Pungmi Crab Gejang & Gegukji (Main Branch) 풍미꽃게장게국지 본점
Boryeong · Daecheon Beach & Daecheon Port · Meal
A restaurant devoted to the crab dishes of the west coast. Soy-marinated crab, called ganjang gejang, is eaten with plain rice, which soaks up the sweet and salty juices. Gegukji is a hearty local stew of crab, fermented seasoning and vegetables that locals order when they want something warming.
Side dishes are generous and refilled on request. Seasonal crab quality varies, with spring and autumn being the usual peaks. English menus are unlikely, so point to photos or ask your hotel to help.
The restaurant is relaxed and family friendly, and lunch fills quickly on weekends because of the beach crowds.
It is near Daecheon Beach, about a 15 to 20 minute taxi ride from Daecheon Station, with parking nearby. (Show a driver: 풍미꽃게장게국지 본점)
