Blue crab is a treasure bred and raised by the West Sea. Spring crabs are said to be the most delicious, but the best season for blue crab enthusiasts is right now in the fall. Autumn crab is a very cost-effective ingredient because it makes you fat, sweet, and inexpensive. It's delicious whether you just steam it and enjoy it, whether you put it in the soup to enjoy the rich broth, or marinate it in soy sauce and enjoy it as crab. Here are five seasonal crab restaurants in Seoul.
1. Yeouido's 'Moon Night Crab Soup', a flower crab soup that is in harmony with freshness and coolness

Specializing in a variety of seafood dishes, including blue crab dishes. We use blue crab from Yeonpyeong-do, which is the best of all domestic blue crabs because the crab is big and fleshy. You can enjoy the cool flavor of adding red pepper to the miso-based broth. Here, when the rich flavor of the blue crab spreads all over the soup, it makes a loud “loud†sound even if you eat just one bite. It's also good to serve it with ramen sari, and don't forget to add fried rice as a finishing touch.

A place where you can enjoy a variety of dishes made with fresh blue crab imported from the west coast. It's a place where only living creatures cook, except during the taboo season, so it's satisfying no matter when you visit. The signature menu, “Steamed blue crab,†steams blue crab dried from the aquarium with steam at the same time as ordering. Blue crab, which is in season, is large in size and has a good yield, has a unique sweetness every time the plump flesh is chewed.

Along with the nearby delicacies of soy sauce crab, it is one of the best soy sauce crab restaurants in Seoul. Blue crabs, which are full of chewy flesh and orange-colored entrails that are easy to eat, have the unique flavor of pickled crab without being salty. The size of the crab is large, so it's good to put rice in the carcass and grate it. Side dishes such as persimmons, dried seaweed, cod roe, steamed kimchi, and grilled fish are also gorgeous, and a bowl of rice alone can't beat the Avengers.

Located at the intersection of Balsan Station, the restaurant on the 2nd floor stands out for its glass windows and spacious interior, where you can eat comfortably. Various steamed dishes such as steamed blue crab, steamed seafood, and steamed agu are representative dishes. Steamed blue crab, which is made by adding plenty of crunchy bean sprouts with large blue crab, has an addictive spicy seasoning. Side dishes include salad, seaweed soup, and steamed egg custard, which is great for neutralizing the spiciness. The seasoned fried rice is also a must-try.

“Jumbo†is one of the best places to eat during a trip to Singapore. Using Dunginess crab from the Pacific coast of North America, you can choose from three cooking methods: chili, black pepper, and ginger stir fry. The signature dish, “Chili Crab,†is the perfect combination of the tender and savory crab and the sweet and spicy chili sauce. I recommend ordering egg fried rice and eating it with a crab flavored sauce.
