Daebak Hongdo Agujjim
대박홍도아구찜 · Jeonnam · Where to eat
Daebak Hongdo Agujjim is a restaurant specializing in agujjim (spicy braised monkfish) and a well-known secret among Mokpo residents. Thanks to its fame, the restaurant has two buildings: the main building and the annex. It is located in Dongbu Market, Mokpo. Monkfish is a type of fish known for its tender and chewy texture and in Korea it is often cooked by braising. Monkfish, bean sprouts, and other vegetables are stir-fried with red chili paste-based sauce, creating a dish that brings alive the tender texture of the monkfish and the crunchiness of the vegetables. What elevates this restaurant above the others is their sauce. Dip the fish into a sauce made with chili pepper powder and it will open doors to a new world of flavor and taste.
