It is said that the bigger the fish, the better the flavor. Unlike other types of fish that lose their flavor and aroma when they exceed a certain size, it is said that the bigger the yellowtail, the better the flavor. Yellowtail, which is a typical red fish and is characterized by being high in fat, is rich in vitamin D and is said to help prevent osteoporosis and aging. Yellowtail has a different appeal, similar to tuna. Here are some yellowtail restaurants that have become more chewy and savory for the season, where you can enjoy different flavors and textures depending on the part.
1. Fresh Bangko Sai, Jongno 'Fresh Seafood Country'
A place where sashimi is made from yellowtail and mackerel that are sent directly from Jeju Island every day. The signature menu is fresh âlive mackerelâ and âyellowtail sashimiâ that is in season. For those who want to enjoy both yellowtail and mackerel, there is also a âkago-sashimiâ where you can enjoy both yellowtail and mackerel, so you can enjoy it in a variety of ways according to your preferences. The savory yellowtail sashimi is delicious even if you eat it alone, but if you eat it with a sweet and sour buttercup sauce, it captures the fatty flavor of the yellowtail and you can enjoy it even more deliciously. For yellowtail, which has a slightly different flavor and texture from part to part, you can eat it by dipping it in samjang and wrapping it in a fragrant sesame leaf. The mackerel sashimi, which has the same vividness as if it were eaten in Jeju without a fishy flavor, is also popular.

2. Jeju Defense Full Course, Udo 'Hoeyang and Guksu Gun'
âHoeyang and Noodle Groupâ where you can enjoy a full course of fresh yellowtail. The seasonal menu, yellowtail, can only be enjoyed from October to May of the following year. The defensive course, which is only available during the defensive season, includes sashimi, grilled head, hoeguksu, fish paste, and spicy soup, so you can enjoy it to the fullest. Please note that the grilled head may change to grilled mackerel due to circumstances. Other popular menus include sweet and sour âhoeguksuâ and âstone octopus seafood soupâ that can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons. The stone octopus seafood soup, which conveys the fresh taste of Jeju's sea, is a refreshing soup made by putting a live stone octopus in various seafood such as abalone, mussels, shrimp, and conch.

â²Location: 2473-9 Yeonpyeong-ri, Udo-myeon, Jeju-si, Jeju-do â²Opening hours: Every day from 10:30 to 21:00, open all year round â²Price: Defense meeting (for 2 people) 50,000 won, 60,000 won for 3 people â²Review (Shikigami Mirae TV Class): If you eat the defense session for 100,000 won, if you eat 60,000 won, you will get courses such as hoeguksu, jeon, spicy soup, and grilled head! Hoeguksu is also delicious.
3. Enjoy Jeju City's âMarado Sashimi Restaurantâ with one plate
A sashimi shop located near Jeju Grand Hotel and offers yellowtail dishes caught in the waters near Marado during the yellowtail season. If you order a plate of yellowtail, you will be offered a variety of cuts such as belly fat, back thighs, and fins, but belly fat that is full of oil is a real delicacy. Thanks to this, belly fat plates, which can only be used for oversized protection, are popular even though they are relatively expensive. If you wrap rice, kimchi, and cheongyang pepper on the seaweed that is served separately on request, you can enjoy it even more deliciously. Crispy grilled bones and grilled yellowtail are also a delicacy, which is fun to eat. Please note that when yellowtail is not in season, they sell other types of sashimi such as sea bream and dagumbari.

â²Location: 262-10 Yeon-dong, Jeju-si, Jeju-do â²Business hours: 17:00 to 24:00 every day, closed irregularly â²Price: Yellowtail belly plate 150,000 won, plate 45,000 won â²Testimonial (Euisook Shin): Since it is a place that sells fish caught right from day to day, the characteristic and advantage is that it doesn't always have a fixed menu. It is said that even for the same fish, the price varies depending on how much is caught on the day. The store is also small, so when customers come in, the owner kindly tells them the fish of the day. I recommend it to those who just want to eat sashimi without skidashi!! By the way, fried anchovies are also delicious.
4. Daebangsai specialty store, 'Sea Company Hall' in Yeonnam-dong
It is famous for its defensive circuit in Yeonnam-dong, and recently opened a second store in Hongdae. Nevertheless, the meal time is limited to 2 hours due to waiting, so it's a good idea to keep in mind when visiting. The most popular menu item is âdefensive sashimi,â which is cut into thick slices and served generously. The flavor of savory yellowtail sashimi is excellent when eaten with wasabi and radish sprouts on the rice that is served with a little bit of soy sauce. Fatty yellowtail sashimi is a delicacy even when eaten with well-cooked jelly. It is characterized by being able to enjoy it in various forms according to individual preferences. Please note that during the season when yellowtail is not in season, you can also enjoy other seafood such as salmon, fresh shrimp sashimi, and grilled fish. Spicy hot water can be added for 7,000 won.

The quantity comes out well and the service is great. If you want to eat really tasty yellowtail and croaker, visit. There's not much else. An additional spicy bath costs 7,000 won.
5. Daemulim Gourmet, Moseulpo's 'Wharf Restaurant'
âWharf Restaurantâ located in Hamori is a typical Daemulim restaurant that has continued the tradition of flavors for 44 years, and âzamuliâ is the most popular menu here from mid-March to early July, and âyellowtailâ is the most popular menu here. The thick yellowtail sashimi, which can be enjoyed for 25,000 won per person, is characterized by its soft texture. The belly fat, which is cut to the navel, has a rich flavor that becomes richer as you chew it. Rather than soy sauce, you can enjoy it even more deliciously by wrapping it in lettuce topped with garlic and red pepper. Yellowtail is also a delicacy, which has a refreshing flavor because it doesn't contain much fat compared to lean meat. Ramen sari can also be added.
