine Live Fish

순철이네

Interviewed by HeySeorak
SeafoodPremiumDaepo

A forty-year sashimi and crab house run by Lee Suk-ja — twelve years at her current stall in Daepo Port's B-building, before that another three decades buying squid straight off the dawn auction. The menu is built around Russian snow crab and sashimi sets, finished with a house red-crab ramyeon regulars call their favorite and served with kimchi she pickles herself in-house. From the window seat you can see Naksan Temple across the bluff.

Pro tip

The B-set (대게+회) at ₩200,000 is the flagship — a kilo-plus snow crab paired with sashimi, steamed shellfish, the crab-shell fried rice, and the house red-crab ramyeon. Two-person table? Start with C-set (홍게+회) at ₩120,000 for the red-crab entry. For a sashimi-only night, the A-set at ₩70,000 is the cleanest budget option. Ask for the kkakdugi (radish kimchi) refill — the owner pickles it herself weekly and it's the thing guests ask to buy by the container. Try to grab the window seat with the Naksan view.
