## In short

Rigo Susan is a sashimi restaurant and bar near Exit 8 of Jeonpo Station, by the Jeonpo Cafe Street in Busanjin, Busan. The writer ordered the live raw shrimp platter (₩49,000), and because she can't handle live shrimp herself, a staff member peeled each one by hand and fried the leftover shrimp heads on the spot. With plump, sweet raw shrimp and a generous spread of stew-style side dishes, Rigo Susan is a solid pick for drinks in Jeonpo.

They said if you sign up for Naver alerts for Rigo Susan, you get complimentary mulhoe (cold raw fish soup) too haha.

With a spread like this alone, you could easily finish a whole bottle, right? Hahaha

## Live shrimp still moving — staff peeled every one by hand

![Plate of live raw shrimp with shells removed](https://img.superchart.com/images/jeonpo-raw-shrimp-peeled-by-staff-rigo/jeonpo-raw-shrimp-peeled-by-staff-rigo-14-1b5d6-1200.webp)

The raw shrimp arrived! They come out with the shell already removed, and they're still alive — whoa. You just need to remove the head before eating.

I can't touch live shrimp... I love eating them, but they gross me out haha. So my boyfriend was peeling them for me...

I guess I was making such a horrified face that a staff member came over and kindly peeled every single one for us. I asked if they always do that, and they said it's possible when the restaurant isn't too busy!

A big thank-you to the staff member who peeled them one by one so kindly.. 🤩🤩🤩

Let me try one! It had been so long since I'd had this, so I was excited TT. The meat was plump and springy and sweet — seriously so good 💛💛💛💛

Every single side dish was delicious too, and the portions were generous! It was so nice to be able to try a bit of everything 🤤

## Honest verdict on Rigo Susan in Jeonpo

I went here because I wanted raw shrimp in Jeonpo! We ordered the raw shrimp, and sure enough — since it was truly raw — it was still moving as soon as it hit the plate 🫠😂😂. I found it a bit tricky to handle myself, but the staff peeled everything one by one so it was easy to eat comfortably haha.

The shrimp meat was plump and springy, sweet, with its own distinct savory flavor — so delicious 🦐. If you're someone who loves fresh raw shrimp, you'll be very satisfied with the taste!!

And they fried the leftover shrimp heads separately for us~! Eating the crispy fried shrimp heads too meant nothing went to waste — felt like we really made the most of it 🤍

What I loved most was that it wasn't just raw shrimp — a wide variety of side dishes came out generously too! With several basic sides to pick at one by one, it was a great spot for a drink haha.

The staff handled the shrimp for us to make it easy to eat and even took care of frying the heads, so this place stuck in my memory as a great Jeonpo bar for raw shrimp ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. If you love raw shrimp, it's worth stopping by in Jeonpo~🦐🩷
