Ilsung Susan · Noryangjin Fish Market

일성수산 (노량진수산시장)

Korea's largest wholesale fish market runs a simple two-step system: buy raw fish downstairs among the shouting vendors and tanks, then take it up to a seating counter to eat it as hoe. Ilsung Susan is one of the steadier counters inside, known among visitors for straightforward pricing rather than aggressive touting.
