Paldo Jeonbok Haemul Ttukbaegi is a clay pot seafood restaurant on Changhae-ro in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, recognized as one of the original establishments in the region for abalone ttukbaegi. The signature abalone seafood ttukbaegi features a broth that is simultaneously refreshing and clean, loaded with an abundant assortment of mussels, abalone, clams, blue crab, and scallops. A subtle hint of herbal ingredients rounds out the broth, which lets each seafood component speak for itself without heavy seasoning. The abalone seafood sundubu variation pairs silky soft tofu with the same well-crafted broth. The banchan lineup is a standout element of the experience: the squid jeotgal, wrapped in seaweed with rice, has an addictive quality that makes the bowl disappear quickly. Basic side dishes such as stir-fried anchovies are neatly prepared and refillable. The fried flounder arrives piping hot with a satisfying crunch, appealing to children and pairing naturally with a casual drink. The hanwoo miyeokguk includes one whole abalone and a generous portion of beef, substantial enough for a full meal on its own. At roughly twenty thousand won per person, the pricing is reasonable for the seafood quality offered. The restaurant uses a kiosk ordering system and maintains a modern, clean interior. Parking is available in front but limited in size, so visiting outside peak meal times is advisable. The owner provides consistently warm service, and a charming chime sounds when the table bell is pressed, contributing to a relaxed dining atmosphere.
