About

Live-tank sashimi by weight, with upstairs rooms for eating in or takeaway near Gwangalli Beach.

The first decision happens at a live tank: point to a fish, have it weighed, then watch it get sliced for you. At Millak Raw Fish Town Market, the ground floor is where you choose and buy; you can take the fish away or carry it upstairs to a simple 초장집 (seasoned-sauce restaurant) to eat. Many stalls use fixed prices by weight, which makes comparing a few options easier than negotiating every purchase. For a chewy, sweet-tasting choice, look for live raw shrimp (생새우회); sellers often shell it, and some add a few extra shrimp or shellfish. Flatfish sashimi (광어회) is another dependable pick, cut fresh after selection. Ask sellers what is good that day: 밀치회, an amberjack-type fish, is also recommended here. The market’s sashimi is commonly eaten with chogochujang and ssamjang, both praised by reviewers. Live octopus is another option if you want something beyond sliced fish. Expect a busy market, narrow upstairs seating and sellers calling out to passers-by. Choose a stall, confirm the fish and weight before buying, then ask how to eat upstairs or take it away. Parking is available; the lot is paid, though dining and getting a shop stamp can reduce the fee. The market is listed as open daily from 09:00 to 02:00, but some upstairs kitchens close earlier, so don’t leave dinner late. Takeaway lets you eat by Gwangalli Beach with the night view. It suits couples, small groups and visitors who want to choose seafood themselves rather than order from a conventional menu. Go with a little patience: the calls can feel pushy, and the upstairs rooms get crowded and cramped. If you prefer a quiet meal or need clear English guidance, this may take more effort than a regular restaurant.
