One of the must-try items on our To-Eat list for Jeju, aside from the famous Black Pig Meat was, of course, the Soy Marinated Crab. Finding this hidden gem took some time, as it wasn’t located along the main street. Nonetheless, we eventually made our way there, eager to dig in.

The surroundings gave me the vibe of a bustling fishery port, with small seafood eateries like this dotting the area.
As we stepped into the restaurant, the simple contemporary wooden furnishings added a cozy, homely touch, making the dining experience even more inviting.

As with most places we visited, the menu was entirely in Korean. Even after requesting an English menu, there were still parts we didn’t fully understand. In the end, we simply picked what we wanted and ordered portions based on the number of people.

The Korean spread included Banchan, an array of traditional Korean side dishes.
We also ordered the Sea Urchin & Seaweed Soup from the menu. The seaweed was fresh, complemented by bits of sea urchin. The natural sea-saltiness and the warmth of the soup made it incredibly comforting for the stomach.

Here comes the star of the meal, the Soy Marinated Crab! Awesome! As soon as it arrived, our hands got busy. The raw crab was soaked in a rich pool of soy seasoning and condiments, with the fragrant marinade beautifully infusing into the sweet, delicate crab meat. It was pure indulgence.
