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.

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.

Had red Alaska king crab at 110k per kilo with a broken leg, most vendor is 120k per kilo, told me it more expensive cuz lack of stocks and premium king crab. Cuz it's my first and maybe last time in Korea, accepted the price. Was initially expecting 40-60k per kilo but was told this pricing is normally for non crab period where crab meat are not at it's most optimal. The restaurant experience is better as it is clear pricing. Do note each entry will charge sitting charge which is 4k-6k depending whether u got order fish stew. Had 2kg king crab, 500gm of shell fish. All steam
