Haeundae grill restaurant with cheese-topped shellfish: Hyejane San

If you're visiting Haeundae, Busan, you can't skip fresh seafood and spicy-sweet hagfish, right??? Today I went to Hyejane San Gomjangeo Main Branch, which is all the buzz near Haeundae Market~~ No need to agonize over what to order — they have a solid set menu you can mix and match to your taste, which made things so much easier 🌊

Where Hyejane San Gomjangeo is, and what the restaurant feels like

Hyejane San Gomjangeo Main Branch turned out to be right near Haeundae Traditional Market!!

The tank by the entrance was packed with live hagfish and fresh clams — fun just to look at haha. The place was already buzzing with people right from the entrance, so I walked in feeling good!!

On top of the flashy entrance,

even the interior felt like a café!! Doesn't it kind of look like a Bali café? hahaha

Already packed with people...

There's group seating too, so it seemed perfect for tourists or company dinners!!

Even the restroom is like a photo zone, so I snapped a shot haha

What the Pick 2 (Small) set includes: grilled shellfish and hagfish

We went with the 'Pick 2 (Small)' set, which lets you taste the two signature dishes in one go, and picked clam grill and gomjangeo (hagfish) as our combo~~

Even though it's the budget-friendly small size, the spread came out generous just like the restaurant's name suggests!! Everything was fresh and paired well, mood: up!!

Scallops and comb pen shells under melted cheese

First they set the clams over the charcoal, and the plump scallops and mussel-clams came piled with savory cheese and seasoning.

Looks like solid quality right off the bat, doesn't it? I liked that there were more varieties of clams than I expected. Staff grill the first round for you~

Even eating them with the free cheese piled on top, it was so good..💕 No fishy taste at all, just fresh!!

The clams themselves were such good quality that whatever you grilled tasted great! Dipped in vinegar-chili sauce, no need to say more~

Chewy seasoned hagfish, spicy and sweet

They showed us the hagfish first before the pre-searing

Once we'd enjoyed the clam grill for a while, the spicy-sweet seasoned and stir-fried hagfish made its appearance! The timing was spot on haha

The hagfish kept its chewy, springy texture, and the seasoning was just the right spicy-sweet balance — really delicious. The kind of flavor that makes you want to mix it into rice

Wrapped up like this, it was gone before I knew it ㅠㅠㅠ so sad. You all know it's best with perilla leaf and garlic piled on top, right? Since this dish is a bit spicy, wrapping it in a lettuce parcel is the perfect match~~ No earthy taste at all, just chewy and really tasty haha
