Fodor's Expert Review Haenyeo Hamuldachi

$$$$ Tongyeong Dinner

Named for the famed Korean women divers known as haenyeo, this raucous restauraunt delivers set-course meals of seafood including side dishes of small octopus, shrimp, scallops, sea snails, flatfish, and more, accompanied with buckets containing bottles of beer and soju on ice. People come here to drink as much as eat, so if you really want to soak up the local atmosphere, this is your spot. They usually don't speak English, but everyone eats the same thing anyway, so just sit back and let the food and drink come to you.
