Jukdo Market in Pohang began over 50 years ago as a cluster of street stalls in what was once a reed-filled wetland near the inner harbor. Officially established in 1969, it has grown into the largest traditional market on Korea’s east coast, with around 1,500 stores. Located about 500 meters east of Pohang’s central intersection, the market includes Jukdo Fish Market, where more than 200 hoe (sliced raw fish) restaurants are gathered inside the seafood auction area. Visitors can buy fresh seafood year-round at affordable prices and have it prepared on the spot for a small fee. Pohang specialties such as mulhoe, abalone porridge, and winter-time gwamegi are especially popular.
