Jagalchi Market

자갈치시장

Nampo-dong, Busan · 부산

A large harbourside seafood market run largely by women traders, where you choose from the tanks on the ground floor and take it upstairs to be prepared.

Why it’s worth it

The system is the experience: pick, pay, then eat it two minutes later on the floor above. Agree the price before anything is cut, and mornings are far better than afternoons.
