Not much photos for Day 9, so this will be a brief post about the famous Noryangjin Fish Market 노량진수산시장.
Noryangjin Fish Market is like Japan's Tsukiji Fish Market, except probably smaller and without the auctions (or as much).
Opened in 1927 on Uiju Boulevard, Noryangjin is one of Korea's largest seafood markets. The vibrant, abundant year-round market is connected to Noryangjin Station by a bridge.
Over 830 seafood items are available for wholesale and retail purchases. Main items include clams, shrimp, blue crabs, octopuses, sea cucumbers, halibuts, and snappers.
Visitors can purchase fresh seafood and get it sliced into sashimi at one of the restaurants in the market. Or, they can enjoy maeuntang (spicy fish stew), sushi, roasted fish, and fried food there. Opening around three a.m. every day, the market offers an authentic marketplace feel with bustling patrons and fish sellers calling out the day's catch.
We had our pick of fresh fishes and abalones and had them cooked in one of the restaurants within the market.

Random trip to Hangang after that fulfulling lunch of fresh fish and soup =)
A bright day with lots of fluffy fluffy snow that my boots sank all the way in!
Till the next post, where we head off to the East side of the country to live in a caravan park =)
Fly Safe and Eat Happy,
