Post-marathon recovery meal in Sokcho: Jeju yellow crab seafood shabu
Sokcho Haemul Kkot Jangkalguksu is a seafood shabu and jangkalguksu (spicy knife-cut noodle soup) restaurant in Joyang-dong, Sokcho. After running the Yangyang half marathon, the writer and friends shared the 25,000 won per person special seafood flower platter shabu jangkalguksu, which came with abalone, octopus, shrimp, clams and squid plus beef and a whole ginseng root for a proper recovery meal. The owner explained that the broth is made with Jeju yellow crab rather than blue crab, and the seafood-to-price ratio makes Sokcho Haemul Kkot Jangkalguksu worth the stop.
