Why here
A stall inside Gwangjang Market whose name promises raw fish (hoejip) but whose real draw is a spicy daegu maeuntang, a cod stew loaded with roe and milt that keeps regulars coming back. Weekend and lunch-rush lines build up quickly, though they thin out for anyone arriving just after the peak. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
