Why we send people here

Choose a fish downstairs, eat it upstairs sliced thick with gochujang, garlic and lettuce wraps — the Korean answer to sashimi, louder and more alive.

Before you count on it
  • 4 hr 30 min door to door means a 2–3 hour stop ashore cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
  • No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
The story

Why Hoe: Korean-style sashimi is famous

Korean hoe is raw fish, but the handling is not Japanese: it is usually cut thicker, served chewy rather than melting, and eaten wrapped in lettuce with chogochujang, a sweet chilli-vinegar paste. The remains of the fish come back as a spicy stew, which is expected rather than optional.

Where to have it

Three places, three different answers

The one the queue agrees on, the one people who live here use instead, and the one nearest your ship. Opening days change; check before you build a day around one.
