Haeundae soy crab restaurant: female crab set meal for two at Haemakki

Masan Genakjjim Haemakki Ganjang Gejang (마산게낙찜.해마끼 간장게장) is a ganjang gejang (soy-marinated raw crab) restaurant on the 2nd floor of the Pale de CZ Condo in front of Haeundae Beach, Busan, run for over 30 years under its former name, Masan Genakjjim. Two of the medium female crab set meals (₩45,000 per person) brought a deep, savory soy sauce that was neither salty nor fishy, crabs packed with meat and rich, nutty innards. Haemakki Ganjang Gejang is a great stop on a Haeundae trip for a proper soy crab meal followed by a walk along the beach.

Haeundae hagfish restaurant: large half-and-half for two, Hyejane San

Hyejane San Gomjangeo Main Branch (혜자네 산곰장어 본점) is a live hagfish and grilled clam restaurant inside Haeundae Market in Haeundae, Busan. On a Haeundae trip, two of us shared a large half-salt, half-spicy live hagfish plate for dinner: the salt-grilled hagfish was clean and mild with no fishy taste, and the spicy seasoned hagfish was lightly hot rather than just sweet. At Hyejane San Gomjangeo, order salt-grilled to taste the hagfish itself, or the large half-and-half to try both.

Boksakkot Pineun Jip Daejeon Branch (복사꽃피는집 대전점) is a fire-grilled webfoot octopus (jjukkumi) restaurant near Sutonggol in Yuseong, Daejeon.

Because the Boksakkot jjuchipa pasta comes as plain extra noodles with no sauce, it suits noodle lovers, while everyone else is better off with the octopus-and-cheese combo.
