Dalseo, Daegu mackerel restaurant: set portions & banchan, Geumdeungeo
Geumdeungeo Dalseo Branch (금등어 달서구 직영점) is a Korean set-meal restaurant on the 3rd floor of Jincheon Mat Town in Dalseo, Daegu, serving brick-oven mackerel with rice cooked in a stone pot. At Geumdeungeo the writer had the Geumdeungeo rice pot set and the neopttigi yukjeon (pan-fried beef) set, which come together for ₩21,000, plus ₩8,000 seasoned cockles; the koji-salt-aged mackerel, grilled in a 400-degree oven, was moist with no fishy taste, but the portions were so big the meal left everyone very full. Verdict: unless you really want the neopttigi or yukjeon, the Geumdeungeo rice pot set alone is plenty.
