Jagalchi Fish Market
Korea's largest seafood market.
Why go
Jagalchi is Korea's largest seafood market — pick your catch downstairs and have it prepared upstairs.
It's a lively, authentic slice of Busan's port life.
Rebuilt after the Korean War by the women vendors known as 'Jagalchi ajumma', the market grew into Korea's largest seafood hub and holds a big festival each October. The modern glass building on the waterfront has a rooftop terrace over the harbour.
