All-you-can-eat clams at Jogaeview Gwangalli: great view, weak meal

After looking around the Gwangalli Eobang Festival, my friends and I went for grilled clams. There were three of us, and it was around three on a Sunday afternoon, early for a meal.

Because we were early, we got a seat that looks down on Gwangalli. The view was really good.

The clam table and the scallops

We ordered the all-you-can-eat Sanhaejinmi table and added seasonal scallops.

The clams were fresh. Taken as a whole, though, the meal fell short of what I expected, for three reasons.

• Scallops: I expected large scallops, but the ones that came were small. They looked like red scallops to me, which is my own guess.
• Refills: When we asked for more, some clams came uncleaned and the portion got smaller. That is what happened to us that day.
• Heat: The grill gave off so much heat that it was very hot while we ate.

I have no plan to go back to this restaurant. I have rarely been satisfied at raw fish or grilled clam places near Gwangalli, so I tend to avoid seafood in this area. In my experience, neighborhood raw fish restaurants were better in both price and taste. That is only a personal comparison.
