Gangneung Jungang (Central) Market is a historic traditional market in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon-do. You can find everything from daily essentials to food, but the seafood section on the 1st basement level is a favourite among tourists.
You can shop for both live and dried fish, or go to the market’s raw seafood (hoi) centre to have it prepared right in front of your eyes. There are also plenty of casual dining options specialising in snacks and light meals. The market is also quite famous for sweet and spicy fried chicken (dak-gangjeong), ice-cream pancakes (hotteok), and fishcake croquettes, so don’t forget to try them while you’re there.
