DAY-OF PLAN
Know the sequence before you go.
Times from the operator are kept separate from Korea Era planning guidance.
01
Choose the merchant and product
The market is a district of independent salted-seafood businesses. Confirm the target shop's current hours, closure, stock and shipping rather than relying on one market-wide clock.
02
Taste and compare the complete product
Ask about seafood species, origin, salt level, fermentation, storage, package weight and total price before buying. Samples do not prove allergen safety.
03
Arrange cold storage and leakage protection
Confirm refrigeration, sealed packing, delivery timing and airline or rail baggage suitability with the merchant before leaving Ganggyeong.
No. Merchants keep independent hours, rest days and stock. Confirm any essential shop directly.
Can a free sample prove the product is safe for my seafood allergy?
No. Salted seafood, fish sauce and shared utensils can cause cross-contact. Ask the merchant about exact ingredients and avoid tasting when safety is uncertain.
