About

It is a symbol representing Busan and the largest seafood market in the Republic of Korea. It took on its current appearance after the Korean War when women gathered to make a living by opening street stalls. Filled with freshly caught seafood, this place rings with the friendly Busan dialect saying, 'Oiso, boiso, saiso (Come, look, buy)'.

A special experience unique to Jagalchi Market is that you can personally choose seafood on the 1st floor and taste it right away at a restaurant on the 2nd floor. Discover the true charm of Busan while feeling the scent of the sea and the energy of lively people.
