In Jeonju, a city without a sea,

Hoechonggak, a raw fish restaurant in Jeonju Sinshigaji, brings the harbor right to you.

With its retro interior and

decor that makes it feel like

fishing nets have just been pulled from the sea,

it's absolutely captivating!

Hoechonggak's Interior Atmosphere

I wanted to be among the first to visit this new raw fish restaurant,

but it seems I've been beaten to the punch!

How does everyone find out about these new openings so quickly?

You're all amazing, truly incredible!

I entered to the enthusiastic greetings of the 'crew' (?)

who welcomed me aboard the 'Chonggak-ho' (Bachelor's Ship).

All the 'Chonggak' (bachelors, referring to the staff) were wearing fishing vests

as their uniforms – a really clever touch!

The entire front of the restaurant was wide open,

which gave it a wonderful sense of openness.

Wandering through the fishy-smelling pier,

as if it were my own world,

I live another day fearlessly with my two fists.

Don't call me cowardly,

even if I wander through dirty back alleys.

If you know this song,

it might be time for a health check-up! 😉

It really captures the feel of a retro street food stall by the pier,

but the best part is that it's surprisingly clean!

There's even a neighborhood 'Sarangbang' (사랑방) real estate office, which acts as a community hub.

In front of the Sarangbang, there's V!

Taehyung, I love you 💜

Hite Jinro (하이트 진로) is the best!

And there's also 'Sonny' (Son Heung-min, 손흥민)!

Equipped with bait, ice, fishing gear, cigarettes, and general goods,

the 'Chonggak Super' is also apparently open for business! (?)

You can even grab some simple snacks,

just ask a staff member! 😉

It really feels like you need to buy bait before heading out for sea fishing. LOL.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Delicious Aged Raw Fish and Seasonal Seafood in Jeonju

Hoechonggak, a Raw Fish Restaurant in Sinshigaji

Assorted aged raw fish and seafood, live shrimp, sea urchin,

salted grilled shrimp,

steamed blue crab, spicy blue crab salad, and more –

all the delicious anju (drinking snacks) are right here!

We ordered assorted aged raw fish, Byeolbit Cheongha (별빛청하) / Coke,

and added ankimo (anglerfish liver).

Add ankimo and discover a whole new world of flavor! 🌟

Provided as a basic service (banchan):

Dubu-kimchi (두부김치) and a refreshing soup.

Even the tableware felt brand new!

Kicking off with Byulbich Cheongha!

Review of the New Hoechonggak (회총각) Assorted Aged Raw Fish Menu

Assorted Aged Raw Fish, Small Size

This is the small size, really?!

True generosity simply can't be hidden,

and Hoechonggak's abundance is revealed just like that...

bringing even more honor!

But the owner here truly knows their stuff,

they provided Myeongran (pollock roe)

Mugeunji (aged kimchi)

Perilla leaf-wrapped flounder and salmon

Bibim Guksu (spicy mixed noodles)

Cup noodles

Grilled fish 🐟 (this one was a real kick!)

Shiitake mushroom wasabi, and more.

There were plenty of seasonings perfect for accompanying the raw fish.

Sweet shrimp, flounder, yellowtail, salmon, sea bream, red drum

There was also a delicate topping of Uni (sea urchin roe),

and the extra Ankimo (monkfish liver) was truly a winning combination with all the raw fish!

How to Enjoy Hoechonggak Deliciously

Wasabi ssam (wrap)

Myeongran (pollock roe) ssam (wrap)

Sushi rice

Bibim Guksu (spicy mixed noodles), and more

Ways to enjoy it deliciously?

If I hadn't known these delicious ways to eat, I might not have eaten so much like a 'pig,'

but since they were the owner's recommendations, I heartily indulged!

For the Kimchi (김치) cup noodles, generously topped with even more kimchi,

just tell them when you want to eat it, and they'll prepare the hot water then.

Overall Review of Hoechonggak

The fun of the retro interior,

the kindness of the staff,

delicious aged raw fish that doesn't compromise on quality, even for a drinking spot,

seasonal seafood menu,

and even the freshness of the seafood, which you can check directly in the tanks.

I'm even curious about the Steamed Blue Crab (꽃게찜) 🦀 now...

Congratulations on your new opening,

and may you become the most successful representative Jeonju New City District Hoejip! 〰️🐟💛
