A family of four visiting on a same-day trip from Daegu ordered two bakdal snow crab sets for two at 130,000 won each, which covered live-fish sashimi, mulhoe (cold raw fish soup), a seafood platter, soy-marinated crab, steamed squid, fried rice cooked in the crab shell with the roe, and spicy stew. The bakdal crab at Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang was packed with meat and the seasoning stayed mild, so the meal worked even with children at the table. ## Good to know - **Location**: 35 Jukdosijang-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, inside Jukdo Market - **What they ordered**: Bakdal snow crab set for two × 2 (party of four) - **Price**: Bakdal snow crab set for two, 130,000 won - **What the set includes**: Bakdal snow crab, live-fish sashimi, mulhoe, seafood platter, side dishes, crab roe fried rice, spicy stew - **How the restaurant runs**: Wholesale and retail business for over 30 years across two generations; baskets weighed in front of customers - **Time of visit**: Tables nearly full even after the lunch rush - **Price reference**: ₩130,000 ≈ $94 (2026-09-18) *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ## Why a Daegu family drove to Pohang for Jukdo Market snow crab We hopped over to Pohang with the family for a quick day trip haha. Daegu and Pohang are close enough that a day trip is no problem at all haha. ![Entrance view of Jukdo Market in Pohang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-01-141er-900.webp) Took a photo near the entrance of Jukdo Market haha. For the record, a proper trip needs some sea views, some zoning out at a big café, and if you've made it all the way to Pohang, the main event has to be demolishing some crab haha. So for the core mission of this Pohang trip, we headed to Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang, famous as a crab restaurant in Jukdo Market, Pohang! ![Path inside Jukdo Market leading to Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-02-1xh7t-900.webp) To get to Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang, you have to go deep inside Jukdo Market. ![Alley inside the Jukdo Market fish market](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-03-77qwm-900.webp) It had been ages since I'd visited Jukdo Market, and being at a fish market again felt oddly nostalgic haha. Probably because all I ever look at these days is a laptop, phone, and books haha. ### Gallilli Daegae: 30 years, two generations, and the basket weighed in front of you Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang is located deep inside Jukdo Market, and it's a place where a family has run wholesale and retail together for over 30 years across two generations! They said cutting out the middleman lets them offer fresh seafood at reasonable prices, so I went in trusting that haha (places with that kind of know-how are usually the real deal). ![Seafood displayed outside Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-04-1cn6h-900.webp) ![Crab tank at the entrance of Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-05-14gz8-900.webp) ![Sign in front of the restaurant stating no crab swapping](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-06-ga1p5-m-900.webp) ![Staff weighing a basket of crab](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-07-11qbw-900.webp) What gave me a strong sense of trust right from the entrance was that they show you the basket weight right in front of you, and there's even a written pledge that they never swap out the crab haha. They also said they'll throw in extra service if you mention you found them through a blog or map! ![Interior view of Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-08-16v15-900.webp) ![Dining hall with nearly full tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-09-1kef9-900.webp) Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang seems to already be a well-known restaurant in Jukdo Market, Pohang. We arrived after lunch hours but tables were still nearly full, and there were a lot of foreign visitors too. ![Menu board at Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-10-24iwm-900.webp) ![Menu board showing crab set prices](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-11-1vsrj-900.webp) ![Menu information posted on the restaurant wall](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-12-15lvy-900.webp) ## How much is the bakdal snow crab set? 130,000 won for two, two sets for four Here's the menu, and since there were four of us, we ordered two bakdal crab sets for two! (The set price is ₩130,000!) ![Side dish spread served with the bakdal crab set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-13-sgcat-900.webp) Can you see how the table is basically sagging under the food haha? And the bakdal crab hadn't even shown up yet. Mulhoe, sashimi, all kinds of side dishes—there was way too much to eat. I was actually worried we'd fill up before the crab even arrived. ![Plate of raw fish sashimi included in the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-14-1ohxm-900.webp) ![Ice-cold mulhoe with floating ice](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-15-k1dm1-900.webp) ![Seafood platter with abalone sashimi, sea squirt, and conch](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-16-1htiz-900.webp) ![Soy-marinated crab and steamed squid side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-17-13u2i-900.webp) ### What comes with the set: seafood platter, side dishes and even rambutan Ordering the set doesn't just get you bakdal crab—it comes with raw fish sashimi, mulhoe, a seafood platter, side dishes, and even the spicy stew, an absolute full course haha. The table nearly collapsed under it all haha. The seafood platter that came as a basic starter had abalone sashimi, sea squirt, conch, and oddly enough, rambutan too haha (for a second I wondered if rambutan even counts as seafood haha). Soy-marinated crab and steamed squid also came out, sweet and salty—honestly you could fill up on the side dishes alone haha. And just look at how gorgeous this raw fish sashimi is. The flesh was so firm and chewy, dipping it in vinegared gochujang was insane haha. Washing it down with the refreshing, ice-cold mulhoe totally reset the palate haha. ## How meaty is bakdal crab, and how is it different from red crab? Finally, the main dish arrives: bakdal crab. ![Steamed bakdal crab served whole](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-18-5twly-1200.webp) A lot of people wonder about the difference between snow crab (daege) and red crab (hongge)—apparently if the belly is white it's snow crab, and if it's reddish all over it's red crab! (If you're not sure, just ask the owner, they'll explain kindly haha.) For reference, while a regular Yeongdeok snow crab has about a 70% meat yield, bakdal crab refers to crab that's 100% packed with meat. I grabbed one claw and started picking, and the meat was insanely packed in there. Not salty at all, pulling apart cleanly along the grain, sweet and nutty crab meat... ugh, I want more already haha. The crab meat was seriously insane, the yield was crazy, for real!!! I've never been someone who's especially into crab, but seeing meat packed in that tight made my eyes go wide haha. ![Bakdal crab claw meat packed full](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-19-16z9m-900.webp) ![Plate of pre-picked crab meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-20-v3i1c-900.webp) Even the shrimp were plump and fat haha. Between the crab and the shrimp, there was so much to eat that our stomachs felt like they'd burst haha. It was delicious even without dipping it in vinegared gochujang or any other sauce. ![Plump steamed shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-21-1x1m2-900.webp) ![Shrimp and crab meat served together as part of the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-22-ot26j-900.webp) ## The finish: crab roe fried rice in the shell and spicy stew And finally, the crab roe fried rice!!! Eating crab without the roe fried rice should honestly be a crime haha. Rich crab roe fried with a sprinkle of seaweed flakes, served in the crab shell, then topped with pre-picked crab meat—it's basically heaven haha. I'm usually not a fan of that kind of innard stuff, but the crab roe rice at Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang was seriously delicious!!! No fishy taste at all, just clean and light with a crisp finish. ![Crab roe fried rice with seaweed flakes sprinkled on top](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-23-tfm4z-900.webp) ![Spicy stew served at the end of the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip-24-ryiss-900.webp) Finishing it all off with a bubbling, spicy stew felt like it cleared everything right up haha. It almost felt like a proper hangover cure, even without drinking any soju haha. ### Is Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang good for eating with kids? The seasoning wasn't too intense, so even young kids could eat it without trouble! If someone can't handle spicy food, you can just scoop a bit less of the sauce!!! The whole family ate until we were stuffed and left very satisfied! If you want to eat bakdal crab with insane meat yield at a reasonable price in Jukdo Market, Pohang, I really recommend giving Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang a try!!! ## Where it is - Gallilli Daegae Hoe Sikdang (갈릴리대게회식당) - 35 Jukdosijang-gil, Buk-gu, Pohang-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 포항시 북구 죽도시장길 35 갈릴리 대게 회식당 - 36.035465, 129.3692413 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EA%B0%88%EB%A6%B4%EB%A6%AC%EB%8C%80%EA%B2%8C%ED%9A%8C%EC%8B%9D%EB%8B%B9/@36.035465,129.3692413,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@errand-meal-daegu/pohang-jukdo-market-crab-family-daytrip/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
