Yeonan Pier Baendaengi Salad Street 연안부두 밴댕이회무침거리
Incheon · Open Port District & Wolmido · Meal
A row of small restaurants near the fishing pier serves baendaengi hoemuchim, thin slices of a small silver fish tossed with vegetables in a sweet, tangy gochujang dressing. You mix it into rice with sesame oil, and a bowl of simple soup completes the meal. The fish has a delicate, slightly oily flavor that people in Incheon take seriously, and the season for the best catch is generally late spring into early summer.
The street has a working-harbor feel, with plain interiors and friendly but brisk service. Prices vary by season and shop, and may change.
A taxi or local bus from Incheon Station (인천역) takes about 15 minutes to the Yeonan pier area. (Show a driver: 연안부두 밴댕이회무침거리)
