Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market

This guide to Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market opens with a fight in a Seoul karaoke room between a fish merchant and market officials, and traces it back to a dispute over a gleaming new building next door to this century-old market on the Han River. You'll hear why some six hundred eighty vendors refused to leave the old sheds when the new one opened in 2016, and what the federation did to try to force them out. Listen for the shouting over live octopus and mackerel that still fills these aisles.
