Overview

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.
