Travelogue-Seoul Day 1 Noryangjin

Its still wet today with a gray gloom looming all over. My plan was to visit Noryangjin Fish Market. Easy enough to get to. Take Line 1 to Noryangjin Station. Once you exit the station, take the pedestrian crossing over the rail tracks

You can smell when you get close. No signs needed, just follow your nose. Its size seems to rival that of Tsukiji. From the looks of it, Noriyangjin seems to provide more variety.
Most of the seafood eaten in Seould passes through here. Not just open to wholesalers, you can purchase anything thats for sale. Also, Tsukiji closes pretty early after the fish are sold off. Usually, this is open until 9:00pm

The area outside the station is worthyh of foot traffic as well. If it not for the rain, Im sure there would be quite a few more people milling about the restaurants and shops. This area reminds me alot of Shinagawa

Across the street from the station, vendors have tents set up ready to seel primarily food. At this time of the morning, 8:30am, only a handful were open
