Everything Busan's boats bring in ends up here. Point at flounder, rockfish or abalone in the ground-floor tanks and they weigh and slice it on the spot. You carry it upstairs, pay a table fee at a restaurant and eat. The bones come back as maeuntang, so the meal closes itself. Outside, grilled-fish and hagfish stalls smoke up the street.
