Sokcho seafood takeaway: red snow crab lunchbox at Yes Susan

Where did I get red snow crab takeaway in Sokcho?

While traveling in Sokcho, I was looking for red snow crab that was neatly prepared and packaged, so I went to Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market Large Parking Lot (예스수산) at Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. It specializes in takeaway red snow crab and snow crab, and this time I chose a red snow crab lunchbox and crab-shell fried rice.

Where is Yes Susan, and what about parking?

The address is 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea, Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, 1F, Unit 124. The hours listed in the original post were 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM, with regular closure every Tuesday.

The post said I could use the Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market public parking lot or the Jungang Market underground parking lot. It also said that I could receive a 30-minute free parking voucher by asking when paying.

The shop was behind the rest area, among the storefronts along the main road to the left of the market's underground parking entrance. I saw it as soon as I entered the market, so it was not difficult to find.

Are delivery and pre-orders available as well as takeaway?

The tanks were full of crabs and scallops. I was told that, besides made-to-order takeaway, accommodation delivery, pre-order pickup, and nationwide courier service were available. The menu included red snow crab lunchboxes, snow crab lunchboxes, steamed scallops, and crab-shell fried rice.

How much were the red snow crab lunchbox and fried rice?

• Red snow crab lunchbox: ₩25,000
• Crab-shell fried rice: ₩2,000 each; ordered two

The red snow crab was prepared and neatly packed so that it was easy to eat right away. The fried rice was also made to order and generously packed into crab shells; two portions worked well for my family of four to share as a finishing dish.

What were the red snow crab and fried rice like at home?

I opened the box and ate it as soon as I got home. Because the red snow crab had been prepared, it was easy to pick out the meat, and the crab was nicely filled. The meat tasted savory and salty, with a sweetness to it.

I reheated the crab-shell fried rice before eating it. It contained rich crab innards, flying-fish roe, seaweed flakes, and sesame seeds, and I liked the popping texture of the roe.

I saved one red snow crab body and added it to ramyeon (instant noodles) with squid I had at home the next day. I did not take a photo of the noodles, but I used the leftover crab for another meal.

What I liked about this takeaway was being able to eat prepared red snow crab right away at home. I liked the combination of picking out the crab meat and finishing the meal with fried rice.
