Dongjak seafood restaurant thin-sliced sashimi: Ttangkkeut Maeul

I picked up a Korean flatfish and rockfish sashimi platter from Ttangkkeut Maeul (땅끝마을) at Noryangjin Fish Market. When getting sashimi to go at Noryangjin Fish Market, the condition and price matter, of course, but it is also helpful to know what fish are available, how the tanks are managed, and what comes with the order beforehand, right? This time, I’ll share everything from the Korean flatfish and rockfish platter I picked up at Ttangkkeut Maeul to how the sashimi was when I actually ate it.

Ttangkkeut Maeul at Noryangjin Fish Market: location and ordering

There are so many places selling sashimi inside Noryangjin Fish Market that, on a first visit, you might wonder where to choose. The place I got my sashimi takeaway from this time was Ttangkkeut Maeul. Ttangkkeut Maeul is at live-fish stalls 42 and 43 by South Gate 1. Walk straight 10 steps from South Gate 1, then it is on the left.

The tanks in front of the shop held Korean flatfish, rockfish, and several other kinds of fish, so you can look at their condition yourself and choose what you want. I had ordered by phone before visiting, so my sashimi was already packed up when I arrived—it was really convenient.

When buying sashimi at a fish market, being able to check the actual tanks and the fish for sale yourself—not just photos or a menu—is definitely a plus! I chose a Korean flatfish and rockfish sashimi platter, which Ttangkkeut Maeul calls Guknaesan Gwang-u Hoe.

Guknaesan Gwang-u Hoe medium: price and portion

The medium Guknaesan Gwang-u Hoe costs ₩90,000. It looks like quite a lot, right? It was enough for three people.

I like familiar types of sashimi such as flatfish and rockfish, and they are easy for several people to enjoy together. Ttangkkeut Maeul has its own menu, and you can order through Naver Booking or In-eogyoju Haejeokdan, so it was easy to check the selling price precisely. Comparing the composition and portion even for the same kinds of fish made the purchase feel transparent, which I liked.

What came with the Korean flatfish and rockfish sashimi takeaway

When I opened the sashimi takeaway, the set was simple. It came with sashimi, chojang, and ssamjang as standard, but no wrap vegetables such as perilla leaves or lettuce. If you like wrapping your sashimi, it would be best to prepare some perilla leaves or lettuce separately. The most important thing, of course, is the condition of the sashimi, right?

How the flatfish and rockfish held up on a summer day

The Korean flatfish and rockfish sashimi platter I picked up this time was very fresh! Even though I took it home on a summer day, it stayed neat, without getting disarranged or soft, and both the flatfish and rockfish were easy to enjoy. The flatfish was mild and easy to eat, while the rockfish had a little more chew, so alternating between the two felt less tiring than eating just one kind of sashimi.

Especially, they sliced it thin just as I requested, so it was very easy to eat, haha. Maybe because it was sashimi freshly prepared at the fish market, it was so fresh that soy sauce alone was enough rather than using lots of sauce. I had minari (water dropwort) at home, so I tried it with that. You know how well fragrant minari goes with sashimi, right? If you like familiar fish such as flatfish and rockfish, I think the Guknaesan Gwang-u Hoe set, which lets you have both together, is a good option too, haha.

If you are planning a sashimi takeaway from Noryangjin Fish Market, try ordering from Ttangkkeut Maeul in advance before visiting. The Guknaesan Gwang-u Hoe I had this time paired flatfish and rockfish and was sliced thin to my preference, making it easy to eat. For anyone looking for a sashimi platter at Noryangjin Fish Market, it was easy to compare the price and composition.
