These days, my body shrinks from the cold wind. It reminds me of a soup dish that will warm my stomach. Among them, spicy fish stew, which is boiled with plump fish in spicy soup, is perfect for drinking and side dishes. Here are five spicy fish stew restaurants nationwide that will warm up your stomach before Dongjang-gun comes.
Spicy fish stew restaurant.
If you don’t know this house at Gwangjang Market, you can find a spy in Seoul called “은성횟집”
은성횟집, which sells only Daegu spicy fish stew as a single menu. The name is raw fish restaurant, but I am confident in spicy fish stew enough to sell only Daegu spicy fish stew as a single menu. Basic side dishes are also simple with kimchi and salted squid, but it is not regrettable at all with spicy fish stew. The fragrant water parsley rises to stimulate the appetite and is rich in eggs and swans. The soup with freshwater shrimp is cool and rich. Daegu, which is full of flesh, is fun to eat with meat. The more you boil it, the more delicious the soup comes out. It’s a perfect spicy fish stew in Daegu, but you can’t help but drink soju when you eat it.

“청솔가든” a song that appeared in Heo Young-man’s comic book,
청솔가든, a freshwater fish restaurant located by the river overlooking the Boseong River in Gokseong. You can taste a variety of dishes made of sweetfish and blue crabs caught in the Seomjingang River and Boseonggang River. The sea urchin soup is a combination of blue crab, soybean paste, siregi, and perilla powder to create a rich and savory taste. The crab is not big, but it is filling and the more you chew, the more savory and sweet it tastes. The blue crab sujebi, which can only be eaten by making a reservation for a daily limited sale, is made by finely grinding natural blue crab into a mortar and mixing it well with pre-empted blue crab eggs, so it has a savory and cool taste without fishy taste.

“메기일번지” Ilsan’s famous catfish spicy soup restaurant with 30 years of experience.
“메기일번지” in Ilsan, which uses vegetables grown by itself and catfish caught by fishermen at Gunnam Dam on the Imjin River. The side dishes made by the owner with good hands vary slightly from day to day, but they are always the same delicious. Catfish spicy stew, which has a cool soup filled with barley shrimp, is a tip to take out vegetables and boil catfish more when it boils. This is because vegetables taste bad when they are ripe, and catfish taste less when they are half-cooked. If you eat slightly cooked vegetables first, and even ripe plump catfish, you put sujebi in it. Sujebi is an unlimited refill. If you’re not busy, the owner will take off the sujebi and put it in for you. Sujebi, which is eaten in a spicy and cool soup, is a perfect finish.

Jeju’s “몰질식육식당” selected as the 2021 Jeju Mepiesta restaurant.
Moljil is Jeju’s “몰질식육식당” a local restaurant steamed with Jeju dialect, which means “the road to drive horses around.” Although it was known as a jjamppong restaurant as one of the three greatest kings of Jongwon Baek, it is famous as a blowfish restaurant to locals. It uses raw blowfish, not frozen, to boil geography and spicy fish stew. As raw blowfish is used, fish flesh is soft and precious blowfish such as pudding can also be eaten. The spicy soup is cool without much seasoning. The clear-boiled geography has a clean and light taste. The sauce that comes with it also enhances the taste of blowfish.

Danyang’s “그집쏘가리” with an honest taste that has been handed down for two generations.
Danyang’s “그집쏘가리” which has been maintaining its taste for 30 years with honesty using only domestic biological sagari. Spicy fish stew is boiled using mandarin fish, a famous specialty in Danyang along the Namhangang River. Sogari, called the king of freshwater fish, has fewer thorns and can feel a chewy and soft texture like Korean beef. A generous spicy fish stew with water parsley, mushrooms, potatoes, and radishes is a good visual first. The spicy but non-stimulating soup tastes better the more you boil it. If you make a reservation over the phone and visit, grilled sand deodeok and Olgaengi pajeon are services, which is a tip not to miss.
