Start by asking which fish is good today. Tell the owner how many people are eating and what texture you enjoy. Confirm the fish price and any dining charges before ordering.

01 — YOUR FIRST VISIT

It begins with choosing the fish

Choose at the market, hear the story and follow your fish to the table.

  1. Start with your party and preferences

    Tell the owner how many people are eating and whether you prefer lean or richer fish. You don’t need to know every variety—hear what is available before choosing.

  2. Confirm your fish and the price

    Discuss the fish, quantity and preparation, then confirm the price before ordering. The photographs show serving examples; the assortment can vary with the season and arrivals.

  3. Ask where to dine

    You can enjoy table service at Millennium Hoejip on the fifth floor of Millennium Hoe Center, or at Yunhui Hoejip (윤희횟집) opposite the center. After choosing your fish, ask where to dine and how to get there. Table service, spicy fish stew and rice cost extra; confirm the charges for your party and the ordering conditions beforehand.

03 — THE PERSON BEHIND THE COUNTER

More than selling fish

The owner at the Busan Sanghoe counter
The owner of Busan Sanghoe
More than simply selling fish.

The owner began learning about fish when she was asked to help at a sashimi restaurant, after years as a homemaker. The preparation skills and experience she gained led her to Busan Sanghoe.

For her, the work does not end when the fish is prepared and handed over. It continues until the platter reaches the table, guests are enjoying it and they have the explanations they need. Those relationships bring guests back with new visitors.

Her message to first-time visitors is to listen to the shop’s explanation all the way through, wherever they choose to buy. Knowing what is good that day and how to enjoy it matters more than simply recognizing a fish’s name.
