Sashimi restaurant in Noryangjin: 650g four-fish platter, Ttangkkeut

Ttangkkeut Maeul / 1st floor, stalls 42 & 43, 674 Nodeul-ro, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, South Korea / Open daily 09:00–20:30

If you're thinking about picking up sashimi to go in Noryangjin, Ttangkkeut Maeul is worth keeping an eye on. This time I ordered the assorted sashimi platter No.1 (medium), 650g for 2-3 people. It comes with flounder, red seabream, mullet and salmon, though mullet gets swapped for sea bass if it's not in stock that day. Honestly, this sashimi felt fresher to me than what I had on a trip to Busan, and the lineup was generous enough to make for a really satisfying meal.

Where is Ttangkkeut Maeul? Stalls 42 & 43, first floor of Noryangjin Fisheries Market

Ttangkkeut Maeul sits in the live-fish sashimi section on the 1st floor of Noryangjin Fisheries Market. It's the kind of place where you can check the fish in the tanks yourself and order right there amid the lively market energy. It's specifically located at stalls 42 and 43, so once you find the live-fish section it's not hard to spot. Noryangjin Fisheries Market itself is packed with sashimi shops, so it can feel a bit overwhelming on your first visit — but knowing the stall numbers ahead of time makes things much easier.

The tanks are kept pretty clean too, which is a plus since you can actually see the condition of the live fish before choosing. Combined with Noryangjin's signature bustling atmosphere, just coming here to pack sashimi already felt like fun market sightseeing.

What comes in the 650g assorted sashimi platter No. 1 (medium), and how it tasted

The menu I ordered this time was Ttangkkeut Maeul's assorted sashimi platter No.1 (medium), 650g for 2-3 people, made up of flounder, red seabream, mullet and salmon. Overall the slices had a good thickness, and each bite had a savory, clean flavor that built up the more you chewed. The flounder and red seabream in particular had great texture, and

with salmon added into the mix, I got to enjoy a nice range between clean white fish and soft, savory fatty fish. Honestly, I found this sashimi fresher overall than what I had in Busan — the freshness really stood out. With assorted platters, sometimes an odd lineup means one type of fish gets left over, but this time each variety had a different flavor, so I kept enjoying it right to the end without getting tired of it.

A full table straight from the box: makjang, chodaeri and pickled radish included

One thing I really liked about Ttangkkeut Maeul was how generously they packed in the sauces and sides. Along with soy sauce and chili vinegar sauce, they also included makjang and chodaeri, plus pickled radish and ginger.

It was so convenient — no need to prep any sauces at home, just open the package and eat. A lot of places only give you soy sauce and chili vinegar sauce, but having makjang and chodaeri too meant I could eat the sashimi like sushi or mix it up depending on my mood. And with the pickled radish and ginger, it was easy to cleanse my palate between bites.

Free spicy fish soup ingredients from Ttangkkeut Maeul on request

If you ask when buying sashimi at Ttangkkeut Maeul, they'll also give you ingredients and sauce for spicy fish soup (maeuntang). I didn't end up making soup at home this time, but it's a great option for anyone who wants to use the leftover fish parts to make it. Rather than just taking sashimi home, being able to finish the meal with a hot bowl of soup makes this especially useful when eating with family or a group.

Eating on the spot at the 5th-floor Haneulchae annex

Ttangkkeut Maeul is affiliated with the Haneulchae annex, so you can take your packed sashimi upstairs and eat immediately. Noryangjin Fisheries Market has table-service restaurants on the 2nd and 5th floors, and the Haneulchae annex on the 5th floor is known for being relatively spacious and clean — good if you want to sit down comfortably right after buying your sashimi. Buying from Ttangkkeut Maeul also makes it easy to get guided up to the Haneulchae annex, so you can handle packing and eating in one go. If you'd rather eat comfortably at home, go for takeout; if you want to eat on the spot, head to the dining floor — either way, you can decide based on what suits you.

Is sashimi takeout at Ttangkkeut Maeul in Noryangjin worth it?

Ttangkkeut Maeul is also known as a partner store of Ineogyoju Haejeokdan, so it's easy to check the menu and prices before visiting. Another plus is the range of menu options, from assorted platters to premium sashimi and Ttang-makase, depending on your taste and group size. The 650g assorted platter I had this time centered on flounder and red seabream and included a nice variety, making it a good fit for 2-3 people. Above all, the freshness of the sashimi itself was satisfying, and with the generous sauces and sides included, it was more than enough to enjoy as takeout sashimi at home.

If you're weighing your options for sashimi takeout in Noryangjin, this is a place worth stopping by on a day when you want to bring home a clean, fresh assorted platter.
