Ganjang Gejang (Raw Crabs Marinated in Soy Sauce) (간장게장) and Yangnyeom Gejang (Spicy Raw Crabs) (양념게장)

Hm, the picture is hazy but by the size and shape of the pieces, it looks like it could be hagfish which is not a true eel like unagi/anago.

ETA: It is, indeed, hagfish. Looked up the menu on yelp. Might be a mistranslation, as eel in Korean is “jang uh” and hagfish is similarly named “kkom jang uh.” Have not actually tried this fish myself - curious to know how you felt about this dish.
