About this place

A working neighbourhood market in Mokpo, best known for skewers and freshly fried snacks.

A neighbourhood market rather than a tourist one: vegetables from nearby farms, side dishes sold by weight, and stalls frying skewers and hotteok through the afternoon. It is the easiest place in Mokpo to eat well for very little.

Jeollanam-do's food is closely connected to the land and sea. Explore lively markets, seasonal ingredients, fresh seafood and generous local tables.
