## Euljiro Yeontan Gui in Ansan Wadong: why autumn means prawns and gizzard shad

I finally made it back to Euljiro Yeontan Gui in Ansan Wadong after a while. This is a place I've always loved whenever I've gone, so I drop by whenever I'm craving it — but this time, with autumn here, I tried something a bit special: salt-grilled king prawns and grilled gizzard shad (jeon-eo).

Autumn always makes me think of seasonal dishes like prawns and gizzard shad, and sure enough, the menu had both listed as fall specials. I'd come for the usual grilled meat, but the seasonal menu caught my eye, so this time I ordered both.

## Is 350g of salt-grilled king prawns enough for two?

We ordered 350g of salt-grilled king prawns along with the grilled gizzard shad. Between the two of us, the portion turned out to be more than enough. With 350g of prawns plus the gizzard shad, we didn't even need to add another dish — it was a pretty filling meal as it was.

The salt-grilled king prawns were genuinely delicious. Prawns tend to get dry and tough if overcooked, but here the owner kept coming by to check on how they were doing. Instead of just leaving them on the fire and letting us fend for ourselves, he watched the timing carefully, so the meat came out moist and springy.

Peeling the shell off a perfectly cooked prawn and finding the meat packed full was so satisfying. Since it's salt-grilled, the seasoning wasn't overdone, and you could really taste the prawn itself. If you love prawns, grilling them properly like this is definitely the way to go.

Adding buttered heads to the salt-grilled king prawns costs an extra ₩3,000, and of course we added it. The plain salt-grilled prawns are delicious enough on their own, but that final buttered-head bite is always magic.

## Does the gizzard shad at Euljiro Yeontan Gui come already grilled?

And of course, no autumn meal is complete without grilled gizzard shad. It came out fully cooked, so there was no need to grill it ourselves — we could dig right in. The outside was nicely grilled while the inside stayed moist, making it perfect with rice.

Both dishes were so good that we plowed through two bowls of rice in no time. With the prawns and the gizzard shad both hitting the spot, we just kept reaching for more rice. Honestly, with a scoop of gizzard shad meat over rice, you barely needed any other side dishes.

## Grilling self-serve bean sprouts and kimchi over the charcoal

One thing you can't skip at Euljiro Yeontan Gui is the self-serve bar. You can help yourself to various side dishes and vegetables, and this time we grabbed bean sprouts and kimchi from the bar to grill over the charcoal.

We drizzled a bit of sesame oil on the bean sprouts and grilled them over the charcoal, and they were surprisingly good. They'd probably go great with grilled meat too, but alongside our fish and rice, having grilled bean sprouts and kimchi to switch things up every so often was really nice.

The subtle smoky charcoal aroma soaked in gave the bean sprouts a totally different feel from the raw version. Eating grilled fish alone can get a bit heavy after a while, but pairing it with grilled kimchi and bean sprouts kept things enjoyable all the way through.

## Prices and portions at Euljiro Yeontan Gui Ansan Wadong

Checking the menu, the grilled gizzard shad is 5-6 pieces for ₩18,000, and the king prawns can be ordered by weight. Our combo of 350g of prawns plus the gizzard shad was more than enough for two. At first I wondered if it might not be enough, but between that and the rice, we ended up leaving quite full.

## Is this Ansan charcoal grill worth a return trip this autumn?

What I liked most, above all, was that the food itself was genuinely delicious. I ordered the seasonal menu thinking I'd just give it a try, but both the prawns and the gizzard shad turned out more satisfying than expected. I especially appreciated that the owner kept checking on the prawns so the meat stayed full and juicy without being overcooked.

Euljiro Yeontan Gui is a place I usually go to for grilled meat, but after trying the seasonal menu this time, I think ordering the salt-grilled king prawns and gizzard shad together is a great idea if you're visiting in autumn. They've also got a wide variety of meat dishes and a solid side-dish and self-serve bar setup, so it'd be great for a group looking to order both meat and seasonal dishes together.

That day, we ate our fill of prawns, gizzard shad, and rice and left very happy. Honestly, polishing off two bowls of rice because both dishes were that good pretty much sums up the meal. 😂

It's always a place where the food feels good every time I visit, and this time getting to properly try the autumn menu made it even more satisfying. Whether you're craving charcoal-grilled meat in Ansan Wadong or want to enjoy seasonal dishes like prawns and gizzard shad in the fall, Euljiro Yeontan Gui Ansan Wadong Branch is a great choice either way.
