Ilgwang Beach-area crab baekban in the KRW 10,000 range, with grilled fish for families
A crab and grilled-fish baekban restaurant on Samseong-gil, close to Ilgwang Beach. It fits a Gijang drive, Ilgwang Station-and-beach route, or a meal before or after Haedong Yonggungsa. Reviews mention both parking in front of the shop and nearby village parking; on tight alley days, parking a little away and walking in may be easier.
The signature is the female flower-crab baekban at KRW 15,000. It brings soy-marinated crab, spicy marinated crab, rice, soup, and sides, with a crab shell included for mixing rice. The soy crab is more clean and savory than heavily salty, and the lower fishy smell makes it approachable for crab beginners.
The regular crab baekban is KRW 10,000, while the shrimp jang + crab baekban is KRW 15,000 for anyone who wants soy shrimp too. The grilled fish baekban, from two people, gives a choice of fish such as hairtail, mackerel, flounder, and rockfish-like yeolgi, making the table easier for kids or guests who do not eat crab. Extra stew such as cheonggukjang, soft tofu, kimchi stew, or soybean paste stew costs about KRW 4,000.
Side dishes feel like a proper local baekban table: bean sprouts, mushrooms, seaweed stems, myeonginamul, squid jeotgal, seaweed, and pickles. The room is clean with comfortable spacing, good for family travel lunches, kids, beach walks, and anyone who wants a filling Korean meal rather than a cafe snack. Takeout crab and grilled fish options are also listed.
