This dish is made with venus clam. It is commonly served in Yangyang, Gangwon State, and is also called “Jjaebok Tang.” The people of Yangyang refer to the venus clam as “jjaebok,” which grows on the eastern shore of Korea. It also references how the clam is seen to be small and ugly, but its presence in this flavorful soup cannot be understated. The opaque soup is flavorful, with a gentle note of sweetness. The chewy and springy meat has hardly any fish smell, and the taste is quite clean. Taurine content from the venus clam seeps into the soup, making it work wonders for hangovers and weight loss. Venus clam is enjoyed in salads, cold raw venus clam soup, and spicy noodle soup with venus clams.
