Sancheong Sikdang 산청식당
Andong · Downtown & Old Market · Meal
Salted mackerel, called ganjaebi, is Andong's historic seafood. Fish were once carried inland from the coast under a cover of salt, and the seasoning gave the meat a firm, rich bite. This neighborhood restaurant grills the fish golden and serves it with soybean paste stew or cheonggukjang, plus side dishes in the style of a home meal.
Pork stir-fry and pollock stew can be added for sharing. Most sets are priced for two diners, so solo travelers should ask politely or choose a quiet moment. Lunch fills with office workers fast, and the restaurant rests on Wednesdays.
Expect a mid-priced bill that may shift with fish costs.
It sits in a lane north of Jjimdak Alley, about a three-minute walk, with parking at the market lot. (Show a driver: 산청식당)
