In the heart of Gangnam, Nonhyeon-dong, there’s a monkfish specialist that offers something unique: choose your broth style — clear, spicy, or perilla seed — and get a complimentary serving of rare fresh monkfish liver. Welcome to Imja (임자).
💡 Why This Restaurant is Special: Three styles of fresh monkfish soup (clear, spicy, perilla), each with deep, complex flavors. Because they use only fresh (not frozen) monkfish, they can offer the prized monkfish liver as a FREE side — a delicacy most places can’t serve.
