New Jersey | Korean Boss recommends crab sauce! Local shop!
As a food blogger obsessed with marinated crab š¦, Iāve tried quite a few marinated crab spots in NY and NJ! A Korean owner raved about this placeāsaying itās the most authentic heās ever had! As soon as I walked in and saw almost all Korean diners, I knew it was a winner!! Donāt let the map ratings fool youāitās really tasty! Basically, every table orders these two things! š Marinated Crab Heads upā¼ļø Order the premium one!! Itās air-freighted from Korea š°š·! The crab shells are super softāyou can literally suck the meat out! Thereās so much crab roe tooāmixing it with rice is pure happiness š! The saltiness is mild, so you can really taste the natural sweetness of the crab meatļ½ My Korean friend even said it tastes just like the ones in Korea! Never order the Blue crab! Thatās from Maryland. Most places in NY and NJ use blue crab, and their shells are really hardātotal hassle! š Sam bab (Lettuce Wraps) A must-order for every table! Wrap the meat in lettuceāitās so fresh!! The lettuce is crisp and crunchy, even my friend who doesnāt like veggies ate a lot š„¬! There are five or six types of lettuceāeven bok choy and crown daisy! It sounds surprising but tastes great! The raw greens are actually sweet! We chose spicy stir-fried porkāwrapping it with doenjang (soybean paste) is such a perfect match!! The side dishes are also plentiful: steamed egg, doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew), and two bowls of fish roe rice! After the meal, you can go to Dāavant bakery to grab a drinkļ½ ā³ļø Kaya Garden 1475 Bergen Blvd, Fort Lee, NJ 07024 Like š Save āļø Follow šš»āāļø Check my profile for more NYC eats!
