What makes it 40% Baby-Friendly: Babies are allowed, but no diaper tables, no nursing room, crowded wet walkways, and occasional stairs mean caregivers must bring gear, lift strollers, and cope with noise and smells; check details before going.

It was a wonderful experience… You choose and pay for anything you want—live and fresh—at the fish market, and the restaurants upstairs cook it for you and serve your meal… Everything is perfectly organized and the system works flawlessly… All that’s left for you to do is enjoy yourself and savor the taste of the food.

I highly recommend stall 125 in the indoor market as the auntie was the sweetest and most accommodating. She was not pushy and did not drive up prices for us, we were able to communicate well even with limited english. We wanted to yellowtail but she told us it was not in season which we appreciated the honesty. She also gave us a fee free pieces of shellfish as service which was all so good as we...

This was a really neat experience. I have never seen a live seafood market anywhere near this big. There are so many vendors.

I was amazed at the huge variety of fish, eels, shellfish etc and they are all live. They circulate fresh ...

Very large seafood market. A lot fresh seafood to choose and much cheaper than Noryangin in Seoul. You can choose and let them cook and eat upstairs with nice harbour view. Highly recommended shop no.183. The owner can speak English and they gave us very good deal, also the product are good too.

A must-visit! A fresh fish and seafood market with an enormous selection — a feast for the eyes and the palate. You can buy and take home, but it's highly recommended to explore the lower level, choose any fish or seafood you can imagine and have it prepared however you like (raw, fried, grilled, etc.). Then head upstairs, pick a table, and within ten minutes you'll be served all the dishes you dr...
