Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market - by Philippe Lopez on Google





Description
Noryangjin Fisheries is one of the largest fish markets in South Korea, distributing the daily catch of a network of up to 300,000 fishermen mostly to businesses, including through live auctions in the middle of the night. The market is open to visitors and also serves cooked food on the 2nd floor.
Access & Transport
The building is located just south of Yeouido Park, in the Dongjak district of southwest Seoul, next to Noryangjin station (1, 9).
Instructions & Recommendations
Auctions start around 1h00 or 03h00 (in the morning) depending on the type of animals. Refer to the website for details
Environmental & Social
An ethical disaster for those who care a little about animal suffering.
Conclusion
Some may find a cultural angle there and it is certainly impressive for the senses but we can't recommend patronizing the place due to obvious ethical & moral issues.
Key positive
Good place to buy seafood
Key negative
Zero empathy for condition in which animals are kept and killed
Expensive cooking fee in restaurants
Suitability
Vegetarians & vegans should avoid. Younger children probably as well.
