Sorae Fish Market, a representative fish market in the capital region, is a modernized version of a naturally formed fish market from the 1970s. After opening its first modernized building in 2011, it experienced a fire in 2017, but reopened in a new building in 2020, taking on its current clean and vibrant appearance. Here, you can find a variety of live fish and seafood, including halibut, rockfish, and king crab, as well as seasonal seafood such as blue crabs in the spring and shrimp and salted seafood in the fall.
You can enjoy a gourmet experience by personally selecting, bargaining for, and purchasing fresh seafood at the first-floor shops, and then tasting it immediately as sashimi, steamed dishes, or spicy fish stew at the restaurants on the 2nd and 3rd floors by paying a table setting fee. Recently, the Shrimp Tower Observatory, shaped like the shrimp that is the symbol of Sorae Fish Market, has emerged as a new landmark and is also gaining attention as a night view attraction.
