Yujin Gejjim 유진게찜
Sokcho · Yeongnang Lake & Jangsa Port · Meal
Steamed whole crab is the only reason to come here, so be prepared for a hands-on meal with cracking tools, plastic gloves and a lot of napkins. The staff steam crab on request and bring it to your table with sauces and sides, and later rice is often fried in the shell. Prices are based on weight and the day's market, so ask before ordering.
It is a place for groups, because one crab can feed several people. Card payment is common. Menus, prices and hours may change, and booking by phone can help on weekends.
