Gosame is a specialty fish restaurant that is famed for their grilled fish and is patronised by locals. Of course, they offer other dishes to cater to a greater audience such as Tofu Bean Paste Stew and Kimchi Stew.
This is how the shop front looks like! As with many small family restaurants in Korea, this was relatively hard to locate but it was so good that we went back twice in a month.
Address: 53-8 Changcheon-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, South Korea
Hours: 11AM to 10PM
Gosame sells two kinds of mackerels: grilled mackerel(7,000 won) and Spanish mackerel (8,000 won). The additional SGD1.20 spent on the Spanish Mackerel proved to be a worthy investment, because the latter was definitely more tasty with no fishy taste at all. It was also nicely charred without being burnt, which is the best way to grill food!
We also ordered the stir fried squid(6,500 won) which was pretty impressive too, sufficiently flavorful and definitely not overcooked. The soybean stew (5,500 won) would be a good option if you visit Gosame with a vegetarian companion but it was average otherwise, not a bad dish but not outstanding.
As with any Korean restaurants, the banchan was free and really good!

On our second visit, we ordered the tofu stew as well(5,500 won). The tofu stew was chock full of tofu! Probably an entire block of tofu in it that's absorbed all the flavors of kimchi stew. We loved it! We're also glad to say that the fish was consistently good on both visits, absolutely yummy.
