🐟 Yeongdeok Hoe Sikdang: A Classic Raw Fish Spot in Chungmuro's Print Alley
Tucked away in Chungmuro's historic print alley, Yeongdeok Hoe Sikdang is a beloved old-school seafood joint famous for its fresh makhoe (rustic raw fish salad), tender parboiled octopus, and seasonal gwamegi (semi-dried saury).
If you want to experience authentic Korean-style raw fish in a cozy, local spot during your trip to Seoul, head to Yeongdeok Hoe Sikdang near Chungmuro Station, Exit 8.
Their main draw, makhoe, pairs sliced herring and flatfish with fresh, crunchy vegetables and a house-made dipping sauce, giving it a deliciously tangy, savory, and refreshing flavor profile.
The tender parboiled octopus is another favorite among regular guests. Stop by at lunch for their satisfying raw fish bibimbap, or try the ice-chilled raw fish soup during the summer.
