Daepo Port Original Fried Food Alley is a curated attraction in Korea — full details, hours, and access info on the official Korea Tourism page.
Daepo Port Original Fried-Food Alley is a clustered street of fried-food stalls in Sokcho's Daepo Port area, Gangwon, specializing in the Daepo-port style of saewu twigim (deep-fried shrimp) and ojingeo twigim (deep-fried squid) — fresh-from-the-port seafood that is battered and fried in the casual outdoor stall setting that defines Korean port-side food culture. The alley features a cluster of family-run fried-food stalls, with each stall using its own batter recipe and frying technique. The Daepo Port location combines the food-experience with the broader Daepo Port working-fishing-port atmosphere, including the visible fishing boats and harbor activity. Best at lunch or dinner hours, paired with broader Sokcho-area itineraries.
