Information

The facts

True to its name, the Dongdaemun Grilled Fish Street is full of grilled fish restaurants as well as a few very popular chicken restaurants.

It has been more than 40 years since the development of this area which started with one fried-food restaurant that began to sample grilled fish here and there to customers.

As soon as you step foot in this little alley, your mouth will water because of the irresistible smell of food.
There are about 14 grilled fish restaurants here, with the fish all fired over a charcoal grill to give them a deep, roasted flavor.

It can be overwhelming since there are so many restaurants, but it really doesn't matter which one you go to as every place offers delicious food that has customers coming back over and over again.

Many foreigners also visit the area and tend to like different kinds of fish. Chinese people tend to enjoy the croakers, Westerns like their fish extremely crispy and Japanese people generally go for the grilled mackerel.
