Noryangjin Fisheries Wholesale Market

I went to the fish market yesterday...WOW.

This open fish market has about 900 shops and they sell everything from live fish to dried and pickled fish products. This place was overwhelming. I really need to go with someone who speaks Hangul, because I need to learn how to shop here. From what I have read, you can have them clean your fish and even cook them for you, but I would have no idea where to begin with this. I bought shrimp and crab legs, the crab legs were already separated, but I did have to chop the heads off the shrimp and clean them. I had a hard time figuring out if the prices were good because they sell the fish by the kilogram. Now I know - the prices were very good because 1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds. I bought 3 kilograms (6.6 pounds) of crab legs for 10.000 won (approximately 10 USD).
