Dukkeobi Gejang (Toad Crab House)
📍 봉산동, Yeosu
This gejang specialist sits on Bongsan-dong's crab-marinade alley. It is large enough to occupy an entire building, and after appearing on TV several times, it draws many people trying gejang for the first time in Yeosu.
The focus is soy-marinated and spicy marinated stone crab, served as a set-meal spread with spicy braised hairtail and blue-crab soybean paste soup. Since the gejang is refilled when you ask, you will likely find yourself mixing rice more than once.
They also sell separate gejang products for takeout and delivery, so many customers buy some after their meal. Waits form at meal times, so going slightly off-peak is better, and there are several other gejang restaurants on the same alley.

Useful tips
- If you avoid the lunch peak from 12 to 1 p.m., you can usually sit without waiting.
- Since the gejang is refilled, do not pile on too much at first; start with the rice.
- It runs quite salty, so ordering the spicy braised hairtail alongside it balances the meal.
- Separate takeout and delivery products are available, making them easy to buy as gifts.
- There are several marinated crab restaurants on the same alley, so if the wait is long, it's fine to move to the place next door.
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask for more marinated crab?
Soy-marinated crab and spicy marinated crab are refilled if you ask for more. Other menu items like spicy braised hairtail have to be ordered separately, so it is better to add them from the start.
Is it okay to go with kids?
Gejang tends to be salty and spicy, so it may not suit children. Mixing their rice with the accompanying blue-crab soybean paste soup or the broth from the spicy braised hairtail usually solves that.
What other dishes are available besides the signature menu?
blue crab stew / stone crab set meal / galchi-jorim (braised hairtail), etc.
