Noryangjin Fish Market Review

Hello everyone! We're Creatrip, your group of Korean travel experts.

One of the must-eats in Korea is fresh raw fish! It would be nice to go to Busan or Jeju Island to get a platter full of them, but if your itinerary's looking tight, remember that you can also find fresh raw fish in the city of Seoul.  

Noryangjin Fish Market is frequented by locals who are in the mood for a fresh taste of the sea. Noryangjin Fish Market is the biggest fish market in Seoul, located just outside Noryangjin station. You'll spot lots of live fish and seafood displayed along.

The biggest perk of the market is that you can pick your fresh fish and indulge in its flavour right on the spot! For this reason, this place is loved by locals and international visitors.

Noryangjin Fish Market | Review

The closer I got to the market, the stronger it smelled like an ocean. I knew from my sense of smell that I was near.   

Isn't it amazing to find a place that smells like a sea in the city of Seoul?

Noryangjin Fish Market is the biggest seafood wholesale market in Seoul. Locals love coming here for the freshest, affordable fish and recently, there has been a huge increase in the number of foreign visitors.

This is a great option to add to your itinerary as you get to take a break from the city scene and get a sense of being near water while browsing various fish on display.

You might find it chaotic as you enter the market because you'll see huge arrays of touting vendors next to one another.

Try not to let the touting bother you, just walk around and enjoy the view.   

You'll see different types of seafood in season.

Generally, the early mornings are for wholesales and from lunch throughout night is for regular customers like ourselves.

Visitors pick and choose their raw fish, then bring them to the restaurants on the second floor where you can find tables and seats.

The sense of relief you get from choosing your own food is unreal!

But at the same time, you might be wondering how to choose a trustworthy vendor.

Try one of our three partners!    We picked the best and the most affordable vendors for you guys.
