Dongmyeonghang Live Fish Sashimi Center photo

This is a cluster of stalls selling live fish beside the Dongmyeong Port pier. Pick a fish from the tanks, have it sliced on the spot, then take the sashimi to a table-service area to eat.

They mainly handle seasonal white-fleshed fish and squid, and they may combine several kinds into an assorted platter. Many visitors ask prices on site and choose a shop rather than reserving ahead.

Yeonggeumjeong and Sokcho Lighthouse Observatory are close enough to walk between, so it's easy to pair with a seaside stroll. As a port, it tends to open from early morning, giving you a wide choice of times.

Useful tips

  • After your fish is sliced, a separate table-setting fee is added, so ask for the total before ordering.
  • Prices vary by shop, so comparing two or three places before choosing reduces the chance of a miss.
  • Yeonggeumjeong and Sokcho Lighthouse Observatory are within walking distance, so you can continue with a stroll after the meal.
  • If you plan to pack it and eat at your accommodation, it's a good idea to ask for ice too.

Frequently asked questions

After the sashimi is prepared, where do we eat it?

The setup is to have your chosen live fish sliced, then move to a restaurant in the same building that provides the table setting. Seat and side-dish charges are added separately by head count, so it's best to check ahead.
