# Anyang oven-grilled fish: mackerel vs Spanish mackerel set compared - By Jisoo L. (https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-table-window/) - Written Sep 9, 2026 - Local places › Restaurants › Anyang, Gyeonggi - Sponsored: This is a sponsored post — the meal was provided by the restaurant. - English edition: https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-table-window/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/ - Also in: [한국어](https://superchart.com/ko/@gyeonggi-table-window/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/index.md) ## In short Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch is a grilled fish Korean restaurant on Gwanak-daero in Bisan-dong, Anyang, Gyeonggi. Ordering both the mackerel set and the Spanish mackerel set, the mackerel had crispy sweet skin while the Spanish mackerel was milder and more moist, all served with more than six generous side dishes. Because the fish is grilled in a clay oven, no smoke smell clings to clothes or hair, making it a family-outing spot worth returning to with parents. ## Good to know - **Address**: 272 Gwanak-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (1F, KidsMom Center Blue Building) - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:30 - **Break time**: 15:00–16:30 - **Parking**: Available - **Restroom**: Inside the building - **Ordered**: 1 mackerel set, 1 Spanish mackerel set - **Rice choice**: White rice or brown rice *as written by the visitor on Sep 9, 2026* Whenever I crave grilled fish, the one thing that always gives me pause is how brutal the smell is if I grill it at home. So I went hunting for a place that grills fish in a clay oven instead. Honestly, from the fish quality to the side dish spread, it exceeded my expectations so much that I immediately started planning a trip with my parents 😚 ✔️ Reviewing Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo (화덕으로간고등어) Bisan Branch, let's go ![Grilled fish set table setting at Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-01-iqb6o-1200.webp) ![Full table of clay-oven grilled fish set in Bisan-dong, Anyang](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-02-18mm1-966.webp) ![Plate of clay-oven grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-03-3evyd-966.webp) ## Location and hours - 📍 Address: 272 Gwanak-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (1F, KidsMom Center Blue Building) - ⏰ Hours: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:30 - Break time: 15:00–16:30 - 🅿️ Parking available / 🚻 Restroom inside the building ## Interior, smell, and the weeknight scene The interior is clean overall.

(No smell clung to my hair or clothes.) ![Spacious table area that accommodates larger groups](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-06-2k74c-966.webp) *Great for group dining* Overall it's a great atmosphere for a family meal, so I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a grilled fish restaurant in Bisan-dong, Anyang, or a Korean restaurant near Indeogwon to visit with parents 👍 ## Checking out the self-service bar ![Self-service corner at Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-07-yd7y6-966.webp) ![Side dishes and utensils at the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-08-1q4at-966.webp) ![Side dish section of the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-09-yovus-966.webp) ![Soup and bowls set up at the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-10-gpt91-966.webp) ![Close-up of side dish containers at the self-service corner](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-11-1lp18-966.webp) ![아이들도 먹을 수 있는 떡볶이가 있는 셀프바](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-12-1t2no-966.webp) ![A plate filled from the self-service bar](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-13-ic1ib-966.webp) Having tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) at a grilled fish place means they've thought of the kids too. Nice touch. ## Menu and what we ordered ![Menu board at Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-14-15ejf-966.webp) We ordered 1 mackerel set and 1 Spanish mackerel set. *You can choose white rice or brown rice. ## The table setting and side dishes The side dish spread 👍👍👍 ![Full table setting with the set menu's side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-15-zbl1o-966.webp) Glass noodles, seasoned bellflower root, pickles, seasoned cucumber in doenjang (soybean paste), young radish kimchi, and salad. ![Seasoned bellflower root and cucumber side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-16-15aqq-966.webp) ![Close-up of young radish kimchi and glass noodles side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-17-1rhio-966.webp) Such a wide variety of side dishes! It's not just fish sitting there alone — there's a whole generous spread of dishes to eat with rice. If you love Korean food, this is an absolute must ⭐⭐ It genuinely feels like sitting down to a proper Korean table ㅠ Siraegi (dried radish greens) doenjang soup, soy sauce, and salt also come out. ## Mackerel vs Spanish mackerel: the flavor difference ![Clay-oven grilled mackerel and Spanish mackerel main dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-18-hbqc2-966.webp) ✔️ Flavor notes on the grilled fish - 👉 Mackerel: sweet flavor, crispy texture from the skin - 👉 Spanish mackerel: milder and more moist compared to the mackerel There was a sweetness to it that went really well with rice. The mackerel kept its rich, deep flavor with zero fishiness. The flesh pulled apart moist rather than dry. Both fish were grilled in the clay oven so the outside was crisp while the inside stayed juicy. Overall both the mackerel and the Spanish mackerel had that crispy-outside, tender-inside vibe. ### How easily the flesh separates from the bone Look at how effortlessly the flesh slides off the bone. It genuinely melts off... it wouldn't even hold in the tongs properly because it was so soft. I ate it genuinely moved. ![Thick fish flesh pulled apart from the bone](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-19-1hw7w-966.webp) The fish is also really big, and the flesh is completely packed in. It felt like I finally had a proper healthy meal for once. Really thick and hearty. ## Why I wanted to bring my parents here ![Grilled fish set with rice and siraegi doenjang soup](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-20-1th48-966.webp) You know how hard it is to eat like this at home. At this quality and this price, I feel like I'd want to come back often. Especially with the thought of bringing my parents, I kept looking over the menu. And the vibe of the place itself was basically full of elderly diner groups and families. That's how much this spot is a certified favorite among older generations 👍 ![A bite of fish flesh eaten with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-21-ptxww-966.webp) ![Grilled mackerel showing its crispy skin](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-22-1xw7s-966.webp) ![Close-up of moist grilled Spanish mackerel flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-23-uxdny-966.webp) ![Leftover grilled fish and side dish plates after the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik-24-1bxoj-966.webp) The fish just kept coming, and I couldn't stop eating. If you're wondering what to eat this weekend, or where to take your parents, don't even think twice, I genuinely, genuinely recommend it ⭐⭐⭐ I already made plans to come back here with my parents haha Ate well again today ~~~~❤️ ## Final verdict - Grilled in a clay oven, so the fish quality is quite good - A wide variety of side dishes is served - A satisfying Korean-style spread of fish plus side dishes - Great atmosphere for dining with parents - A good pick when looking for a grilled fish restaurant in Bisan-dong, Anyang - Also a solid option for those searching for a Korean restaurant near Indeogwon 👉 Strongly recommended when you want a proper grilled fish meal, or when looking for a grilled fish restaurant in Bisan-dong, Anyang ## Where it is - Hwaddeugeuro Gan Godeungeo Bisan Branch (화덕으로간고등어 비산점) - 272 Gwanak-daero, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea (1F, KidsMom Center Blue Building) - 경기도 안양시 동안구 관악대로 272 키즈맘센터 블루동 1층 - 37.4018669, 126.9530066 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%ED%99%94%EB%8D%95%EC%9C%BC%EB%A1%9C%EA%B0%84%EA%B3%A0%EB%93%B1%EC%96%B4%20%EB%B9%84%EC%82%B0%EC%A0%90/@37.4018669,126.9530066,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@gyeonggi-table-window/anyang-bisan-grilled-mackerel-hanjeongsik/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
