Sokcho Jungang Market king crab lunchbox split three ways: Yes Susan
In short
Yes Susan is a red snow crab and king crab takeaway shop on the first floor of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market (Sokcho Jungang Market) in Sokcho, Gangwon, right beside the Hanaro Mart entrance. Three friends bought just one 38,000-won king crab lunchbox from Yes Susan and ate it as a late-night snack back at their accommodation, and the crab was cleaned so well that the meat slid out with a push of the hand, no scissors needed. For good-value crab to go alongside Sokcho market snacks, Yes Susan is the answer.

Yes Susan's live tanks, lunchbox menu and prices
Yes Susan's signature items are the king crab lunchbox at ₩38,000 (1 king crab) and the sweet red snow crab lunchbox at ₩25,000 (2 red snow crabs). The first thing that caught our eye when we arrived was the large, spotlessly maintained tank!
The water was really clean, and seeing the live crabs moving around so vigorously gave us a lot of confidence in the shop's hygiene. As a proper red snow crab specialist at Sokcho Jungang Market, the counter had prepared lunchbox samples neatly displayed. Here are the signature menu items and prices:
- 🦀 King crab lunchbox: ₩38,000 (1 king crab)
- 🦀 Sweet red snow crab lunchbox: ₩25,000 (2 red snow crabs)
Since this was a budget trip for the three of us and we planned to eat other market food too, we decided to just get one ₩38,000 king crab lunchbox! We briefly considered adding crab fried rice, but held back for the sake of the evening plans and more market food-hopping.
Watching other customers, a lot of them were also taking home the sweet red snow crab lunchbox at its amazing ₩25,000 price. Naver pickup reservations and nationwide courier delivery are also available, so it's worth ordering even if you're far away!
Opening the 38,000-won king crab lunchbox back at the room
The three of us split one king crab lunchbox from Yes Susan as a late-night snack, and the portion was just right. After finishing our market tour and eating plenty of delicious street food outside, we headed back to our accommodation and eagerly opened up the lunchbox we'd packed to go!
As soon as we opened the box, a savory, sweet aroma wafted out. We worried one lunchbox might not be enough for three people, but the legs and body were packed solid with meat — beyond our expectations! As a late-night snack alongside other food, the portion was exactly right.
What satisfied us most was how perfectly the crab had been prepped! Even without scissors or any tools at our accommodation, just pushing gently with our hands made the plump meat slide right out. We could pick apart the crab meat cleanly and comfortably without getting our hands messy.
The sweet, savory flavor unique to crab meat filled our mouths, and we thought — this is really what makes a local Sokcho favorite different! 🤤
Why Yes Susan is our pick for crab takeaway at Sokcho Jungang Market
If you're looking for a red snow crab favorite or a crab takeaway specialist at Sokcho Jungang Market, we strongly recommend Yes Susan — honest without price inflation, and perfectly prepped. Clean tank management, fair prices, and convenient pre-cleaned packaging all line up perfectly, so we're 200% planning to come back on our next Sokcho trip! 🩵
