Haemiga 해미가

Haemiga is a flatfish mulhoe (chilled raw fish soup) specialist on Solol-ro in Gangneung, standing out from the traditional seaside raw fish restaurants in the area with its polished, modern interior. The mulhoe features exclusively gwangeo (flatfish) in a tangy-sweet broth with balanced umami - not overly sharp or spicy, yet compellingly flavorful - with a generous portion of fish that delivers strong value. Each mulhoe order arrives as a full set including thick, crispy vegetable jeon (widely noted as almost deep-fried in texture and the first dish to disappear), boiled pork (suyuk), miyeokguk (seaweed soup), somyeon noodles, and a small bowl of rice, making it more than sufficient for two diners. Additional options include gwangeo-eo-juk (flatfish porridge), which has drawn praise for exceeding expectations, and a special maeuntang set for those wanting variety. At under 20,000 won per person for this extensive spread, the value stands out even among Gangneung's competitive mulhoe scene. The restaurant is spacious with comfortable table spacing, but fills to capacity by 6 PM even on weekdays, and weekend waits can reach an hour. Early arrival or registering on the waitlist in advance is recommended. A dedicated parking lot is available but often fills up during dinner hours.
