Seosan Kkotgejang (서산꽃게장)

Seosan Kkotgejang specializes in preparing blue crabs harvested from the Seohae Coast using traditional methods. They offer both ganjang kkotgejang (soy sauce marinated blue crab) and yangnyeom kkotgejang (spicy marinated blue crab). The ganjang kkotgejang is prepared by marinating fresh crabs with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and other seasonings, resulting in a savory and flavorful taste. The yangnyeom kkotgejang is marinated with a seasoning mixture primarily consisting of chili pepper powder. They also serve dishes like ureok jeotguk (salted rockfish soup) and yeongyang gulbap (nutritious oyster rice). Seosan is known for its bay, providing an ideal habitat for blue crabs.
