⊙ Wando Haemultang (완도해물탕)

The restaurant serves a rich haemultang (spicy seafood stew), packed with various seafood from Wando, including abalone, clams, crab, and octopus. Another specialty is haesintang (chicken and seafood soup), a flavorful soup made with chicken, abalone, and seafood, which requires a reservation at least 3 hours in advance. For solo visitors, the haemul ttukbaegi (seafood hot pot), made with abalone and a variety of seafood in a hot pot, is an easy, hassle-free option.

⊙ Myeongpum Jeonbokgung (명품전복궁)

The restaurant runs its own abalone farm, allowing you to enjoy fresh abalone. The most popular dish, “Jeonbok Hansang” (abalone set menu), serves almost every abalone dish imaginable on a single table.  Located in the Wando Traditional Market, the restaurant is spacious, making it an excellent choice for group visits. 

⊙ Cheongsil Hoetjib (청실횟집)

Cheongsil Hoetjib is a restaurant that offers various dishes made with freshly caught seafood from the waters in front of Wando. Its signature dish is the jayeonsan hwareo hoe (sliced raw wild fish) made with locally caught fish. Samchi hoe (sliced raw spotted mackerel) is particularly famous, and sliced raw fish dishes featuring sea bream, sea bass, and rockfish are also consistently popular. One delicacy is placing a piece of samchi hoe on top of a piece of aged kimchi on a bed of larva, then wrapping and enjoying it together.
