Why here
Sudong Sanghoe sits on the first floor of the fish hall inside Garak Market, and unlike the stall-and-carry system most Seoul fish markets run on, you order live fish and eat it at the same table. The house plate is a mixed live-fish platter at ₩40,000 a head that arrives with a spread of market side dishes; mineo croaker is the summer draw and daebangeo yellowtail the winter one. Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2026.
