Why here
A no-frills raw-seafood shop inside Cheongnyangni's Gyeongdong Market seafood arcade ("바다먹거리장터"), known for cheap per-item pricing on abalone, shrimp, crab, and assorted raw fish rather than a buffet format despite the name. Weekday afternoons are typically walk-in, while Friday and Saturday evenings draw an on-site waiting line. Featured on Kim Three Meals (김사원세끼).
