Hansanseom Sikdang 한산섬식당

It is called maeuntang, spicy fish stew, yet hardly any chili goes in, so the broth stays clear and lightly seasoned. Come expecting a fiery red stew and it will taste plain. Bolrak maeuntang holds a whole wild rockfish whose soft flesh you pick off the bone and eat with rice, while jwichi maeuntang, made with filefish, uses the same clear broth with firmer flesh. The stews can be ordered one portion at a time, and adding grilled rockfish gives you the same fish in soup and off the grill. The side dishes of dressed oysters and stir-fried fish cake get eaten too.
