Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market, Fish market in Noryangjin-dong, South Korea
Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market is a fish market in Seoul with around 700 vendors operating in a modern building. Daily, 250 to 300 tons of seafood are processed and sold here at wholesale prices.
The market was founded in 1927 near Seoul Station as Gyeongseong Susan and moved to its current location in 1971. The relocation became necessary to handle the growing volume of trade at that time.
This place is where chefs and home cooks come together to select seafood throughout the year. You see people in rubber boots moving between stalls and negotiating prices, while water and ice keep everything fresh at every moment.
This place is open around the clock and easiest to reach by subway using Exit 1 at Noryangjin Station on Line 1. From there, a bridge leads directly into the market.
Hundreds of water tanks throughout the market hold live specimens like octopuses, king crabs, and various fish species for buyers to select immediately. This live selection is a key feature that lets customers make their exact choices right away.
