Choosing that day’s sashimi at Ungcheon Port

Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market, a popular sashimi spot in Yeosu, is at Ungcheon Port in Ungcheon-dong! The male owner catches the fish himself every day, and the female owner sells it straight away, so this is a sashimi place that guarantees both freshness and great prices.

Park in the large open lot, walk for about a minute, and you’ll see a little cluster of sashimi restaurants! Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market is easy to spot from afar thanks to its balloon signboard.

Since the male owner catches the fish himself every day, the menu changes from day to day! When I visited, there were sea bass, olive flounder, red sea bream, and iced sea bream. They also had sea squirts and sea cucumbers. The item you want might not be available, so I recommend calling before you go.

I wanted black porgy, but they told me they couldn’t catch any because it was so windy. So I chose red sea bream instead. The fish was so quick and full of energy... they barely managed to catch it. It was flapping around like crazy—falling right to the bottom of the basket and causing total chaos..

From prepping red sea bream to insulated packing

Wait, I guess there are machines that remove fish skin these days!! Usually, whether I’m eating sashimi or picking up a takeout order, all the prep happens inside the kitchen, so you rarely get to see this. But at Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market, you can watch it happen right in front of you. The kitchen was clean, and the female owner was so quick that I don’t think it even took 10 minutes!! Such bouncy, pearly-white red sea bream with pink flesh..

The owner packed it carefully with a huge ice pack and insulated bag. She also included a pack of sauces!! Now, off to the accommodation with a happy little skip in my step.

Thick-cut red sea bream sashimi with ice still intact at my stay

Thanks to the owner at Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market packing everything so carefully in an insulated bag, it stayed beautifully fresh! I stopped by Yi Sun-sin Square in Yeosu after picking up the sashimi before heading to my accommodation, so I think two or three hours had passed—but the ice had not melted at all and was still rock-solid.

A pup smelling the sashimi and getting excited. Baby, you can’t eat it...!

I prefer thick-cut sashimi over thin slices. The owner at Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market sliced it exactly as thick as I like... I was drooling before I even ate it..... Just look at that bouncy, pearly-white red sea bream.....

The sauce pack from Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market had four sauces in one pack: chojang (sweet-tangy red chili dipping sauce), ssamjang (savory soybean-chili paste), wasabi, and soy sauce! Such an all-purpose little thing.. hehe. With my heart fluttering, I picked up a piece, and from the very tips of my chopsticks I could feel how firm and chewy the fish was. I picked up a big piece and popped it right into my mom’s mouth~,, and it made a “crunch crunch” sound hahaha. You could hear the sashimi’s bouncy chewiness without even taking a bite!

Is this the fin meat..? Ahh,, so chewy and bouncy.. Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market guarantees freshness, so you don’t need to worry about any fishy smell..

I dunked it deeply in chojang, tried it with a little ssamjang too... then wrapped a big bite in the perilla leaves I had prepared so diligently, and before I knew it, the sashimi was gone... Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market is a great Yeosu sashimi spot with no middle distributor, so it offers fresh sashimi at a good price! If you call before visiting, they are incredibly helpful and can have your order packed in advance, so you can pick it up with no waiting. They catch lively fish and slice it into sashimi right away, so there is no fishy smell at all, and you can enjoy that chewy, bouncy texture at a great price. If you want a simple drink at home or are looking for sashimi to take back to your accommodation, I highly recommend Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market~!
