[Busan] Jagalchi Market (부산 자갈치시장)

Hello! Here is the detailed information for ‘Jagalchi Market (부산 자갈치시장)’.

💡 Overview

Jagalchi Market, located on the seaside road in Busan’s Jung-gu, is one of the largest seafood markets in Korea, selling both live and dried fish. After the Korean War, the market solidified itself as a fish market. Most of the people who sell fish are women, so the vendors here are called Jagalchi Ajumeoni, “ajumeoni” meaning middle-aged or married woman in Korean.

This market represents Busan and is famous throughout the country. Visitors can eat fresh raw fish right at the market. Even nowadays visitors can see women selling mackerel, sea squirts (ascidians) and other seafood on wooden boxes along the road outside of the market and along the shore.
