Today's a genuinely precious review — a hidden gem of Yeosu travel, a real true local favorite that only insiders know about: Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market. Eating sashimi in Yeosu? I'm going here for the rest of my life..... My satisfaction is seriously five point five quintillion stars ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ No more preamble, let's start ![Exterior of Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market on Sinwol-ro, Yeosu](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-01-ial62-900.webp) ## What is Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market on Sinwol-ro, Yeosu? Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market is a takeout-focused sashimi shop right by the harbor on Sinwol-ro in Yeosu. The husband personally catches fresh, in-season seafood, and the wife sells it directly at the shop. When you come to Yeosu, everyone wants to have at least a bite of sashimi, right? But when you actually go to a famous restaurant, prices are steep while the plate is loaded with side dishes (skidashi) and the actual sashimi portion is disappointingly small — I bet everyone's had that experience at least once. I also pounded the pavement this trip looking for a truly fresh, generous sashimi place, and I finally found this true hidden gem that locals in Yeosu talk about. ### The fishing boats moored in front of Uchangho The moment I arrived at Uchangho, the first thing that caught my eye was the fishing boats docked right in front of the shop. The store sits right at the harbor, with that unmistakable sea breeze — the second I saw the boats, I thought, 'ah, this place is legit!' and my trust shot up instantly!! ![Fishing boats docked at the harbor in front of the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-02-hkb5a-900.webp) ![Sea breeze and harbor scenery around the direct-sales market](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-03-dpbqk-900.webp) Stepping inside, it's a cozy, compact direct-sales shop! Instead of a fancy restaurant built around elaborate side dishes, it's a takeout-focused shop that's all about the fresh sashimi and seafood itself. Small but kept spotless, which made me trust it even more. ![Cozy, clean interior of the sashimi direct-sales shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-04-7m7gd-900.webp) ![Live fish tank inside the shop](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-05-dv1af-900.webp) ## Why Uchangho is cheap: direct sales with no auction The biggest reason Uchangho stands apart from other shops is its distribution structure. Most sashimi restaurants go through multiple layers of distributors or buy through auctions, which inevitably drives up the price. At Uchangho, the husband catches in-season fish and seafood himself at sea, and instead of sending it to auction, the wife sells it directly at the shop! With zero middlemen, you get top-tier sashimi at the lowest prices anywhere in Yeosu. ### Freshness rule: fish held more than 3 days goes to auction They sell directly first, before the fish would go to the day's auction, and if any stock is left after 3 days, they send it straight to auction without hesitation. That means no matter when you visit, you're only ever getting the freshest, best-condition, 100% wild sashimi. There's a real reason behind that top-tier freshness. ![In-season seafood examined before ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-06-sv8o0-900.webp) ![Wild live fish swimming in the tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-07-1yjys-900.webp) ## Ordering wild flounder, 1kg for 40,000 won Since I was also planning a barbecue, I ordered 1kg of flounder! And the price was ₩40,000... isn't that incredibly cheap for wild flounder...? — Note that prices fluctuate a bit depending on the market rate! ![Ordering 1kg of wild flounder](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-08-1ycy0-900.webp) ### Sliced from the tank the moment you order Once you place your order at the shop, the owner's wife scoops the live fish straight out of the tank and slices it right there on the spot. Watching her skilled, precise hands work — she was so kind she kept waving off my thanks — the sashimi came together right in front of me, and honestly just watching made my mouth water. ![The owner's wife scooping the live fish from the tank](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-09-fmrg5-900.webp) ![Slicing the sashimi right after ordering](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-10-2ady7-900.webp) Watching her calmly prep the sashimi, the wait wasn't boring at all, it was actually fun. Being able to watch it happen right in front of you makes it even more fun. ![Flounder sashimi being prepped right in front of the customer](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-11-1mv7p-900.webp) ## Eating the wild flounder sashimi at the accommodation: portion and taste I took the freshly sliced sashimi back to the accommodation and laid it out — the glossy sheen on it made me gasp on sight. ![Packed flounder sashimi spread out at the accommodation](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-12-78l40-900.webp) Yes, this is 1kg of wild flounder. This might not be obvious in photos, but next to the thin-sliced pieces, they originally stacked it up in a tall, generous mound — it just got a bit squished during packing. The pile on the right is the stacked cuts. The portion is absolutely not small!!!! ![Thin sliced cuts next to stacked sashimi portions](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-13-17ltr-900.webp) Since it's 100% wild, in-season fish that's on a whole different level from farmed fish, the sweetness kept rising the more I chewed — a taste I'd never experienced before. I genuinely thought, so this is what real wild flounder tastes like. ![Close-up of glossy wild flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-14-1p8dt-1200.webp) Was wild flounder always this firm and this beautifully colored... ![Plate of firm, vividly colored wild flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-15-5tdnm-900.webp) Ah... it's gorgeous. I want more already. ![A gorgeous piece of flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-16-127xg-900.webp) Writing this post, since I now know the taste, I'm literally wondering if I need to go back to Yeosu just to eat this again. Ugh...................... torture........ ![Flounder sashimi wrapped in a lettuce leaf](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-17-1m1fv-900.webp) ![A firm-textured bite of flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-18-1byep-900.webp) The moment it hit my mouth, that sharp, savory umami unique to sashimi combined with the firm texture... incredible. Not to mention the value for money — the quality itself was far better than big-name sashimi restaurants. Honestly might even beat omakase; ![Mix of thin and thick cut flounder sashimi](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-19-17v0q-900.webp) With thin slices mixed with thicker cuts for chewy texture, it never got boring to eat... ![Generous portion of sashimi that barely shrinks as it's eaten](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-20-158ea-900.webp) Even with the two of us grabbing two pieces at a time, it barely went down. The portion is genuinely generous.. ![Final spread of flounder sashimi eaten by two people](https://img.superchart.com/images/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout/yeosu-sinwol-natural-flounder-takeout-21-ycy7e-900.webp) ## Final verdict: is Uchangho worth it for sashimi takeout in Yeosu? My friend and I are massive seafood lovers, and out of all the sashimi we've ever eaten, we both shouted that this was our best-ever flounder here at Uchangho Sashimi Takeout & Direct Sales Market.
