More about Grilled Clams
Grilled clam restaurants cluster on the coast — Eulwangni near Incheon Airport and Cheongsapo in Busan are well known — and in city tent bars. A platter of mixed shellfish is grilled over charcoal or gas at your table, and staff often help open the shells; eat them when the shells pop and the juice bubbles. Many places finish the meal with a pot of noodle soup.
