It came boxed up, making it easy to take to our accommodation—and perfect for bringing to the beach that evening 𓈒𓂂𓏸 ![Boxed six-piece croquette set](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-10-1tapj-676.webp) I could feel the warmth as soon as I got them. They were not cooled-down croquettes; they had been fried not long before, so they tasted even better. ![Warm packaged croquettes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-11-1xjce-900.webp) A takeout-food photo that looks pretty powerful. ![An assortment of takeout food](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-12-1l7an-900.webp) We dropped our bags at the accommodation and went straight to Sokcho Beach to set out the food ⋆｡˚ 🌊🦀🐟 ![Takeout food set out at Sokcho Beach](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-13-67i44-900.webp) ### Sokcho red crab croquette This signature croquette is filled with Sokcho’s local red crab, and its unusual flavor—something you cannot try elsewhere—really stood out! It was my second favorite after the spicy jjamppong, and since it is not spicy, it would be good for kids too. ![Cross-section of a Sokcho red crab croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-14-tuu08-900.webp) ### Pollock roe cream, pepper japchae, and Abai croquettes Pollock roe cream croquette 🍜 I expected a strong flavor, but it was lighter than expected. It captured the flavor of pollock roe cream udon, with the cream and savory-salty roe working beautifully together. ![Pollock roe cream croquette flavor description](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-15-1qne1-900.webp) Pepper japchae croquette 🌶️ This Chinese-style japchae croquette is filled with pepper japchae, with smoky wok flavor and saltiness that made it just right as a beer snack. Samsam Goroke generally packs in more filling than other croquettes, which may be why every bite was so good • • Abai croquette 🦑 The Abai croquette contains the filling from squid sundae, a Sokcho specialty, and I loved its squid flavor and texture. ![Pepper japchae and Abai croquettes](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-16-34oat-900.webp) ### Sokcho potato croquette I thought it would be a croquette with only potato inside, but this Gangwon potato croquette had a subtle pizza-like flavor. The fluffy potato texture with a nutty pizza aroma makes it an easy crowd-pleaser 🍕 ![Gangwon potato croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-17-1670n-900.webp) Even the leftover croquettes were delicious when I ate them at home the next day 🥺 ![Leftover croquettes eaten the next day](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-18-1ccn6-900.webp) ### The best one: spicy jjamppong croquette Spicy jjamppong croquette 🔥 This was the number-one croquette for my taste buds ꒰ ⸝⸝ɞ̴̶̷ ·̮ ɞ̴̶̷⸝⸝꒱ It was packed with meat jjamppong and lots of smoky fire flavor, and it was so delicious. I could see why it is a bestseller!! If you only want to buy one individually, I highly recommend the spicy jjamppong flavor. ![Recommended spicy jjamppong croquette](https://img.superchart.com/images/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/sokcho-market-croquette-packing-19-pshg8-900.webp) I think these croquettes are also great as gifts because you can taste Sokcho’s distinctive flavors in them ㆅ If you are looking for food to take back to your accommodation from Sokcho Jungang Market, I recommend Samsam Goroke! It was such a good croquette spot that I would happily revisit next time I am in Sokcho ᵕ༚ᵕ⑅ ## Where it is - Samsam Goroke (삼삼고로케) - 28 Jungangsijang-ro 6-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙시장로6길 28 닭전 골목 새롬맛집 옆집, 만석닭강정 맞은편 - 38.204443, 128.5898342 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%82%BC%EC%82%BC%EA%B3%A0%EB%A1%9C%EC%BC%80/@38.204443,128.5898342,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@first-mouthful/sokcho-market-croquette-packing/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
