Where Busan's catch comes ashore. Point at flounder, rockfish or abalone in the ground-floor tanks, they weigh and slice it on the spot, then send it upstairs to a restaurant where you pay a table fee and eat. They will boil the leftovers into maeuntang, so the meal finishes itself. Outside, grilled-fish and eel stalls fill the street with smoke.
