Samsam Goroke is a croquette shop in Sokcho Jungang Market, Gangwon, serving Sokcho-inspired fillings such as red crab and Abai sundae. I took a 6-piece, six-flavor set to the seafront and ended up finishing every last one. For a Sokcho travel snack, the ₩17,000 set is a great way to try them all.
Palpal Hoesenta Sokcho Daepo Port Market Branch is a seafood restaurant at Daepo Port Fish Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. The two-person snow crab set kept the table filling up with Dokdo shrimp, mulhoe, assorted sashimi, and crab-shell fried rice. Verdict: come hungry for a truly overflowing seafood meal.
Moana Burger is a handmade burger restaurant in Chodang-dong, Gangneung, Gangwon. We shared the Moana Burger and Hawaiian Burger with hot fries and Budweiser draft beer. Verdict: a fun burger-and-beer stop on a Gangneung trip.
Hwangbuja Twigim is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon, serving freshly fried seafood and sundae. I took an assorted fried platter to go and opened it straight away in the car, with the crispy-chewy nurungji squid sundae as the highlight. Verdict: a must-try for an unusual market fry-up in Sokcho.
