Monyeo Scallop Grill 모녀가리비
Sokcho · Daepo Port & Oeongchi · Meal
Walking past this restaurant, you are met by the smell of shellfish roasting over charcoal. The specialty is scallops and clams grilled on a tray at the table, usually served in sets that include a stew and a few side dishes. Staff will often show you how to open the shells and eat them while still hot, so you don't need Korean to enjoy it.
Seafood prices vary by season and weight, and it is polite to confirm the total before you order. Hands get messy, so ask for wet wipes if none are provided. Most cards work.
Recommended for small groups rather than solo diners, since sets are designed for sharing.
