Why You Shouldn't Overlook Busan, South Korea's Edgy Second City

"Jagalchi Market is a lively market located a short subway ride from the KTX station in Busan. Visitors can explore fresh catches and endemic shellfish on the first floor and enjoy street treats like seafood buns. A stretch of restaurants above the market will prepare your purchases into sashimi or a rich stew, offering a super-local lunch experience. Despite the lack of windows, the atmosphere is vibrant, especially with a little soju to spark conversations with locals."

A unique experience! You won’t find fresher seafood than this. The atmosphere is vibrant, with stalls full of fish, octopus, and other ocean delicacies. It’s not expensive and a must-visit for seafood lovers. A bit crowded, but that’s part of the charm! ⸻ Let me know if you want it shorter, more formal, or even funnier!

Extremely fresh seafood with a wide variety to choose from. On the second floor, the restaurants can cook everything you picked out at the market, in addition to their regular menu. If you enjoy seafood, raw fish, and oysters, this place is a must-visit.

What an experience! Highly highly recommend anyone visiting Seoul to come here. Even if you are not into seafood, come for the experience. I personally love seafood and my husband and I had a meal there cost 60,000 KRW for a platter that would have cost 2-3x back home in Canada. Be prepared for a fast paced environment and bare bones service. It’s all part of the experience!

It was such a huge seafood market with rows and rows of seafood stall. We randomly picked a seafood stand and ordered some crabs and shellfish to share among our family. Overall we thought the price was very reasonable and we were very happy with the quality of the seafood. They have menu with set price with pictures of the dishes so ordering wasn't difficult. This definitely is a must-visit place for all seafood lovers.

A seafood paradise but also a tourist’s trap if you are not careful. I am glad I get to experience the market and had a sumptuous snow crab lunch with fish and kimchi pancake. 2 rounds of banchan were given to us by lady boss from stall 36. Will highly recommend tourists to go up to level 2 to order seafood meal with fixed price. This will save you the trouble of being overcharged.

I definitely don't recommend! Reason: You have to pay double and triple times for extra services that you don't ask for. Beside seafood there will be serving fee, table setting fee, cooking fee and so on. So be careful when travelling in small group and lured by all the sellers. Me and my sister are so fed up.

Big seafood market located near Gukje Market. A lot of the seafood is live and freshly caught. You can buy the seafood downstairs, and bring it upstairs to be cooked and ready to eat. There are a lot of different vendors upstairs so you can look around. Some are pricey, so look around.

Hundreds of vendor stalls with fresh seafood. You pick what you want and they will take it upstairs and cook it for you. The prices are pretty good for fresh seafood, there is a cooking and seating charge upstairs though. We chose a snow crab and eel, vendors always give free gifts, clams. It’s a good experience to try fresh seafood.
