Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market
노량진수산시장
Seoul's largest seafood wholesale market. Choose live seafood on the ground floor, then take it to restaurants upstairs for preparation. Sashimi and king crab are popular with tourists.
Noryangjin Fish Market began in 1927 and moved into a modern new building in 2016. The ground floor has hundreds of stalls selling live fish, shellfish, king crab, sea squirts and more. The usual approach is to pick your seafood on the ground floor and pay by weight, then take it to a second-floor restaurant and pay a preparation fee (per person or per dish) for sashimi, spicy fish stew or steamed dishes. Prices are negotiable, so compare a few stalls first and check whether the weight includes water. Early-morning auctions can be watched. Noryangjin Station (Subway Lines 1 and 9) is about a 5-minute walk away, across a pedestrian bridge.
