Gogwang Haemultang

The port city of Busan is rich in seafood, and one of its most popular dishes is seafood hotpot filled with crab, shrimp, squid, shellfish, and other seafood. Gogwang Haemultang, a seafood hotpot specialty restaurant popular among Busan locals, is located about a five-minute walk from Busanjin Station on Busan Subway Line 1. 

When you enter Gogwang Haemultang, a two-story restaurant located on the main street, the delicious smell of fish broth fills the restaurant, whetting your appetite. As soon as you open the lid of the pot placed on the dining table, you'll be surprised to see so much seafood overflowing from the pot, but it also contains a lot of vegetables such as large radishes and bean sprouts, and the light seafood broth made by the seafood and vegetables is a masterpiece.

 When ordering seafood hotpot, if you ask for it to be less spicy, they will make it just right. Also, once the hotpot is boiling, the ajumoni (auntie) at the restaurant will cut it into bite-sized pieces with scissors, which is nice! Don't forget to finish off with fried rice made with a rich seafood broth! If you love seafood, why not try Gogwang Haemultang, a Korean seafood hotpot?
