Actually, it wasn't just about the scallops; I visited because I liked the idea of being able to grill them myself outdoors. First of all, this place is much more attractive for its outdoor seating than its indoor space. You can grill scallops while feeling a cool breeze, and personally, I really love this kind of atmosphere. I ordered 2kg of scallops that day. I also added chopped chili relish and cheese. By default, vinegared gochujang, soy sauce, and wasabi are provided, so you can eat them to your taste. The scallops are grilled directly on the grill. As the shells open, the juices inside start to boil, and that’s when the fun of eating begins. Scallops are shellfish that are attractive for their characteristic chewy texture and subtle sweetness. Personally, I like eating them without anything, but you can experience a different taste by dipping them in vinegared gochujang or soy sauce with wasabi. The added chopped chili relish adds spiciness to the sweetness of the scallops, and the cheese adds a savory and salty flavor. Especially, after eating scallops for a while, the taste can become monotonous, and it's good to eat them interchangeably at that point. But honestly, the atmosphere outdoors left a bigger impression on me than the taste of the scallops that day. There's the fun of sitting outside and grilling the scallops one by one, and the atmosphere of eating in a leisurely way while feeling the cool breeze was quite nice. I realized once again that even if it's not a special dish, satisfaction changes depending on where and in what kind of atmosphere you eat. Even though I only ate 2kg of scallops without any other menu items that day, it was satisfying enough. Overall, Baekdobugs is a place where the taste of the scallops themselves is good, but the atmosphere of grilling them outdoors is a bigger charm. If you visit Goseong on a day with good weather, I recommend grilling scallops at the outdoor seats. Personally, this atmosphere alone is a sufficient reason for me to visit again.
