Dongmun Traditional Market, steeped in history, stands a quintessential market of Jeju Island. Together with the adjacent Dongmun Traditional Fish Market, it forms the core of Jeju’s most significant and expansive permanent market, established right after Korea’s liberation in August 1945. Originally the island’s only permanent marketplace and a hub for its commercial activities, the market was relocated to its present site after a devastating fire in March 1954. It offers an array of goods such as vegetables, fruits, seafood, medicinal herbs, grains, and clothing. Known for its fresh catch, the market is a go-to place for seafood lovers, offering delicacies like sliced raw cutlassfish at reasonable prices. It’s also gaining popularity for its innovative dishes, including samhap (skate, pork, and kimchi combo) served with rice and abalone intestines, as well as tteokgalbi (grilled galbi patties) accompanied by whole abalone.
