Locals' pickBlue RibbonBetter with a group ⓘ

An old fish-braising house in a lane by Cheongcho Lake. The signature is spicy braised jangchi (a local eelpout) with soft radish; locals add spicy raw-fish salad (muchim-hoe), and in late autumn there is doruk (sandfish) stew. The fish is cooked for lunch and dinner, and each session ends when it runs out.
