Yes Susan is a red snow crab and king crab takeout shop at the entrance to Sokcho Jungang Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I took home a ₩25,000 red snow crab lunch box and an ₩8,000 marinated crab fried rice lunch box; the prepared crab made eating and cleanup easier, though the shop had sold out on a weekend evening.
Yes Susan is a seafood stall in Sokcho Central Market, Gangwon. On the second day of my trip, I took a two-crab red snow crab lunchbox and two fried rices back to my accommodation; the crab was easy to eat and the fried rice was nutty, though the market was crowded and king crab lunchboxes had sold out.
Sinhaeburi Hoejip is a seafood restaurant on Daepo-hang-gil in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ordered the small assorted sashimi platter during my trip. It came with flounder, olive flounder, mullet, yellowtail, mulhoe, and plentiful seafood sides; I was too full to try the included spicy fish stew.
Hwangbuja Twigim (황부자튀김) is a Korean restaurant in Sokcho Central Market serving squid sundae and fried foods. I ordered Set No. 12 with nurungji ojingeo sundae and Abai sundae; there was a wait, but the crisp exterior and moist filling held up well even after some time.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant on Seonsa-ro 2-gil in Sokcho, where I ordered a red snow crab soy-marinated crab set meal and a soy-marinated shrimp set meal. With pot-cooked rice and a wide range of side dishes, it was a filling meal; the spacious parking area was also convenient, though hinoki-steamed dishes require advance reservations.
Sokcho Jungang Sanghoe is a seafood restaurant in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ordered a medium soy-braised skate for three and rice. The mildly sweet, non-spicy sauce and tender fish suited a family meal, and there was plenty for three, though cooking took 15–20 minutes after ordering.
Sokcho Daeilho Bangeo is a wild-caught and aged sashimi restaurant in Sokcho Jungang Market. While traveling with my niece, I took belly sushi and halibut mukgeunji salt gimbap back to our accommodation; the rich sushi and tangy, crisp aged kimchi made a satisfying pairing.
Ichiba Ramen (이찌바라멘) is a ramen restaurant near the Yeongrang-dong pocha area in Sokcho, where we stopped for lunch before heading to the sea. The spicy Kara Ramen had a rich broth and firm noodles, while the chashu rice bowl was especially refreshing with ginger.
Jinmi Hwal-eo Center is a sashimi shop in basement unit 145 of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. My husband and I took farmed assorted sashimi for two and one squid back to our accommodation; the portions were generous and the texture was pleasantly chewy, though cleanup was left to us.
Jinmi Hwareo Center is a sashimi restaurant at the underground entrance of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. We packed a two-person farmed amberjack and flounder platter to eat at our accommodation, and liked the generous portion and thick-cut texture.
Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant in Joyang-dong, Sokcho, where I had soy-marinated red crab and shrimp set meals. The individual pot rice, varied side dishes, spacious parking, and a reserved six-person room made the meal comfortable, and the soy sauce tasted less salty than it looked to me.
Sokcho Jungang Sanghoe is a seafood restaurant near Sokcho Jungang Market in Sokcho, Gangwon. I ordered the small Pro Gaeorijjim, enjoyed the tender skate and sauce-coated corn noodles, and found the clean dining room pleasant for a meal with family or a partner.
