The market handles about 50% of metropolitan volumes and 250 to 300 tons of marine products are traded every day. The prices of marine products are decided according to the quantity so one is recommended to visit the official website to check the bid. General retail prices are 10 to 20% higher than the auction prices. Mixing across wholesales and retails, the market offers live atmosphere of early morning market, starting from 1 a.m. and offers various interesting scenes to see. In particular, at around 3 a.m., a live fish auction allows visitors to feel the authentic market place atmosphere among sellers and buyers. Currently both market buildings are active, although many facilities are closed down in the old building and there are many quiet parts of the new building.

Active and thriving seafood market, officially closed in 2016 but inhabited by rogue vendors until 2019. Last I saw there is a protest set up nearby in front of Noryangjin Station. Currently the old building is gone but the evictee protest camp still occupies an overpass from the station.

The market originally opened in 1927 next to Seoul Station (but possibly Yongsan Station if the KTO is wrong?), moving to its current spot in 1971. More recently, a new building was constructed to move into, but the marketers prefer the old building for a variety of reasons, including that they get more retail space.

The remaining marketers are expected to move into the new building, next door, and the old building will be demolished.
