“Sea Hoesarang” in Yeonnam-dong is known as the mecca of defensive meetings due to the weighting that lengthens during the defensive season. The signature menu is “Daifang,” which comes in thick, pink slices. The house's defenses are directly dismantled and provided with a variety of parts. The characteristic is that lemon is sprinkled on the yellowtail to catch the fishy smell. You can enjoy yellowtail to your heart's content according to your own preferences, such as how to enjoy yellowtail as sushi by putting seaweed and radish sprouts on it, and how to put washed kimchi on top and eat it as a samgō. In particular, when eaten with kimchi and yellowtail, the oil unique to yellowtail and fresh, fresh kimchi are a delicacy. The “Great Butters+ Salmon” menu that comes with salmon sashimi is also very popular. Please note that the meal time is limited to 2 hours. The wait may be long, and the second store is located 10 minutes away. Flying fish roe sushi is free if you add it once, and there is an additional cost thereafter.
