Where can you eat sashimi cheaply in Daecheon?

If you want sashimi in Boryeong's Daecheon at a reasonable price, you can pack it to go from Nokdo Susan in Daecheonhang Fish Market. The highlight of a Boryeong trip is surely a piece of fresh sashimi by the Daecheon sea. But when you actually walk into the big sashimi restaurants and shellfish-grill places near Daecheon Beach, price tags well over ₩60,000 per person often make you hesitate to open your wallet.

What solved that worry in one go was Nokdo Susan (녹도수산) in Daecheonhang Fish Market. In the lively atmosphere that's special to Daecheon Port, you can take the taste of the sea home just as it is.

How does ₩53,000 of rockfish and flounder from Nokdo Susan taste?

That day we ordered a mix of rockfish and flounder at Nokdo Susan, ₩53,000 in total. The sashimi, caught and sliced right when we ordered, was literally "freshness" itself. On the way to the beach with our takeout, my mouth was already watering.

Sitting on a mat in the sea breeze with the sashimi in front of us was fantastic, nothing like eating it in a restaurant. Nokdo Susan's flounder had a wonderfully chewy texture, and the subtle sweetness that rose the more I chewed filled my mouth. And the rockfish? It had a charming texture, springy but soft.

The portion was so generous it was hard to believe it was ₩53,000, and the two of us ate until our stomachs were about to burst. I really felt that you can enjoy sashimi that's much fresher and more plentiful than at a restaurant charging ₩60,000 per person.
