Kkukjeogu is a small goby-type fish from clear fresh water, and this shop simmers it into a stew. This shop builds the broth on its own homemade soybean and chili paste, so it comes out spicy and savory without any fishy smell. A stone pot of potato rice arrives alongside, and scooping it into the broth is the part reviewers love. It sits on the road down from Odaesan, just before Jumunjin.
