Masan Odong-dong Agujjim Street (마산 오동동 아구찜거리)

Masan Odong-dong Agujjim Street (마산 오동동 아구찜거리)

Masan, located on the southern coast of Gyeongsangnam-do, is famous for agujjim (steamed monkfish). The dish is both spicy and refreshing, pairing the sweet and mild monkfish with strong and spicy broth. Monkfish is known to be full of vitamin A, making it good for the skin, and low in fat. The vegetables mixed into the broth contain vitamin C, making this spicy dish a very nutritious meal.

Masan Odong-dong Agujjim Street first formed in the 1960s when a restaurant began serving a dish made with freshly caught monkfish steamed together with doenjang, gochujang, bean sprouts, and other greens. The dish quickly became popular among the nearby fishermen, and soon more restaurants began serving the dish, forming the Odong-dong Agujjim Street of today.
