Local residents in Yeosu often frequent Yeojin Sikdang for its focus on marinated crab. The signature gejang-jeongsik includes both soy-marinated and spicy varieties served together. One refill is permitted for either type. The soy-marinated crab features a faint hint of lemon to remove any fishy scent, while the spicy version has a sweet profile that pairs well with rice. For a different texture, the menu includes stone crab as a specialty. Located at 30-3 Hakdong, Yeosu-si, the establishment also serves crispy grilled fish. This dish requires a minimum order of two portions and cannot be split with a single crab set. The accompanying soybean paste stew is noted for its distinct character. Pricing is 15,000 won for solo diners and 13,000 won per person for groups. Takeout and nationwide shipping are available. While staff are helpful during peak hours, the limited parking leads to competition for street spots. Arriving early for lunch helps avoid typical wait times.
