Han River picnic sashimi takeout in Yeouido, Seoul: Ttangkkeut Maeul

Hi, it's Gureumi! The weather's gotten cooler lately and I've been seeing so many people enjoying sashimi with a shot of soju by the Han River haha!!!

So I wanted to try a Han River sashimi picnic myself, and I visited Ttangkkeut Maeul, a well-known sashimi spot at Noryangjin Fish Market. Let me show you in detail how I packed the sashimi and enjoyed the Han River picnic!!

Where is Ttangkkeut Maeul in Noryangjin Fish Market, and what are its hours?

Ttangkkeut Maeul is located at 674 Noduel-ro, 1F, units 42-43, Noryangjin Fish Market, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, and it's open daily from 09:00 to 20:30. It's closest if you enter through Gate 1 (South) or Gate 2 (South).

I arrived at Noryangjin Fish Market to pack sashimi to eat by the Han River. I headed into the market to find Ttangkkeut Maeul, today's destination.

Once inside the market, seafood shops lined both sides of the aisle. Each shop had a sign with its name and number, so I checked the signs as I made my way to Ttangkkeut Maeul.

Ttangkkeut Maeul is closest if you enter through Gate 1 (South) or Gate 2 (South).

You could see the staff were super busy already with lots of reservations!!

Ttangkkeut Maeul's live tanks and origin labels

The tanks in front of Ttangkkeut Maeul were kept clean and well-managed, and the origin labels were trustworthy too. I felt like I could eat here with confidence!!

There were all kinds of fish and seafood in the tanks in front of the shop! They must keep maintaining them because they were super clean, so I could trust what I was eating haha

There's a wide menu, and if you take part in the review event they'll give you sweet shrimp as a service — make sure to join and grab your sweet shrimp!!

How to carry sashimi from Noryangjin to the Han River

When I mentioned we were eating by the Han River, the owner tossed in an extra ice pack — what a thoughtful touch haha!! Thank you!

We packed the sashimi and headed to nearby Yeouido Hangang Park. It's close if you get off at Nodeul Station! Highly recommend it as a sashimi picnic spot!!!

What's in the small assorted jack mackerel platter at Ttangkkeut Maeul?

To welcome fall, we ordered Ttangkkeut Maeul's small jack mackerel assorted sashimi set. It was generously composed of striped jack mackerel, flounder, red seabream, and sea bass, giving us a proper sashimi picnic experience.

The set comes with sashimi, chogochujang (vinegared chili paste), ssamjang (thick soybean paste), and four packets of soy sauce! They gave us plenty of soy sauce too — four packets — which is great for someone like me who loves dipping generously!!

Sashimi with a view of the Han River!! It was so romantic haha. The autumn breeze was so nice and cool too, perfect for a picnic these days!🍃

How did the autumn jack mackerel taste at Yeouido Hangang Park?

Autumn jack mackerel has more fat on it, so it was nutty and had a nice firm, springy texture.

Autumn jack mackerel sashimi enjoyed while looking at the Han River night view!

They gave us plenty of wasabi too, so we never ran short. Can you see the fat marbling on the sashimi? It was really chewy and the richness of the fat was so sweet haha.

The jack mackerel came in generous portions too, so I'd dip it in chogochujang and take a bite!

The nutty red seabream was great dipped in wasabi soy sauce too haha. So chewy and just the right thing to eat right now.

Is Ttangkkeut Maeul worth it for a Han River sashimi picnic?

This time I picked up a small jack mackerel assorted sashimi set from Ttangkkeut Maeul and ate it by the Han River! Looking out at the river with sashimi and a shot of soju felt like such a nice, easygoing little picnic. If you want to pack sashimi from Noryangjin Fish Market for a Han River picnic, I highly recommend Ttangkkeut Maeul!!
