Busan · Gwangalli & Suyeong · Meal
This shellfish grill house serves clams, scallops, mussels and other bivalves cooked over a charcoal or gas burner at your table. A set for two is the standard way to order, and sauces, cheese or garlic butter toppings are common. Staff will usually turn the shells for you if you ask, and you finish with noodles or a rice dish cooked in the shell juices.
It is lively and a little smoky, which makes it a better fit for friends than for young kids. Weekend evenings can have a wait, and prices change with the season and the catch.
