Fernbrake namul, sokbakji, cucumber kimchi, bean sprout namul, pickled chili, and special soy sauce — all prepared, and you can help yourself to as much as you want! The fernbrake namul was chewy and nutty, with a real Jeju specialty feel. The sokbakji was crisp and tangy-sweet, pairing perfectly with the grilled fish, and the cucumber kimchi was refreshingly crunchy, perfectly cleansing my palate between bites of fish! The bean sprout namul was crisp and nutty, waking up my appetite, and the pickled chili was spicy-salty, perfect with rice. Dipping the fish in the special soy sauce added umami and brought out even more flavor! ![Self-bar where you can serve yourself banchan](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-12-1iz3a-900.webp) You help yourself to the basic banchan at the self-bar! Being able to take as much as you want was great, and having such a generous, varied spread from the start put me in a great mood. I even filmed a video before eating! Just seeing the whole table set out made my mouth water. ![Full table spread of the Dad's Set for two](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-13-4sr6u-900.webp) Seeing the Dad's Set fully laid out — grilled mackerel, braised cutlassfish, cheonggukjang stew, the whole table — made me happy right away! The golden-brown color of the charcoal-grilled mackerel looked so appetizing, and the glossy red sauce coating the braised cutlassfish looked like it could fill you up just by looking at it! ![Charcoal-grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-14-1vsq1-900.webp) ![Close-up of golden-grilled mackerel](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-15-mokfr-900.webp) ### Charcoal-grilled mackerel The charcoal-grilled mackerel had a golden, crispy exterior that instantly triggered my appetite! You could even see the charcoal aroma soaked into the fish just from looking at it. The texture was a crispy-crumbly outside with a moist, tender inside — that double texture made me let out a little gasp with every bite! Perfectly crispy-outside-tender-inside from the direct grilling. As for flavor, the charcoal aroma had soaked deep into the mackerel, bringing out a rich, nutty flavor with every chew! The mackerel's naturally clean, nutty taste combined with the charcoal aroma made it feel like an entirely different level from ordinary grilled fish! Dipping it in the special soy sauce added even more umami and depth of flavor! The aroma was that distinctive smoky, nutty charcoal scent soaked into the mackerel, stimulating my appetite from the first whiff! After finishing, the nutty, clean aftertaste lingered, leaving me satisfied with a proper mackerel grilled meal in Jeju. ![Braised cutlassfish in red sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-16-wek13-900.webp) ![Thick-cut braised cutlassfish flesh](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-17-qbtj2-900.webp) ### Braised cutlassfish The braised cutlassfish made my jaw drop just from the sight of the glossy red sauce coating it! Thick-cut cutlassfish sitting in that red sauce looked so appetizing. The texture was soft, flaking apart along the grain, with the sauce soaked deep into the flesh — moist all the way through! The meat came off the bone easily, making it easy to eat, and the flesh was firm yet tender, which was really appealing. The flavor was a spicy-sweet braising sauce soaked deep into the cutlassfish, with rich umami rising with every bite! The fish's naturally clean flavor blended with the spicy-sweet sauce made it hard to stop reaching for more! Especially eaten with rice, the sauce coats every grain — one spoonful and you can't stop! ![Rolled egg ordered as an add-on](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-18-1hq35-900.webp) ![Cross-section of thick rolled egg](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-19-zijcy-900.webp) ### Rolled egg added for 5,000 won The rolled egg (gyeranmari) looked so nutty just from its golden-brown color! The thickly rolled shape made it look packed with fillings, and the pretty cross-section looked so appetizing. The texture was a slightly crispy outside with a soft, moist inside — a double texture. The flavor was a rich, nutty, clean egg taste that blended with the fillings for even more depth! Between the grilled fish and the cheonggukjang stew, the rolled egg's clean taste perfectly refreshed my palate. ![Cheonggukjang stew bubbling in a stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-20-mzqlk-900.webp) ![Tofu inside the cheonggukjang stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-21-bd5gu-900.webp) ### Cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) Watching the cheonggukjang (fermented soybean stew) bubble away in the stone pot, the earthy aroma seemed to rise right off it! The distinctive earthy scent of cheonggukjang filled the whole restaurant, really stimulating the appetite. I took a spoonful of the broth first, and the deep, earthy flavor of the cheonggukjang spread through my whole mouth! Not overpowering, but with deep flavor — one spoonful made me want another! The tofu melted softly in my mouth, and eating it with the cheonggukjang made the earthiness even richer. Eating the grilled fish and then taking a spoonful of cheonggukjang settled my stomach comfortably, completing a hearty, satisfying meal! ![Free steamed egg received via Naver reservation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-22-18wv2-900.webp) ![Spoonful of steamed egg from the stone pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-23-1nclk-900.webp) ## Free steamed egg when you book on Naver Here's a tip! If you make a reservation via Naver, you get a free steamed egg (gyeranjjim)! I had reserved through Naver, and they gave me a free gyeranjjim — totally touched! The gyeranjjim looked so appetizing just bubbling up in its stone pot! The texture melted softly in my mouth, giving a warm, cozy feeling with every spoonful! The rich, nutty, clean egg flavor came through strongly, seasoned just saltily enough to go perfectly with rice. Between the salty flavors of the grilled fish, the soft taste of the gyeranjjim wrapped my palate comfortably — it played that role perfectly. ![Final view of the table with grilled fish and stew](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set/jeju-airport-grilled-fish-appa-set-24-7ioxd-900.webp) ## Is Naneun Jigeum worth it as a first meal in Jeju?
