Bapdoduk Ganjang Gejang Baekban 밥도둑게장백반
Tongyeong · Yi Sun-sin Park & Hansando · Meal
This neighborhood restaurant serves soy-marinated crab with rice and side dishes, a meal known as a rice thief because it makes you ask for more. The crab is raw and salty-sweet, and you eat it by scooping the roe over rice. It is a local favorite near the Admiral's park, and prices are mid-range.
If you are not used to raw seafood, ask for another dish, since most set meals include grilled fish or stew. Pregnant women and anyone with a delicate stomach should consider skipping the raw crab. Menus are in Korean, and the staff may not speak English, but the main dish is easy to order by name.
Plan on a calm, unhurried meal.
It is a short drive from the park; a taxi from the bus terminal takes about 10 minutes. (Show a driver: 밥도둑게장백반)
