    Noryangjin fish market
    This place is full of fresh seafood and the price is reasonable. But do check few stalls first before making your decision, stall owner will try to upsell you but you can just chill and slowly make your decision although they will get angry sometimes. Lol. I think is a must visit place if it's your first time to seoul.

    Great day out in the fish market with a fantastic lunch.
    Visited store #007 and bought a 1.5kg king crab and various types of clams for 75,000 won which I thought was reasonable. The lady owner gave additional clams and prawns. We were brought to a restaurant on the 5th floor which had photos of various celebrities which, presumably, dined there previously. The king crab was steamed and tasted absolutely fabulous - flesh was sweet and firm. The clams and prawns were cooked in a light broth style which was delicious. All in, cooking charges and soju was 35,000 which is fair, IMO.

    Good fresh seafood
    Fresh seafood market with lots of options and restaurants to cook for you. We were there for dinner and enjoyed the fresh seafood in one of their upstairs restaurants which we were guided to after picking out what we wanted. The restaurant was busy, but had plenty of staff working there so service was good at 또순이 which is a 24/7 place. We started with the fresh sashimi and finished with the large king crab - good chucks of crab meat.

    Underwhelming experiences
    The place is easily accessible by subway and bus. Cannot missed it as there are clear directional signs along the way to the market. Was hoping and expecting see more activities or a variety of seafood but its seems most of the real actions are in early morning. Overall the trip was still enjoyable just lacks the authentic feeling of a real seafood wholesale market. Feels more like a live seafood restaurant where you pick your meal and then have it prepared. Most stalls are selling similar items like crabs, prawn and clams. Only a few stall offers unique seafood like urchins and uncommon fishes. As you move around from stall to stall. Everyone is keen to push a sale, so it can be quite annoying at times. We finally settled for a random stall and selected some shellfish, prawns and clams. Everything was bagged and we are brought to a restaurant on the second level to get our selection of seafood cooked for an extra fee. The most common recommendation on the way to prepare anything was steam or stir fry, and if you decide to grill there will be an extra charges. Overall the meal prepared was acceptable but nothing special. There are restaurants that are able to prepare the same ingredients in more tasty and creative manner. Not really a must to do list of places to visit in Seoul if on a short trip. But if there is time on hand and feels like having some fresh home cooked seafood, then this is the place to be.

    Fresh seafood at very good price
    Noryangjin is Korea's largest seafood market. Although a bit away from downtown, it is a popular place for both locals and tourists. There are long rows of seafood stalls that sell everything from fish to exotic shellfish. Picking the favorite seafood and having it cooked at one of the eateries upstairs is an ultimate Seoul experience. While cooking is more on the rudimentary side, price is simply dirt cheap. Highly recommended. P. S. it seems that a lot of conflicts are related to king crab. We did not order it and our guide helped us through everything from choosing seafood to ordering.

Came back to Seoul after covid to enjoy the freshness of the sea, we bought them at good prices from the wholesale market but the nightmare came when we were brought upstairs to the restaurant for the cooking. We are aware that there will be a cooking fee for the service but we were not expecting one cooking fee for each type and per kg applies. Eg: one piece of fish, half cooked by steaming and the other by bbq. The charges for each method applies. See the new charging fees attached. Paid 87,000won for one fish, 4 pieces of medium size abalone, 4 pieces of mussels-like, and a handful of cockles. Cooking fees>>> 60,000won. Judge for yourselves if this worth it all!!!

Do read the negative reviews posted. This is worse than a tourist trap because the restaurants who prepared our crab and other items charged us $75 dollars and the crab- that came was overcooked. We suspect it was not the same crab we selected. The restaurant was not willing to communicate when we asked how much it cost to prepare the seafood and even though prices are listed on the board, they did not follow them. Very sad to experience this in Korea and the market consists mostly of Chinese sellers who speak Korean. I hope the review helps you steer clear of the market.

We went on a Wednesday morning to the Noryangjin Fish Market. It was not crowds and we really enjoyed our visit. You can purchase the fish on the ground floor (1st floor Korean naming convention) and it is prepared on the 2nd floor. It is absolutely impressive. On weekends it might be crowds.

Tourist trap!!! Fresh seafood and lots of it. Great selection but if you have it prepared at a restaurant upstairs, it’s outrageously expensive. Charge 30,000 wan to grill 4 prawns and way over cooked.
There only seems to be two ways to cook the seafood, steam or grill. Not much flavour. What a shame with all the seafood they have at the site!!
Cool place to visit but not eating there.

Everyone knows Tsukuji in Tokyo but Noryangjin is not so famous, but it should be. It is a vast fish market with tons of choice. One can buy seafood to take home or there is an option to get it prepared at a restaurant one floor up. Literally everything can be found here and super fresh, Definitely worth a visit!

Second time visiting this market, and first since since the post-Covid. Seafood selection was wide, with good price as we could make some bargains with the seller. The restaurant on 2nd floor, however, overcharged us. KRW31,000 for service fee and cooking fee. So unreasonably pricy!

Hmm.. fresh seafood. We were charged W78,000 cooking fee of 6pcs abalone, fish head stew, 1 cup rice, 4x pepsi. On top of that, we had to pay W80,000 for the fresh abalone and a plate of salmon sashimi. Total of W158,000. Too expensive.

On my first trip to South Korea I wanted to make sure I was able to experience a fish market. This one was very cool and I thoroughly enjoyed walking and seeing the vendors and the different types of things for sale. Much much larger outside vending areas that inside
