Found this place by change en route to N Seoul Tower.
Really interesting. Lots and lots of dried seafood product and we saw some delicious kimci also. Must be yummy.
Since we cook most of our meals we made a note to come here first and stock up should we come back to Seoul soon.

I had worked in the area for over 12 years and had walked by the market on Euljiro many, many times. Back for a visit i decided to walk thru the market, it was interesting...but I had to find my way out after about 10-15 minutes. The dried fish creates dust with a strong odor. It played havoc with my nose, and after leaving the odor stayed with me for hours. Sadly, I will never go back. It is an interesting place for sure but if you have a sensitive nose, be cautious.
There are other wonderful markets in Seoul to visit, Namdaemun, Insadong, and Noryongjin Fish market for example.

There are many stalls selling dry food. A lot of locals shop at this market as well. Most of the sellers cant speak English. So there will be a lot of pointing and translating (if you have internet).
Worth visiting to see how its like to visit a local market.
