Sokcho Korean restaurant for families: Jin Seiromushi seafood set meals

Jin Seiromushi is a Korean restaurant on Seonsa-ro 2-gil in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ate marinated red snow crab and shrimp set meals with my 34-month-old child. The adults ate the seafood, while my child ate the grilled fish, bulgogi, and other side dishes; the crab was not too salty for my taste, and the roomy seating and high chair made the meal easier.

I picked up a ₩25,000 two-red-snow-crab lunchbox and a flying-fish-roe marinated-crab fried-rice set to share with other market foods; the prepared crab was convenient, though our bag had no utensils or disposable gloves.

Ramen in Sokcho: tonkotsu to red snow crab cream at Ichiba Ramen

Ichiba Ramen is a ramen restaurant on Jungang-ro in Sokcho, Gangwon, where I ate three different bowls with my husband and mother-in-law after visiting Yeongnangho Lake. The rich tonkotsu, cool hiyashi chuka, and smooth red snow crab roe cream ramen were distinct enough to share, though I wished I had known about the review event before ordering extra toppings.

Sokcho seafood takeout: a two-red-snow-crab lunchbox

This seafood takeout shop is at the start of the food alley in Sokcho Jungang Market, Sokcho. On a family trip, I took a ₩28,000 lunchbox with two red snow crabs back to our accommodation and ate it with other market foods. The leg meat was fuller than expected and the crab shell and innards were neatly packed, though I wished it included a small packet of sesame oil for rice.
