Korea’s biggest seafood market.
If your life motto is “Live to eat”, not “Eat to live”, and you don’t shy away from casual dining, then the Jagalchi Market will have you grinning from ear to ear. Located in Busan, this is Korea’s largest seafood market, selling produce so fresh that you can eat the live fish right there in the market. Snapper, Flounder, Halibut – you name it and it is served here, sashimi style.
Aside from the usual catch of fishes, you can indulge in an Instagrammable snack - raw octopus (or Sannakji)! Made out of the tentacles of a baby octopus, they continue squirming when they’re served as they are actually still alive! Be sure to take a video for keepsake of this interesting yet truly iconic dish of Korea before you dip the squirming little things into soy sauce and chili. If raw fish is not your cup of tea, don’t worry, there are other types of restaurants available, so make sure you come to the Jagalchi Market ravenous!
