About
Cozy neighborhood seafood pocha in Eungam-dong run by a friendly couple, serving seasonal raw fish, live squid, and hearty stews with varied side dishes.
Tucked into the slope near Eungam Market, Oneulhoi Fusion Pocha is an intimate, five-to-six-table indoor cart bar run by a husband-and-wife duo. Out front, illuminated blue live-fish tanks display the evening’s catch, signaling a kitchen that operates entirely by season and tide. Inside, clean white walls and natural wood tables offer a tidy, unassuming neighborhood retreat, complete with a partitioned room in the back for small groups. The dining experience shifts with the calendar and the whims of the owners. Banchan arrives generous and varied: one night might bring crispy kimchi pancakes alongside raw oysters in the shell, stem lettuce pickles (*gungchae*), and white kimchi. Another summer evening might start with fragrant, thin-fried water parsley pancakes (*minari-jeon*), chilled eggplant or cucumber soup, roasted potatoes, and stir-fried sausages. Seafood remains the centerpiece, scooped straight from the tanks. In high summer, live squid sashimi (*san-ojingeo-hoe*) draws regulars through the door; sliced into luminous ribbons, the mantle delivers tender sweetness, while the tentacles and head offer a firmer, satisfying crunch. Cooler months see tables ordering rockfish (*urok*), spring flounder (*dodari*), sea bass (*nongeo*), and autumn gizzard shad (*jeoneo*). The fresh rockfish is served simply, ready to be wrapped in crisp greens with garlic and ssamjang. When the raw cuts are finished, the table moves on to bubbling stews. Guests can order a rich fish-bone stew (*seodeori-tang*) simmered with chewy handmade sujebi noodles, or a clear sea bass soup (*nongeo-malkeun-tang*) that drinks like a restorative broth. Those staying for a protracted drinking session often round out the meal with a whole pineapple sherbet, served straight in the frozen fruit rind. Reliable, seasonal, and distinctly local, this Eungam-dong haunt handles live fish and comforting drinking snacks with unpretentious care.
