Dangmeori Hamo Street (당머리하모거리)
2026-01-29
29-1 Namsannam 1-gil, Yeosu-si, Jeollanam-do
Among the various types of conger eel, chamjangeo is best known as hamo, the variety traditionally enjoyed as shabu-shabu. The term originates from Japan, where the eel earned its name for its tendency to bite aggressively. The conger eel is at its best from mid-April to late October, when it has fully built up nutrients in the clean waters of Korea’s southern coast. Due to its rich protein content, it is prepared in a wide variety of dishes, including shabu-shabu, salt-grilled eel, soybean paste–grilled eel, cold raw fish soup (mulhoe), and spicy gochujang-marinated grilled eel. Whole grilled hamo with soybean paste is considered a true delicacy among delicacies. Yeosu is a port city where eels are abundantly caught and eel dishes are especially popular. In summer, gaetjangeo dishes, particularly those made with hamo, are sold at around 50 restaurants. Although hamo is also available in other parts of Jeollanam-do, such as Goheung and Wando, Yeosu’s Hamo Street is the most famous. Hamo Street is a seaside alley lined with specialty restaurants serving hamo shabu-shabu and fresh sashimi. The Namsan Park nearby offers a pleasant place for a light walk after a meal.

Yeosu is known as a paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of dishes. The representative dish of the Yeosu region, dolgejang baekban (marinated crab set menu), is considered one of the top ten delicacies of Yeosu, along with grilled eel, braised hairtail, and the traditional Yeosu set meal. The main ingredient used in crab marinated in soy sauce is the snow crab and freshwater crab known locally as dolga or banjanggae. Bongsan-dong has many fishing boats arriving directly from the nearby sea, making it a region rich in seafood throughout the year. As more restaurants specializing in marinated crab dish opened, the area became known as Crab Alley. Over time, the street developed into a concentrated dining area dedicated to this dish, attracting tourists eager to taste it. In 2009, it was officially designated as Bongsan Gejang Baekban Street. Noteworthy attractions near the Bongsan-dong Gejang Baekban Street includes a lakeside park located a 4-minute drive away and the Yeosu Specialty Seafood Market, which is about a 7-minute drive away.

Myeongdo takes its name from the character “myeong,” which means “bright,” as its clear waters were likened to the union of the moon and the sun. It is also known as Yakdo Island, or “Medicinal Island,” for the wide variety of medicinal herbs that thrive there despite constant exposure to sea winds. Centered around Bangchukdo Island, visitors can enjoy sightseeing cruises and fishing by boat, and admire the island’s beautiful and unusual rock formations. In the mountainous areas of the island, dozens of medicinal herb species grow after enduring the harsh sea winds. The most well-known among them is laserwot, called bangpung in Korean, which is traditionally believed to help prevent postpartum pain syndrome in pregnant women and to offer effects such as inducing perspiration, reducing fever, relieving pain, and alleviating neuralgia, purportedly expelling 36 types of pain. It is also said to be effective in improving concentration, particularly for students preparing for exams.
