I was contemplating whether to go to the fish market as i was having my mid terms. Then YH persuaded me and i gave in. I didnt bring my digital camera as i didnt want the fishy smell on it. So pardon me for not so good quality and no pop art photos.
The fish market is similar to Busan's Jalgachi market. You choose the seafood you want , then you can get them to cook for you. But watch out for the hole in your pocket, seafood is very expensive.
huge prawns
our lobster , you can see the price from the small screen.

we bought the seafood at the first floor. The ahjussi who brought our purchases to the 2nd level eating house speaks Mandarin so communicating was a breeze.

telling the cooks how we want our seafood to be prepared
our sushi
the moving octopus
this baby abalone was the most value for money. 4 for 10,000won.

Review:
My favourite is the lobster and abalone. The fish tasted so-so. We didnt like the octopus though, it was my first time eating raw octopus. I could feel its tentacles moving in my mouth , sucking on my tongue.
We spent close to 50k won( if i hadnt remembered wrongly) at the eating house, just for them to prepare our seafood. Which wasnt very worth it, as they didnt add anything to our seafood, no sauce was added. They merely cooked it. So its like you pay them 50k won just to cook it which was very rip off. We could have prepared it on our own and save 50k won. Hence ill suggest , just purchase the seafood from there and bring home to cook if you are in a big group. Or it could be us just being unlucky to get fish that isnt meaty enough, too skinny.
But if you are there with just a friend or small group, then it is more worthwhile to eat at the eating house since the preparation charges wouldnt be very high and you would be well fed. Thats according to my other friends who went there with just a friend, it was just the 2 of them. They had a fish and abalones . And they spent only slightly more than what i have spent. For our case, we had a big group and serving was small, we werent full at all. My stomach was like 1/8 filled. Besides that ,the fish wasnt very meaty.
They also got our orders wrong. We asked for the abalones to be steamed but they fried it instead.
Directions:
Noryangjin Station Exit 1. The fish market is the building beside the station. The building with the carpark on the rooftop.
Even though we ordered 1 lobster, 8 abalones , 1 fish and 1 octopus,we were still very hungry. So we went to get street food that was just across the subway station.
i had the egg fried rice from this stall.
they provide you with free flow drinks and a basket for you to throw the rubbish. thats the streetfood in korea. you dont see it in singapore at all.
