The Anyang Agricultural and Fishery Wholesale Market has played a central role in local distribution,
handling not only agricultural products but also seafood,
which has led to its growing scale.
Perhaps that's why the facilities are well-maintained,
and it feels surprisingly pleasant.
I was pleasantly surprised by its cleanliness, as I had expected a traditional market vibe.

As soon as I entered the seafood market,
the rows of live fish tanks were a magnificent sight.
From flounder and rockfish to snow crab, king crab, abalone, and octopus,
there's everything you could want.
Watching them being pulled directly from the tanks,
the freshness is undeniable,
and the visual delight naturally opens your wallet.
