Donkey and I were on a counterclockwise bike adventure around the island, and after a long day of cycling from Soesokkak Estuary, we were looking for a good meal. We initially planned to head for a restaurant that served steaks and Western food since we'd been indulging in Korean cuisine for a few days. We were hoping for a change of pace. However, when we reached our chosen restaurant, we realized it was closed. We were surprised, since it was Tuesday.

We decided to search nearby for another restaurant, but it seemed like most places were closed. It wasn't very vibrant, and the open restaurants weren't particularly appealing to us. We weren't sure why so many places were closed, but it seemed like this part of Jeju was quieter than we expected.

We continued cycling towards our next destination, hoping to find something enticing along the way. We stumbled upon 광어다 (Gwang-eoda), and it was a welcome surprise.

Located on the second floor with a beautiful ocean view, this restaurant has a modern and airy ambiance. The exposed concrete walls are balanced out by warm wood tables and comfortable seating, creating a casual and inviting atmosphere perfect for a relaxing meal after a long ride.

The menu is primarily focused on olive flounder (광어 - gwang-eo), offering a wide range of dishes from traditional Korean preparations to more modern styles. We were spoiled for choice. Since we couldn't communicate in Korean, we showed the staff the pictures of the food in their restaurant on Google Maps, and they were incredibly helpful in recommending some of their specialties. Based on their recommendations, we ordered a variety of dishes, including:

광어 탕수어 (Gwang-eo Tangsu-eo): Olive flounder sweet and sour fish.

광어 미역국 (Gwang-eo Miyeok-guk): Olive flounder seaweed soup.

광어 물회 (소) (Gwang-eo Mul-hoe (So)): Raw olive flounder in cold broth (small). This is the spicy cold noodle dish with raw fish.

Donkey and I enjoyed the variety as there there was grilled, cooked, and raw flatfish.

Each dish was fresh and flavorful, and the side dishes were a wonderful addition, especially the kimchi. It was a true Korean feast. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, even though they didn't speak English. They did their best to communicate with us, and we could see that they were very sincere in extending their service. The restaurant also had a great queuing system and a cosy waiting area, which was a nice touch.

If you're looking for a place to enjoy authentic Korean seafood with a beautiful ocean view and a relaxed atmosphere, 광어다 (Gwang-eoda) is definitely...

요즘은 광어회를 먹고 싶으면 집 주변 횟집에서 바로 먹을 수 있을만큼 흔한 생선이 바로 ‘광어’다. 그 만큼 수요도 많고 싸고 맛있기에 사람들이 많이들 찾는다는 것이다. 배를 타고 낚시를 해본 사람들은 전문 낚시꾼을 제외하고 광어를 잡기가 쉽지 않다. 줄을 내리면 거의 우럭이 올라오기일쑤이고 광어를 보기가 좀처럼 쉽지 않다. 그렇지만 현재 광어는 제주도 등에서 양식을 많이 하고 있다. 그러기에 우리가 주변에서 정말 쉽게 접할수 있게 되었다. 제주도 표선면에 광어 양식장이 많이 있다. 이곳 중 한 곳이 양식장을 하면서 식당을 운영하고 있다. 물회부터 초밥, 광어 탕수 등이 주 요리이다. 물회와 탕수어를 주문했다. 초밥도 먹고 싶었으나 양이 많을 듯 싶어 나중에 한번 더 오기로 했다. 물회는 제주도의 된장 베이스가 아닌 초장을 베이스로 했다. 속초 등에서 볼수 있는 초장 베이스의 물회는 초장의 맛과 맵기 등에서 뭔가 자극적인 맛이 강하다. 그렇지만 여기는 기존이 초장 베이스 물회와 비슷하면서도 조금 다른 느낌이다. 광어의 선도는 무척이나 좋았다. 비린 맛이 전혀 느껴지지 않았고 신선함과 바로 잡았기에 탱글한 식감이 진짜 일품이었다. 광어 탕수어는 광어로 만든 탕수육(?)이다. 기존 돼지고기 탕수육은 두번 튀기는데 반해 탕수어는 한번 튀긴 것으로도 충분히 잘 익어 촉촉함이 살아있다. 신선한 광어를 사용해서 비린맛이 전혀 느껴지지 않았고 소스도 레몬을 첨가한 달달함이 한번 더 조금 비릴수 있는 여지를 없애주었다. 두명이 물회와 탕수어를 다 먹고 왔는데 39,000원이 나왔고 개인적으로 충분한 값어치를 했다고 생각한다. 기존의 식당들도 바로 잡았기때문에 신선할지 모르겠지만 양식장에서 바로 잡은 것은 이동의 스트레스와 수조안에서의 스트레스가 적기에 개인적으로 일반 식당보다는 좀더 신선하고 맛이 낫다고 생각이...
