Yeosu's signature dish — a rich, milky cockle soup (gaetguk) made with freshly caught shellfish. The broth is naturally white from the cockle juices, no cream added. Served with rice and banchan. A morning bowl after the night sea walk is the local move.

Tips
- Try 'gaetguk' at the restaurants near Yeosu Jungang Market — freshest catch.
- Usually 8,000-10,000 KRW per serving with rice and banchan.
- Best as a morning or lunch meal — pairs perfectly with the hangover from last night's soju.
