Samhakjip 삼학집
Yeosu · Old Downtown, Isunsin Square & Nangman Pocha · Meal
Seodae-hoe is the unusual local dish here: thin slices of raw seodae, a flatfish, tossed with vegetables, vinegar and spicy gochujang paste. The restaurant is one of the decades-old spots known for serving it. The usual way to eat it is to scoop the salad over rice and mix it into a bibimbap-like bowl.
If you cannot handle spice, ask whether a milder serving is possible. Side dishes arrive on small plates, and the room is simple and traditional. Portions are generous for one person, so two people can share a serving plus a side.
Bring a card or some cash, and expect the bill to shift with the season.
It is a few minutes by taxi from Isunsin Square, near the harbor streets. (Show a driver: 삼학집)
