Noryangjin  Markets
(Seafood market)


(Over pricing!)

- There are Chinese speaking advertisers that heckle for sales of seafood. Live baby octopuses range from 5 for 10,000WON and an additional 3000WON charge for dine in, to 1 live baby octopus for 10,000WON.

- A meal here have cost some 100,000WON or more, and they either overcharge you on the at the market and/or at the Restaurants



Tsukiji-light would best describe this place. As far as we could see, the place is divided into preserved fish and dried foods, shellfish, fish and live seafood for purchase. It has a similar concept to Dampa Macapgal Manila. One can purchase the live seafood and have them prepared at any of the dining stalls. (At varying prices. Remember to read warning above.)

The must tries that everyone goes for are the live octopus and the flounder Shashimi.



We ordered a plate of Shashimi at 15,000Won which had the Flounder Shashimi. It does have a bit of a crunch, and communicating with the Korean stall lady was near impossible. In trying to communicate anyway possible to get some soya sauce, we, instead got Korean chili sauce, wasabi, where to buy Soju, chopsticks and cups.


*Note* Dining at Namdaemun Markets

You cannot sit at a cafe with your takeaways like Shashimi and have them there even if you've ordered drinks from the stall. Food purchased from the market apparently needs to be consumed in the designated/allocated diners on site which presumably come at an entry cover charge.

We opted for Roof Top, ghetto, Alfresco dining.





The protest going on that day at the markets about Fish Mongers and their concern over their job security. 

A worth while visit, but maybe not for a meal option.
