Craving seasonal large shrimp, the writer ordered salt-grilled shrimp and butter-grilled shrimp heads, and the basic table spread that came with them was generous too: salad topped with sashimi, salted pollack roe and seaweed soup. With live shrimp and fish still swimming in the tank and a wide dining room, Veteran General Fish Market works well for work dinners and group gatherings. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1st floor, 120 Guwolnam-ro, Namdong-gu, Incheon - **Getting there**: 386m from Yesulhoegwan Station Exit 1 - **Hours**: Monday–Sunday, 11:30–00:30 - **What we ordered**: Salt-grilled shrimp, butter-grilled shrimp heads - **Basic table spread**: Salad topped with sashimi, salted pollack roe, seaweed soup *as written by the visitor on Sep 17, 2026* ![Signature shrimp dish photo at Veteran General Fish Market Incheon City Hall Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-01-1p4bj-1200.webp) Incheon shrimp restaurant, Incheon grilled tiger prawns ![Exterior of Veteran General Fish Market Incheon City Hall Branch on Guwolnam-ro](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-02-fpa7p-900.webp) > 120 Guwolnam-ro, 1st floor, Namdong-gu, Incheon / 386m from Yesulhoegwan Station Exit 1 / Monday–Sunday 11:30–00:30 ## Why go to Veteran General Fish Market in Guwol-dong for seasonal shrimp? With the weather getting cooler lately, I've been craving all sorts of seasonal food. Especially plump shrimp — so I looked around and ended up at Veteran General Fish Market Incheon City Hall Branch!! It's near Incheon City Hall so it's easy to get to, and the place is pretty spacious, which makes it great for dining or drinking with a group. There's also a fish tank, so you get that proper seafood-restaurant vibe right as you walk in. What we ordered that day was salt-grilled shrimp and butter-grilled shrimp head! ![Live fish tank at the entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-03-1si88-900.webp) Before going in, I checked out the fish tank and saw everything — fish, shrimp — looking super fresh. And in really good condition too!! ![Seasonal live shrimp in the tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-04-j1d4e-900.webp) They say it's peak season right now. Hello there!! ![Interior view of the seafood restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-05-13ncg-900.webp) ![Spacious hall seating area](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-06-g1re8-900.webp) ### A wide dining room that fits work dinners and group gatherings The inside of Veteran General Fish Market Incheon City Hall Branch is really spacious, so it seemed like a great spot for company dinners, eating out, or gatherings. ![Table setting before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-07-1b1r5-900.webp) Since it's peak season, we couldn't skip the shrimp heads with the salt-grilled shrimp! So we went ahead and ordered butter-grilled shrimp heads too. Once we ordered, I got really excited~ ![Generously laid out basic table setting](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-08-13xis-900.webp) ![Sashimi salad and side dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-09-1arpl-900.webp) ![Savory salted pollack roe side dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-10-zrgui-900.webp) ## The basic table spread: sashimi salad, salted pollack roe and seaweed soup The basic table setting was so generous and varied. Let's enjoy that first before the main dishes arrive!! There's a salad piled high with sashimi, and the chewy raw fish went really well with the lettuce. And the salted pollack roe — salty yet savory, so good!! ![Seaweed soup served as a basic side](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-11-blgy3-900.webp) The seaweed soup broth was the real deal~ ## How is the salt-grilled shrimp served? The salt-grilled shrimp comes out generously piled into a pot, and the savory smell rising as it cooks really gets your appetite going!! Peeling and eating tiger prawns is fun in itself, on top of the eating. The moment it hit the table, it already looked so appetizing!! The shrimp's color turned prettier and prettier as it cooked, and just waiting for it somehow made me even hungrier. ![Salt-grilled shrimp cooking in a pot](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-12-1u6w3-900.webp) ![Tiger prawns grilled to a reddish color](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-13-158sd-900.webp) Peeling the shell and taking a bite, the shrimp meat was firm and springy with a mild saltiness — delicious even plain!! Shrimp really does taste best hot. Before I knew it, I was reaching for another one, then another. That clean, savory flavor unique to salt-grilling made it a great drinking snack too~ Peel one, eat it, peel another, chatting away — and before I knew it, my hand kept reaching for more. There's a certain fun in peeling the shells too, making it a great dish to sit around and share with others!! ![Peeled, firm shrimp meat](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-14-dscgu-900.webp) ![Plate of leftover shrimp heads set aside](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-15-kct34-900.webp) ## Finishing with butter-grilled shrimp heads After finishing the bodies, we grilled just the heads in butter separately, and a strong savory aroma rose up — the crispy bits paired really well with the shrimp's rich flavor!! It's a totally different taste from the body, so it felt like eating a whole shrimp down to the last bit~ After the salt-grilled shrimp, finishing off with butter-grilled heads was a nice little delicacy. If you love shrimp, this combo isn't one to miss. ![Shrimp heads grilled in butter](https://img.superchart.com/images/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill-16-1wkeu-900.webp) ## Verdict: when is Veteran General Fish Market worth the trip? It was a great place to visit near Incheon City Hall when craving fresh seafood or seasonal shrimp dishes, and perfect for chatting over a plate of shrimp!! Next time I'd like to try the sashimi or other seafood menu instead of shrimp, so I'm planning to go back :) ## Where it is - Veteran General Fish Market Incheon City Hall Branch (베테랑종합어시장 인천시청점) - 120 Guwolnam-ro, 1st floor, 102-104 ho, Namdong-gu, Incheon, South Korea - 인천광역시 남동구 구월남로 120 1층 102-104호 - 37.4531048, 126.7027478 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%B2%A0%ED%85%8C%EB%9E%91%EC%A2%85%ED%95%A9%EC%96%B4%EC%8B%9C%EC%9E%A5%20%EC%9D%B8%EC%B2%9C%EC%8B%9C%EC%B2%AD%EC%A0%90/@37.4531048,126.7027478,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@bupyeong-side-table/guwol-dong-veteran-fish-market-shrimp-salt-grill/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
