Anna ChernovaAugust 6, 2013Awesome market. Ground floor is fresh market, 1st floor - authentic restaurants and dry fish and stuff, further up a hotel and a sky deck with (not much) view.Upvote9Downvote
KatrinaDecember 19, 2014Great place for seafood lovers. U can pick ur seafood and take upstairs to cook/prepare at a restaurant. Heavily fish based dishes can be ordered straight at the restaurant as well

Leo C.November 18, 2017Amazing place reminiscent of Tsukiji in Tokyo, except here you can buy tons of fresh seafood (super wide selections) and have them cooked at any of the food stalls upstairs. Great experience!Upvote4DownvoteUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Riri GrrSeptember 6, 2019Beware of really pushy ajummas when deciding on a restaurant to dine in. Would recommend Stall #3 (Eun Ju Ne 은주네횟집) for its incredibly fresh and clean seafood, honest price and humble ajumma.

Catsi CatalanMay 31, 2024Though the price was a bit steep, the experience was absolutely worth it. For those seeking an unforgettable gastronomic journey in Busan, Jagalchi’s raw octopus is an experience not to be missed.
UpvoteDownvote- Simple DiscoveriesApril 19, 2016The biggest fish market in Korea and a must-see. Catch it early (we went ~9am) to still see some fish flopping around. Give yourself a good hour to take it all in.

Gregory K.January 21, 2016Really expensive fish. We got a flounder and snapper for 50,000 W. And they cook it / prep it upstairs with Korean salads for another 23,000 w. Kinda annoying how expensive it was. Worth trying once
