Seoul restaurant Spicy fish stew and free flavoured crabs at Busan Sikdang.

Spicy fish stew at Busan Sikdang in Insadong.


A traditional town Insadon. There are a lot of little-known restaurants on small backstreets there. If you explore the streets, you might find a great spot for eating.
Busan Sikdang is one of the those restaurants that not many people know about.
Busan Sikdang has a small singboard, and no menu board in front of the restaurant. So looking outside of the place, you couldn’t tell that is a restaurant.
You will see there’s no tourist and local citizens wait outside the restaurant around lunchtime to eat hot stew made of fish.
The most popular menu is Saengtae tang, a fish stew. The spicy stew contains cuts of pollack and inner parts of the fish, vetegables including big pieces of radish, tofu and so on.
Very soft and hot rice is made when customers come in the restaurant. So you need to be patient until the rice is ready.


Free refilles on crabs
Not only the stew with plenty of vegetables, but also free side dishes attract local citizens and office workers.
The daily side dishes always contain gaejang, flavored crabs. The side dish goes with a bowl of rice.
