I heard that a newly opened seafood gem near Daeheung Station in Mapo-gu offered free corkage, so I took along a bottle of champagne and had an absolutely proper feast. At Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada (제철담은 마포바다), a seafood restaurant near Daeheung Station, we enjoyed everything from generous seasonal seafood to a variety of other dishes until we were happily full.

## Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada, easy to find from Daeheung Station

It was easy to find: it was right there as soon as we got off the elevator at Exit 3 of Daeheung Station. Since it is near the station, the restaurant does not have its own parking. They said to use the parking lot beside Twosome Place toward Gongdeok Station, so keep that in mind if you are driving!!

The aquarium in front of the restaurant held various seafood, including flounder and rockfish! As you would expect from a newly opened place, the tank was kept spotless and there was a nice variety of seafood.

Even though we visited early, there were quite a few customers, and the tables gradually filled up as time passed. Rather than feeling upscale and formal, the restaurant had a relaxed atmosphere where it was easy to enjoy a meal without feeling any pressure.

The restaurant was spacious and the tables were generously spaced, so it would work well for a family meal. It also seemed like a good place for a get-together with friends or a casual after-work team dinner. High chairs were available too, so visitors with children should be able to dine comfortably.

## Seasonal seafood sets to suit your group

Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada had a variety of set menus arranged by group size. As the name suggests, they center on seasonal seafood. The sets include autumn favorites such as raw and grilled gizzard shad, along with grilled live shrimp and raw shrimp.

There were individual dishes as well as set menus, which was nice because you can order more of anything you try and wish there had been more of.

For the opening promotion, Cass draft beer was ₩2,000, and they had a wide range of drinks, from traditional soju to sake and wine. Wine and sake are 50% off from the second bottle onward, which could ease the cost of drinks a little for a larger work dinner or gathering.

## Free corkage, even for champagne

The corkage benefit was great too. One bottle is free regardless of the type of alcohol, whether wine, sake, whisky, or traditional liquor, and any additional bottles can be brought in for ₩10,000 each with no bottle limit. Just note that alcohol sold at the restaurant is excluded from the free-corkage offer.

Since corkage was free, we brought Piper-Heidsieck. Once we mentioned it, they prepared an ice bucket and champagne glasses, so we could enjoy it comfortably with our meal. If you are looking for somewhere near Daeheung Station in Mapo for fresh seafood and a drink, I would recommend Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada for its worthwhile corkage policy too.

## The Signature Set, from live shrimp to four kinds of fish

We went for the Signature Set, their featured menu. They told us it was a lot of food, but I love shrimp so much, and my boyfriend wanted the assorted seafood set, so that is what we chose!!

First came salt-grilled raw shrimp, grilled gizzard shad, and assorted seafood, and although the table was already full, the food kept coming!! They even brought over another table set from the kitchen and fitted it against ours to lay everything out. I did not get a photo of that—such a shame, because it would have been great to show you..

![Flounder sushi from the Signature Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-champagne-corkage-seafood-set/mapo-champagne-corkage-seafood-set-09-wploc-900.webp)

Four pieces of flounder sushi came out too, and they told us to try them quickly before they dried out, so I did. The flounder had a lovely chewy bite and really got our appetites going.

Next, we had warm miyeokguk (seaweed soup) and abalone porridge as a light warm-up. The porridge had plenty of abalone, and the rice was softly cooked with no underdone texture, making it easy and comfortable to eat overall.

### A clean-tasting assorted seafood platter

The assorted seafood platter was generously loaded with scallops, sea cucumber, abalone, and sea squirt. I was a little worried that the sea cucumber and sea squirt might taste fishy because of their distinctive aromas, but they were clean-tasting with no fishiness at all.

The seafood's naturally mild, fresh flavor paired beautifully with the champagne we brought for free corkage, so we had a glass alongside it and ate really well.

The warm, soft steamed egg and the live octopus that was still moving on the table were deliciously nutty with sesame oil. And we could not leave out grilled gizzard shad, which is in season right now. One bite of the golden-brown fish brought out such a rich, nutty aroma. Perhaps because it was in season, the flesh had just the right amount of fat and tasted mild yet wonderfully savory.

There was even bossam (boiled pork wraps), so I liked that there were plenty of dishes for people who are not especially fond of raw fish too.

### Sweet shrimp and crispy shrimp heads

There were so many things that I did not know where to begin! The main assorted sashimi was coming out, and in the meantime the shrimp had almost finished grilling. These shrimp that had been alive like this

cooked up beautifully.

![Table spread with cooked shrimp](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-champagne-corkage-seafood-set/mapo-champagne-corkage-seafood-set-17-18h74-900.webp)

My boyfriend peeled every shrimp for me, so I could eat them comfortably!! They were good dipped in chojang (sweet-tangy chili vinegar sauce), but they were sweet even without any sauce at all. Live shrimp really are different!!

If you ask a staff member, they take the heads inside and fry them. Crispy and pleasantly salty—shrimp heads really are best grilled or fried!!

### Live flounder, red seabream, rockfish, and jeomseongeo

The four kinds of live fish were flounder, jeomseongeo, rockfish, and red seabream. Raw shrimp and sliced gizzard shad with the bones left in came with them too, so does that not look like such a complete spread?

![Live flounder, jeomseongeo, rockfish, and red seabream sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/mapo-champagne-corkage-seafood-set/mapo-champagne-corkage-seafood-set-21-fuuw6-900.webp)

They said they use fish over 2 kg for the flounder and red seabream in particular, and perhaps the saying that bigger fish taste better exists for a reason. They had that fresh, springy texture unique to live fish, with a charm quite different from aged sashimi. The red seabream was prepared with the skin left on, making its chewy texture even more pronounced, and it became nuttier the more we chewed.

## A spicy maeuntang finish

Of course, we finished with maeuntang (spicy fish stew). It was generously filled with vegetables such as crown daisy, radish, and green onion, plus a flounder head, and there was more meat to pick off than I expected. After simmering it over low heat for a while, the broth was so refreshing and spicy that, even though we were full, I kept scooping up spoonfuls. It already felt like a hangover cure.

Ramen noodles are usually essential in maeuntang, but we were so full that day that I could not bring myself to order them, which was a shame. Still, we enjoyed a proper seafood feast right through that filling final stew.

We had a satisfying time enjoying generous seasonal seafood close to Daeheung Station in Mapo, along with free corkage. If you are looking for a place to have a drink with seafood, I recommend Jaecheoldameun Mapo Bada.
