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.
