Yeosu sashimi shop for a family pension dinner: Uchangho

On one chilly day, I’m introducing Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market, a Yeosu sashimi spot where you can enjoy affordable wild-caught sashimi to take away.

Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market inside the Ungcheon Fishing Village Cooperative building

Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market is a five-minute walk from Ungcheon Dream Green Apartments, inside the Ungcheon Fishing Village Cooperative building. See all those boats docked there? “Fishing Village Cooperative building” might make you picture a proper office building, but it’s really more like two container buildings. Don’t get confused!

One of them is this place: Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market, a great sashimi spot in Yeosu. Head all the way inside and you’ll spot it. Uchangho handles wild-caught sashimi only, so the flavor is guaranteed. But then... what about the price?

When you hear “wild-caught sashimi,” you worry about the price first, right? But at Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market, you don’t need to worry about that.

Freshly sliced wild-caught sashimi for takeout

Ta-da! They slice all kinds of live fish sashimi and seafood, freshly caught and incredibly fresh, right there on the spot. And the prices are just...

Are these prices for real? The sashimi selection changes with the season, but the prices are so kind. Where else could you eat wild-caught sashimi at these prices?

Ahh, those knife skills are art! I reserved ahead, and I don’t think it even took 10 minutes for them to catch the fish, slice the sashimi, and pack it up. P-p-p-pro hands at work.

Above all, the hygiene was so good that it felt even more trustworthy. Since it’s a takeout-only place, I was just a little, a very little, worried that it might not be clean—but nope, no worries. Very nice.

Olive flounder sashimi and seafood for a family pension dinner

I packed a platter of olive flounder sashimi, plus sea cucumber and sea squirt, which my younger sibling loves. We were heading to a pension with the family that day, you see. That made Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market the best possible choice. The color is sooo pretty. Go me, go me!

What do you think? That’s a proper spread, right? Beautiful wild olive flounder sashimi, sea squirt, and sea cucumber brighten up the dinner table. It was amazing dipped simply in wasabi soy sauce, in chogochujang (sweet-tangy chili dipping sauce), or wrapped in ssam (leaf wraps). The chewiness of the olive flounder sashimi was insane. The sea squirt and sea cucumber were so delicious too, with none of that fishy taste.
