I took a small yellowtail back to my accommodation and enjoyed its thick-cut, pleasantly chewy, nutty-tasting slices; the route down to the basement may be confusing on a first visit. ## Good to know - **Location**: Basement 145, Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 지하145호) - **Order**: Takeout of one small yellowtail - **Preparation**: The fish was taken from the tank and prepared immediately after ordering. - **Takeout items at the time of visit**: Ice pack, soy sauce, chojang, and wasabi - **Dine-in**: There were indoor seats for dining, and I felt there were quite a few of them. *as written by the visitor on Sep 7, 2026* After looking around the market on my Sokcho trip, I wanted an easy dinner back at my accommodation. This time, I got sashimi to go from Jinmi Hwareo Center (진미활어센터) inside Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. ![Takeout sashimi chosen for dinner during a Sokcho trip](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-01-123jg-900.webp) I chose yellowtail. I took one small fish back with me, and it was nice to eat it slowly at my accommodation without being rushed for time. ![Yellowtail sashimi from Jinmi Hwareo Center in Sokcho](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-02-76z6m-900.webp) ## Where is Jinmi Hwareo Center in Sokcho Jungang Market? Jinmi Hwareo Center is in the basement of Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market. It was an easy route for picking up sashimi while browsing the food stalls at Sokcho Jungang Market. ![Jinmi Hwareo Center beneath Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-03-5p563-900.webp) However, the way down to the basement can be a little confusing on a first visit. I went farther inside the market and headed down to the basement seafood section. Once downstairs, the row of sashimi shops gave it a fish-market atmosphere. ## Which fish did I choose, and how was it prepared? There were several fish in the tanks, so I could look at them and choose one myself. I also saw seafood including squid, with both wild-caught and farmed options available. ![Fish and seafood available at Jinmi Hwareo Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-04-tdint-900.webp) ![Tanks with fish and seafood at Jinmi Hwareo Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-05-1x9u9-900.webp) This time, I wanted something other than flounder, so I asked which fish was in season. Yellowtail caught my eye among the recommendations, so I decided to take it out. Once I ordered, they took one yellowtail from the tank and prepared it right away. ![Yellowtail taken from the tank and prepared after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-06-1uj75-900.webp) ![Yellowtail sashimi preparation at Jinmi Hwareo Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-07-j8sxe-900.webp) ![Yellowtail sashimi prepared for a takeout order](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-08-feqm0-900.webp) ## Was the packaging good for taking back to my accommodation? Seeing it prepared and packed in front of me made it feel fresher. Since I had to carry it back to my accommodation, I also checked the packaging. ![Yellowtail sashimi package ready for the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-09-8kt2p-900.webp) It was carefully packed for carrying, and they included an ice pack. Thanks to that, I could bring it back to my accommodation comfortably. ![Sashimi takeout items provided by Jinmi Hwareo Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-10-i1vap-900.webp) ![Jinmi Hwareo Center sashimi packed for the trip back](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-11-aoaae-900.webp) ## Are there seats for eating in besides takeout? There were quite a few seats inside where people could eat. I got takeout, but it was also a place where you could dine in. ![Dining seats inside Jinmi Hwareo Center](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-12-1b53i-900.webp) ![Inside Jinmi Hwareo Center when leaving with takeout](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-13-9y24y-900.webp) As I left with my sashimi, the space I looked around gave me the impression that it was kept clean. ## Did the takeout include sauces to eat at my accommodation? When I opened the package at my accommodation, the sashimi was neatly arranged. They had also included soy sauce, chojang (sweet-and-tangy chili dipping sauce), and wasabi, so it was easy to set everything on the table and eat. ![Yellowtail sashimi and sauces laid out at the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-14-bvphw-1200.webp) After washing up and changing into comfortable clothes, I ate dinner slowly. It saved me the trouble of putting together a separate meal while traveling, so I was glad I had brought it back. ## How thick was the yellowtail sashimi, and how did it taste? ![Jinmi Hwareo Center yellowtail sashimi prepared for accommodation dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-15-g2acj-900.webp) Yellowtail was not a fish I was familiar with, but it was better than I expected from the first bite. It was sliced to a good thickness rather than too thin, so I could really feel the texture when chewing. ![Yellowtail sashimi sliced to a good thickness](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-16-5d4gz-900.webp) ![Thick-cut yellowtail sashimi enjoyed at the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-17-174xn-900.webp) When I tried it, it was pleasantly chewy with a nutty flavor, so I kept reaching for more. ![Yellowtail from Jinmi Hwareo Center laid out at the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-18-15ngs-900.webp) ![Yellowtail sashimi takeout eaten slowly at the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-19-15zkz-900.webp) ![Yellowtail sashimi remembered for its nutty flavor](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-20-1sskh-900.webp) ![Jinmi Hwareo Center yellowtail with a pleasantly chewy texture](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-21-1qld7-900.webp) Perhaps because I had watched it being taken from the tank and prepared right away, it felt fresh when I ate it too. The things I remember most from this takeout were the yellowtail's thick slices and springy texture. ![Takeout sashimi from one small yellowtail](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-22-1f0ax-900.webp) ![Thick yellowtail sashimi eaten at a Sokcho trip accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-23-1ufsa-900.webp) ![Jinmi Hwareo Center yellowtail enjoyed for accommodation dinner](https://img.superchart.com/images/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout-24-1cnxt-900.webp) This dinner of one small yellowtail taken back to my accommodation was satisfying. Its nutty flavor stayed with me, and I wanted to go back for yellowtail again. ## Where it is - Jinmi Hwareo Center (진미활어센터) (진미활어센터) - Basement 145, Sokcho Tourist & Fishery Market, 16 Jungang-ro 147beon-gil, Sokcho-si, Gangwon State, South Korea (강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 지하145호) - 강원특별자치도 속초시 중앙로147번길 16 속초관광수산시장 지하145호 - 38.2042912, 128.5901072 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%A7%84%EB%AF%B8%ED%99%9C%EC%96%B4%EC%84%BC%ED%84%B0/@38.2042912,128.5901072,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@soban-notes/jinmi-sokcho-amberjack-takeout/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
