Solhyang Daege Gangneung Main Branch 솔향대게 강릉본점
Gangneung · Anmok, Gangmun & Songjeong · Meal
Daege, or snow crab, is the east coast's winter prize, with sweet white meat and a rich yellow paste in the shell. This restaurant specializes in steamed crab, served whole at the table and cut for you. Because crab is sold by weight and size, bills can climb, so confirm the total beforehand.
Bring a group, since a large crab is meant to be shared, and expect to roll up your sleeves. A rice bowl cooked in the shell is a common finish. Prices vary widely by season; reservation is recommended on weekends.
From Gangneung Station (강릉역) it is about 20 minutes by taxi. Ask your hotel to call and reserve, as staff may not speak English.
