Tongyeong's seafood market beside the Gangguan harbour, with live fish, morning fish soups and chungmu gimbap nearby.

What to expect
Live fish stalls and everyday shops, with the harbour a short walk away. A traditional blacksmith workshop at Gangguan is also worth a look.
What to eat
Morning fish soups such as jokbok-guk (pufferfish soup) and sirak-guk (clam soup), chungmu gimbap with spicy squid, and ggulppang (honey bread).
