A working seafood market where the stalls set the rhythm of the visit.
Noryangjin combines a working wholesale fish market with seafood shopping for the public. Choosing a fish at a stall and arranging to have it prepared for a meal gives the visit a different rhythm from sitting down in a conventional restaurant.
Look around before deciding what to eat, and clarify the preparation arrangements with the seller. The market is as much about watching the trade and comparing the catch as it is about the meal.
