⊙ Dongbang Hoetjip (동방횟집)

Discover Changwon’s local delicacy at this eatery: braised ray, a wide, diamond-shaped fish stewed in soybean paste with various seasonings and radish. In Korea, ray is often savored as a hearty stew or paired as a side dish with drinks. The braised ray here stands out for its perfect balance of robust seasoning and the delicate texture of the ray’s flesh. The flavorful broth is generously served, but try mixing it with rice for a complete meal. The menu also features fresh seafood offerings like assorted sliced raw fish, live octopus, and conch. The restaurant’s popularity surged after being spotlighted on various Korean cooking shows, so it’s advisable to book in advance.
