Jip Nagan Godeungeo is a Korean restaurant.  Specializes in oven-roasted fish.  The name of the place means “the runaway (jip nagan) mackerel (godeungeo),” which doesn’t really make sense in Korean either.

By coincidence, the restaurant is located in the Scandi Mall building.

Although godeungeo is not my favorite fish, I went with it as the restaurant’s eponymous dish.

Unlike the other varieties on the menu, the godeungeo was sourced from Norway, which seems to be a big supplier of fish for Korea these days (see also 12.298 Kall Inkokt Lax).

For 12,000 won, the meal came with a side of roast fish + sotbab (pot-sticker rice) + soup + 13 refillable banchan.

Not bad.  The fish was a bit dry, but nicely seasoned.  The banchan were fresh and varied.  It was a tasty, well-balanced meal.
