A must-visit for your trip to Busan is Jagalchi Market. It is Korea's largest seafood market🐟 Freshly caught fish and shellfish are lined up to the end of the street✨ Inside the building, you can have the seafood you bought cooked and eaten on the second floor, which is the best🎵 The sea is right in front of you, so the view is great, and there is a wide selection of alcoholic drinks🍺 Cooking fee: W5000. Seat fee: W5000 per person. The fishmongers' prices are sometimes high and you need to negotiate, so if you're worried, it's a good idea to eat at a restaurant that clearly states the price😊 In the basement of the market building, there is also a hidden gem restaurant called "Damyang Restaurant 담양식당" that opens from breakfast time for market people. It is located by the sea in Nampo-dong, where there are many tourist attractions, so it is recommended to just drop in and enjoy the atmosphere🎵 On the floor selling dried goods, you can also purchase Korean seaweed. There is an elevator and clean toilets on each floor. 📍Location: 52 Jagalchihaean-ro, Jung-gu, Busan, Korea 🕰️Opening hours: 9am-9pm Subway Line 1, Jagalchi Station Exit 7 is convenient🚃 #BusanTrip #JagalchiMarket #NampoDong #OverseasTravelMemories #BusanTrip2024 #100TravelStyles

#100 Ways to Travel Address: 52 Jagalchihaean-ro, Jung-gu, Busan, South Korea Atmosphere/Facilities: Dining area on the second floor, seafood market, credit card service, restrooms Features: Fresh seafood, valet cooking Price per person: 20,000 won Rating: Busan’s most famous seafood market, with a very large overall building area. There are many seafood vendors on the first floor who will sell you their own fish. Personally, I think the prices are all about the same. It just depends on how well you get along with the boss. There are many kinds of fish and aquatic products that I have never seen before. Most of the prices are clearly marked and credit cards are accepted. Some stores are more passive and don't want to show the price list. Before making a purchase, remember to ask the store owner to see the price list before choosing the seafood. Isolation suggests that flounder and king crab are both seafood worth tasting. The king crab here costs about 200,000 to 240,000 Korean won per kilogram, which is equivalent to 5,000 to 6,000 Taiwan dollars per month. After you have selected your seafood and paid the bill on the first floor, the vendor will ask someone to take you to the second floor to sit. The seat usage and cleaning fee per person is 5,000 won (the store will provide all-you-can-eat side dishes). The cooking fee for valet service will be quoted to you based on the ingredients and cooking methods you choose, but it is mostly 5,000 won. The dining area on the second floor is not very comfortable and the seats are not very spacious. It offers views of the harbour. The table was almost full with side dishes and wine. Therefore, it is recommended that you ask the store to serve the seafood in batches, or pay attention to the amount you order at one time. If you don’t choose the restaurant on the second floor yourself, you can order food or order more directly. In general, the seafood at Jagalchi Market is very fresh, and the prices are not as cheap as before. But compared to seafood in other countries or seafood restaurants in the city, considering the consumption price and dining environment, I personally think it still has a certain degree of cost-effectiveness and competitiveness.

#eatlikealocal #100waysoftravel #southkorea #busan #seafood **"Eating Like a Local: Fresh Seafood Feast at Busan's Jagalchi Market"** One of my favorite experiences when visiting Busan is definitely savoring the fresh, raw seafood at Jagalchi Market. The market is a paradise for seafood lovers, with endless stalls offering everything from raw octopus (sannakji) and live abalone to an array of shellfish, including scallops, mussels, and sea urchins. The raw octopus, still wriggling on the plate, is an adventurous delicacy best eaten with a dipping sauce of sesame oil and salt, providing a burst of flavor and texture. The abalone, tender and briny, is often served raw or lightly grilled, highlighting its natural sweetness. Vendors skillfully prepare the seafood on the spot, and many restaurants within the market will cook your purchases to order, whether grilled, steamed, or served raw in the traditional Korean way. Paired with spicy gochujang, garlic, and fresh vegetables, each bite feels like a celebration of the sea, making it an unforgettable way to eat like a true local. The seafood goes so well with a bottle of soju, just like a scene out of a Korean drama. An ajuma even helped us grill the shellfish and cut them into bite-sized pieces, despite the language barrier. Her kindness, along with the freshness of the seafood, made it an unforgettable way to eat like a true local.

#travellerswonderland You don't have to look far, when looking for the freshest seafood in busan korea. Just head down to the lively Jagalchi seafood market and you will be wowed by the number of stalls at this market. Both inside and outside of the market, are lined with different seafood stalls selling their freshest and nicest seafood products. You can even buy the seafood and have it cooked right away on the 2nd floor of the market where there are restaurants that will help you do so. Do expect to see lots of huge live abalone, clams, different types of shell fish, the unique sea pineapple, etc. Also, don't miss out on the top deck of the market where it is an observation deck. You see can see the sea port where fisherman's boats are locked and the pretty views of the open sea, right in front of the market. This place is worth a visit!

There is a food court in the basement of a building in Jagalchi Market, which is popular among tourists! It seems that many shops have closed down since COVID-19, and only about 3 or 4 shops are open now. I found a shop that seems to be a gathering place for the ajossi who work in the market! There are almost no tourists. The shop next door seems to be known by Japanese people. As soon as I sat down, the side dishes were brought out. I only asked for a set meal, but the main dish on the menu? So many banchans came that I thought they had served all the menu options lol The taste was just what Koreans would like! A nostalgic home-cooked taste. The fish is delicious as expected! There are not many spicy side dishes, so it's reassuring! They have jjigae, light soup, and even nurungji lol I had a second helping of rice while talking with the ajossi next to me and finished it all 🤤 #Sakura2024 #KoreaTrip #KoreanGourmet #KoreanFood #KoreaInformation #KoreaSoloTrip #KoreaGirlsTrip #BusanTrip #BusanInformation #BusanGourmet #BusanGirlsTrip #BusanSoloTrip #BusanSightseeing #BusanSoloEating #BusanSoloTrip #BusanSoloTrip #NampoDongGourmet #NampoGourmet #GukjeMarket #BupyeongKkangtongMarket #JagalchiGourmet #JagalchiMarket #Yeongdo Store name: 포항식당 (Pohang Restaurant) Address: 92, Nampo-dong 5-ga, Jung-gu, Busan Metropolitan City There are two entrances!

I stayed here for one night on a solo trip. I wanted to take the elevator from Nampo Station, but Lotte Department Store wasn't open yet, so there was no elevator available, and I ended up walking quite a distance. It's close from Nampo or Jungang Station when you don't need the elevator, but it's quite inconvenient when you have luggage. Even from Jungang Station, the elevator is far away... It's been recently renovated and is very clean! The water area in the shower room was really clean, with zero water stains! I've never stayed in a hotel like that before, so I was very satisfied with the cleaning!!!!!!!! The sink is a little small, but that's not a problem. There are outlets next to the desk and bed. The water server in the room was very helpful. It had a refrigerator with a freezer and a sink, but there was no microwave in the hotel, so that was a bit disappointing. The room isn't that big, and there's no sofa, just a stool, so it might be a bit difficult if you want to relax for multiple nights. For two people, the floor is filled with suitcases. I think that's enough. The view from the room and the rooftop are nice and lift your spirits. I was a little surprised that there were no regular tissues in the room. In Korea, we use toilet paper, but it's normal for hotels to have it in the room... I told the front desk and they brought me some toilet paper... I thought I didn't need it because there was extra in the bathroom...but I took it anyway. Also, you can't set the air conditioning from the room. There is a switch on the wall, but it doesn't turn on. According to the front desk, it turns off automatically when it reaches the set temperature. It was cold in the morning that day, so I asked the front desk staff to turn it on for me. There is someone who speaks Japanese, but when they're not there it's hell... The front desk's service itself isn't bad! If you're alone and want to get by cheaply and just want to sleep, I think it's okay! #Accommodation report #Korea trip #Korean gourmet #Korean food #Korea information #Korea solo trip #Korea girls trip #Busan trip #Busan information #Busan gourmet #Busan girls trip #Busan solo trip #Busan sightseeing #Busan solo meal #Busan solo trip #Busan solo trip #Seomyeon gourmet #Seomyeon #Nampo-dong gourmet #Nampo gourmet #Kuwakwang Market #Bupyeong Kwangtong Market #Jagalchi Market

#KoreaTrip ~ Hong Kong Travel~ I really wanted to eat seafood in Busan, so I ate at Jagalchi Market just before the time to go home. 🐟What I ordered... Sashimi bibimbap (15,000w) I was running around not knowing how to eat it, but the waiter poured vinegar gochujang on it and mixed it up for me. There was plenty of sashimi and vegetables, and the flying fish roe was crunchy and delicious. The sashimi didn't have a strong smell either! In addition to bibimbap, we also got chijimi, kimchi, bibimbap noodles, and porridge (abalone?) for a good price. Everyone else was eating crab, but it was OK for one person! -------------------------- Public Market Busan Central, Busan 38th Street, Busan 2 Jagalchi Station Exit 10 9:00-18:00 -------------------------- #Jagalchi Market #Korea #Busan #Busan Gourmet #Korea Trip #Korean Gourmet #busan #Busan Trip #Korea Solo Trip #Korea Travel Diary #Korea Information #Korea Girls Trip ##Korea Travel Information #Bibimbap

A market that's fun just to look at! There are lots of big fish! Then, we went market hopping to Gukje Market! Everything is sold here, from clothes to food!
