Good to know

• Unlike Buheunghoetjip or Dongbukhoetjip, it has no history of appearing on broadcasts (Baekban Gi-haeng, Live Today Evening, etc.), so fewer people come from far away.
• It's not a system like Mukho Port Live Fish Sales Center where you pick your own fish and pay only the filleting fee, so you cannot choose the types of hoe yourself.
