Morning before we leave Busan, we came to Mipo for Daegutang (Cod Fish Soup). Daegutang is also refer as large mouth soup as dae-gu means big mouth. This restaurant is another famous Busan mat-jib appeared in various famous local TV programmes. Many Korean actor and actress who been here for daegutang has left their signatures on the restaurant's wall. Their Daegutang 대구탕 @ 10,000 won is served with rice and several side dishes such as kimchi, gim, seasoned beans sprouts, seasoned fish cake, seasoned radish, chili peppers, cut onions, dwenjang paste and soy sauce (for seasoning the soup). We order an additional Al-Mari 알마리 @ 6,000 won~ a jumbo seafood eggroll with big chunk of fresh crab meat and perilla leaf wrap inside the egg roll! So delicious! Daegutang has a different version up at North and down at South. In Northern region e.g. Seoul and Gyeonggi. cod fish stew is boiled with gochugaru and marinated sauce, therefore it is called Mae-un-tang 매운탕 (Spicy fish stew). While Southern region like Busan, the cod fish is boiled and served with clean plain broth without any seasoning which is the dae-gu-tang. Daegutang is also a perfect hangover soup among Koreans and this restaurant is operate 24 hours due to this reason.
This area~ Mipo, Jung-dong in Haeundae is where the tourist take sightseeing cruise tour along the Busan harbor from Haeundae Mipo Ferry Terminal. As the restaurant is next to the coastline, Haeundae Beach can be view in whole from here. Opposite the restaurant is the fisher dock where fishermen who just return busy unload their catch of the day from the boat. What an interesting view with modern buildings such as Busan Marine City and hotels along Haeundae at the background while the ahjumas busy cleaning and sorting the fishes along the dock.
