Ilsong Geotgejang Baekban is widely recognized as one of the best crab restaurants on Anmyeondo. It is easy to find, located at the entrance to Anmyeon-eup. It began as a raw fish restaurant, but the soy-marinated crab served on the side drew such a strong response that crab-set meals became its specialty. At the time, there were no restaurants on Anmyeondo specializing in marinated crab.
Ilsong sources fresh blue crabs from the waters off Anmyeondo every day. The crabs are glossy-shelled with plump, firm flesh. They are aged at low temperature in a refrigerator for a week, so the taste stays the same in every season. Instead of chemical seasonings, only sand lance fish sauce aged for three years is used, giving the crab a savory sweetness rather than saltiness.
