Pohang Jukdo Market

0123456789

Pohang Jukdo Market first started as a small gathering of local vendors who sold their wares at the large fields of reeds in Pohang Inner Harbor. Now, over five decades later, the market has become one of the largest traditional markets in the Gyeongsangbuk-do area.

Along with the Pohang Jukdo Market, visitors will also find the Jukdo Fish Market, only 500m away from Ogeori (the heart of Pohang). The largest open-run market in the east, the seafood wholesale market is made up of 200 raw fish stores, offering the area’s best catches. Nearby restaurants sell quality hoe (sliced raw fish) dishes at incredibly low prices. The market is famous nationwide for mulhoe (raw fish in cold broth), served with seasonal catches, and jeonbok juk (abalone rice porridge). In the wintertime visitors can get a taste of gwamegi, a local specialty of the Pohang area.
