Mercado de Pescado de Yeosu (여수수산시장)

With a 50-year history, Yeosu Fish Market, the largest of Yeosu's three major seafood markets, retains the familiar charm of a traditional market while offering a pleasant, modernized setting with renovation work completed in 2011. The market epitomizes both tradition and modernity. Here, visitors can find fish species rarely seen in capital-area markets such as snailfish (Mulmegi), rockfish (Bollak), and Spanish mackerel for sashimi-all at affordable prices. The market is divided into three main sections of live fish, dried seafood, and food items. The live fish section uses clean seawater drawn from a dedicated seawater pipeline 400 meters deep, ensuring the freshness of its offerings. The dried seafood section features products processed and sun-dried in sea breeze at an on-site facility located on the market's rooftop. In the food item section, visitors can purchase local specialties such as Yeosu-style gat kimchi and salted seafood. The night market features a variety of fresh seafood-based street foods, attracting crowds. Since the launch of the Viking Night Market in 2016, the area has become even livelier, packed with attractions to see and enjoy.
