About

Dongmyeong Live Fish Center, operated by the Sokcho Fisheries Cooperative, is located at Dongmyeong Port in Sokcho. The first floor is lined with hoe (sliced raw fish) shops, where freshly caught fish swim in clear tanks and are prepared on the spot, making the slicing process part of the experience. After selecting your hoe, you can enjoy your meal in the spacious second-floor restaurant. Known for its freshness and reliability, the center is especially popular during the summer season. Conveniently located next to the Sokcho Intercity Bus Terminal, it also offers views of the open East Sea and easy access to nearby attractions such as Yeonggeumjeong Pavilion, Sokcho Lighthouse Observatory, and Deungdae Beach.
