Visiting Noryangjin Fish Market (노량진수산시장) and eating Korean food (raw fish) in Seoul, Korea Travel Food Video:

Well good morning, good morning. For today's outing we are at the Noryangjin Fish Market (노량진수산시장). This is my first time here. This is one of the most famous markets in all of Seoul (서울). It is a fish market - a seafood market

So what can you tell us about the Noryangjin Fish Market (노량진수산시장) Sam?

Well it is a very fascinating market. Like first off it is massive. It is open 24 hours of the day. Wow. And get this if you want to go see the live auction you've got to be here at three in the morning. Hahaha. No way was that happening. Yeah. We're not quite the ambitious. And the market moves 250 to 300 tonnes of fish and I guess you could call it marine products daily.

My meal has arrived. Sam actually chose this because I had no clue what to get. But this is called Hoedeopbap (회덮밥) and it is basically rice with vegetables and raw fish on top. Um, the rice actually comes here on the side in this separate little bowl.

So what makes deopbap different from say bokkumbap which is the mixed rice is the deopbap you get like your ingredients and then you get your rice so they're not mixed together. They're not. So yeah, lots of veggies here. It looks like we got. Look at all of the sesame seeds. I know so many sesame seeds. Some cabbage, some carrots. Seaweed.

Try it with a little bit of rice. Try a bit of fish with some vegetables and rice.

Messy. Make sure you get your fish. It will probably be easier with chopsticks. Haha.

Trying to get vegetables as well. Yeah. Rice, fish, vegetables, sauce.

So your food is here now. Yeah my dish has now arrived. Yours came first. So I'm having chobap (초밥) which is the Korean sushi. So take a look down here. I have ten nicely displayed pieces. And as you can see you have of course the sushi kind of Korean chobap (초밥) appearance. It has got the rice and then the fish on top. So I'm just going to grab a piece. Yep. And let's take it for a dunk in the soy sauce. Take it for a swim.

It is good. This is a really. It is not. It is a chewy fish. It is not um. It doesn't disintegrate in your mouth. I'm really having to power through it. It is very light. I think we're both having the same fish. Yeah it is very light. It tastes good. And but as you said it is the kind of fish that it needs a strong sauce to go with it. Either the gochujang (고추장) or the soy sauce the kangjang.

We ate all of the fish. We ate all of the fish from the deopbap. So anyways in terms of price point the Hoedeopbap (회덮밥) was thirteen thousand Won (원) and the chobap (초밥) was fifteen thousand Won (원). So in total twenty eight thousand Won (원). That is ₩28,000 KRW.

So you're looking at about probably twenty four US dollars. So yeah, really not bad value when you consider that you know we had a seafood feast here. It wasn't just the dishes that we had. We also had a lot of different side dishes that included seafood and fish.

So overall it was a big meal and definitely stuffed. And if you can come and visit the Noryangjin Fish Market (노량진시장) it is an experience. You come and you walk around of course and you experience the market and then to come out and have food. It is definitely something we recommend doing in Seoul (서울).
