As a representative traditional market of Gangneung, it was established as a permanent market in 1943 and boasts a deep history of over 80 years. True to its status as the largest market in the Yeongdong region, it draws a steady stream of locals and travelers alike, packed with fresh seafood in the underground fish market, agricultural products on the ground level, and diverse foods in every alley. It is always bustling with energy, especially to taste Gangneung's delicacies like crispy and sweet-and-spicy dakgangjeong (deep-fried chicken), savory gamjajeon (potato pancakes) pan-fried on the spot, and stuffed ojingeosundae (squid sausage).
Wander through the market alleys and enjoy the generous hospitality of Gangneung. It is also fun to look for unique souvenirs reflecting the characteristics of Gangneung, the city of coffee, such as coffee bean bread or coffee jam.
