Hey there, fellow food explorers!

Minimanimu here, ready to dish out another fantastic culinary adventure.

Recently, my family and I headed to Noryangjin Fish Market for a special occasion – a King Crab feast!

My brother, a regular at the market, led us to Nodeul Susan, a spot that truly exceeded our expectations in both price and service.

I'm excited to share our experience at this fantastic Noryangjin Fish Market gem for King Crab and Snow Crab!

Nodeul Susan Business Information

It's conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Noryangjin Station Exit 9 and a 4-minute walk from Exit 7, making it easily accessible via both Subway Lines 1 and 9.

Booking & Waiting Tips

Nodeul Susan, a top King Crab spot at Noryangjin Fish Market, accepts phone reservations and even offers delivery service.

On weekends or during peak dinner hours, there can be a wait, so we highly recommend making a reservation in advance.

Exterior / Interior

To find Nodeul Susan, enter Noryangjin Fish Market through South Gate 3, take the central escalator up to the second floor, then walk straight ahead. You'll find it on your right at stalls 2-67 and 2-68 in the live seafood section.

Nodeul Susan is a family affair, run by a young owner who followed in her mother's footsteps, building on over 30 years of market experience, alongside her older brother.

Their friendly and welcoming service made our first visit incredibly comfortable.

The aquariums are immaculately maintained, and they offer a wide variety of fresh seasonal seafood beyond King Crab and Snow Crab, including webfoot octopus, ark shell, and regular octopus, giving you plenty of choices.

Review

We usually bought seafood on the first floor, but Nodeul Susan on the second floor felt noticeably cleaner and more pleasant.

Since my brother was a returning customer, the owner generously provided us with an abundant selection of complimentary seafood appetizers.

After ordering, we were guided to 'Ilbeonji Hoeyangnyeom,' a nearby 'chojangjip' (a restaurant where you pay a small fee to enjoy your purchased seafood with side dishes and sauces). We were lucky enough to snag a table by the window, offering expansive views.

Complimentary Item 1: Live Octopus (Sannakji)

Generous in portion and incredibly fresh, the wriggling octopus offered a delightful, subtly sweet taste.

Complimentary Item 2: Abalone

We received abalone instead of sea cucumber, and its deliciously chewy texture was simply outstanding.

Complimentary Item 3: Steamed Scallops, Clams, and Shrimp

A bountiful serving of red scallops, shrimp, and clams! They were perfectly purged, ensuring no grit, and tasted incredibly sweet.

Even the 'small' assorted sashimi platter was generously portioned, featuring thick cuts of sea bream, rockfish, flounder fin, and salmon. The fresh wasabi and radish sprouts provided were perfect accompaniments, enhancing the flavors.

While the King Crab and Snow Crab take a little time to steam, the wait flies by as you enjoy the complimentary appetizers and sashimi.

The King Crab arrived expertly prepared, packed with succulent meat that was easy to extract. Dipping it in the rich, savory crab roe from the shell elevated the flavor even further.

The Snow Crab also boasted an impressive meat yield, full and flavorful. Its delicate, sweet taste was truly memorable. If King Crab is like a premium crab cake, then Snow Crab is like a refined crab stick – both delicious in their own unique way!

To cap off the meal, we indulged in the classic crab shell fried rice! Even though we were full, we couldn't resist. We enjoyed the King Crab fried rice right there, and took the Snow Crab fried rice to go.

✔️ Please note: a preparation fee of ~$7 per crab and an additional steaming fee apply.
