Mukho Port (Donghae City)

Korea (South) / Kangwon / Tonghae / Donghae City
Mukho Port opened in 1941 and used to be the most prolific trading port on the east coast of Korea, but with the steady change in the economy, it has become a center of fishing.

A large wholesale seafood market at the port offers a wide array of seafood from squid to mackerel, as well as mackerel pike, crabs, and sea squirts. From early in the morning on weekends, merchants across the country gather at the market to purchase fresh seafood. Mukho Port, in particular, is renowned for squid along with Jumunjin Port. The port, which is the largest squid market on the east coast is busy every day with boats stuffed to the brim with squid.
