Written by hand, not generated. Dishes, markets, timing and prices for Ulsan.
Ulsan is an industrial city that also has the East Sea on one side and the Taehwa River running through it. Its food splits between the inland bulgogi belt around Eonyang and Bonggye, and the seafood coast at Bangeojin and Jeongja — about 30 to 40 minutes apart by car.
Finely chopped beef grilled on a wire rack and wrapped in lettuce. The marinade is light, so the beef itself carries the dish.
Grilled with salt alone and no marinade — a different proposition from the Eonyang style.
Sliced raw fish served in chilled broth. The default summer order along this coast.
Knife-cut noodles cooked with limpets prised off the coastal rocks, served on the eastern shore.
Served boiled around Jangsaengpo. Commercial whaling is banned and only bycatch reaches the market, so few places handle it and prices are high.
Two clusters of grill restaurants that cook the same cut in different ways.
Exhibition halls on the whaling past, with restaurants alongside.
A dense run of raw fish restaurants between a working harbour and a beach.
A drive lined with sea-facing raw fish houses and cafes.
A downtown stretch of cafes along the riverside walking paths.
What it costs — Eonyang bulgogi runs KRW 18,000-25,000 per person and cold raw fish soup around KRW 15,000.
