Namwon Nondureong Chueotang 남원논두렁추어탕

The chueotang is made the Namwon way, with loach ground fine and simmered thick, and the perilla powder on the table goes in at will. Of the side dishes, the scallion kimchi suits the broth best. Ask and they will top up your broth. Fried loach, ordered on the side, is crisp outside but mild inside and gets dipped in soy sauce, and the rolled omelet comes out thick.
