## A Suwon spot for grilled fish and sashimi together

If you love grilled fish, this is a place worth keeping an eye on! This time, I visited Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda Suwon Branch (고등어명품이되다 수원점), a popular grilled-fish spot in Suwon :) There were so many kinds of fish and plenty of side dishes too, so I left after a really satisfying meal.

First up, here is the exterior of Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda. The large sign made it easy to find. Since it offers everything from grilled fish to sashimi, I went in feeling excited, haha.

Inside, it was neatly decorated and had a comfortable atmosphere for a meal. It also looked like a nice place for families to come for grilled fish.
There was even coffee available to enjoy after eating. Such a nice little touch—you can fill up on a meal and still grab a cup of coffee :)

## Ordering mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cutlassfish

When I visited, there was also a special set-meal discount. It was reduced from ₩32,000 to ₩29,000, so keep that in mind if you want a generous set meal.
Looking over the menu, there were honestly far more choices than I expected. As you would hope from a grilled-fish specialist, there were many types of fish to choose from.

Beyond grilled mackerel, you could choose grilled Spanish mackerel, grilled cutlassfish, and more depending on your preference. If you come with several people, it would be great to order one of each and share.
There were also rice-friendly dishes besides grilled fish, such as braised fish and gochujang bulgogi (spicy red-chili-paste marinated pork). It seems like choosing a menu would not be difficult even with someone who is not especially fond of fish!
Sashimi and sushi were available too. I assumed this was a grilled-fish-only restaurant, but the menu had quite a lot of options.
After much deliberation, we ordered grilled mackerel, Spanish mackerel, and cutlassfish. It would have been a shame to have just one, so we sampled every kind, haha.

## A self-serve bar with sides all the way to sikhye

After ordering, I also looked around the self-serve bar. Everything from the utensils we needed to condiments was neatly set out, making it easy to use.
There was kimchi, which you simply cannot leave out with grilled fish. They had both napa cabbage kimchi and yeolmu kimchi (young-radish kimchi), so you could take whichever you preferred.

There were also side dishes that go nicely with fish, such as dressed acorn jelly and cucumber kimchi.

There were seasoned vegetables and other dressed side dishes too, so it was nice to take small portions and taste a variety of things.

Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) and bellflower root too! The self-serve bar had more side dishes than I expected, so I made sure to bring back plenty even before the grilled fish arrived, haha.

There was even sikhye (sweet rice punch). A cold glass after your meal would be perfect for cleansing your palate, right? :)

What I especially liked was the soothing seaweed soup and nutty sungnyung (scorched-rice water)! If you enjoy warm soup, I think you will be happy to see this corner.
Having the broth alongside rice and grilled fish made it feel like a proper full Korean table spread.

## Golden grilled fish and spicy gochujang bulgogi

And then, the cutlassfish we had been waiting for finally arrived ♡ It looked so appetizing from the moment I saw its beautifully golden grilled surface.

The mackerel and grilled Spanish mackerel arrived in big portions too! Their nicely browned exteriors were enough to make me crave rice right away.

We also had spicy gochujang bulgogi! It came topped generously with shredded scallions, which were great to eat with it. Taking a bite of spicy bulgogi between the grilled fish was a really nice combination.

Once every dish was on the table, it looked truly abundant, haha. Mackerel, Spanish mackerel, cutlassfish, rice, soup, and all those side dishes—it was the definition of a filling meal!

Up close, the fish portions were quite large too. Each type had slightly different flavor and texture, so it was fun comparing them one by one.

For the gochujang bulgogi, I picked up a proper bite with the shredded scallions too! Thanks to that spicy seasoning, this was absolutely a rice thief.
I also picked the flesh off the fish myself, and look how thickly it came away. Placed over rice, it confirmed once again that grilled fish and white rice are the best pairing ♡

I finished with the moist fish flesh! The outside was golden and nicely grilled, while the inside was thick and meaty, so I enjoyed it very much.
At Godeungeo Myeongpumi Doeda, I could try a good range of grilled fish and help myself to varied side dishes, seaweed soup, scorched-rice water, and sikhye. If you are craving a plentiful Korean meal or looking for a good restaurant in Homaesil or Gwonseon-gu for a meal with your parents, it could be worth a visit :)
