CNN stated, "Visitors can personally choose live fish and shellfish, and have them cooked right away at restaurants located on the upper floor of the market," adding, "It truly offers an ultra-fresh seafood experience, taking you 'from tank to table.'"
The network also introduced bargaining as a part of the market's culture. CNN showed customers freely negotiating prices with vendors, and noted that this lively atmosphere is one of the unique charms of Noryangjin.
CNN also offered a piece of advice for visitors: since the market floor is often wet, it is recommended to wear sneakers or waterproof shoes. In fact, the CNN reporter who visited the market shared that she experienced discomfort after wearing flat shoes during her visit.
