Jagalchi market and seafood lunch in Busan

The jagalchi fish market is a signature attraction of Busan 

and also the largest seafood market in Korea. 

Lucky for us it's just minutes walk away from our hostel - Apple guesthouse.

Jagalchi market is a huge building easily spotted from afar

A bustling Jagalchi market

Plenty of shops selling seafood along the street outside Jagalchi market

It's HUGE inside the market with rows of live seafood and "ajuma" promoting their seafood

Inside it's like a aquarium with live sea creatures

Octopus and abalones

There's more variety of sea creatures here than the aquarium I've visited before

There's several floors in jagalchi market. 

The specialty here is to buy the seafood from the ground floor and bring them up to the restaurants  upstairs to be cook, so the seafood is extremely fresh. 

We didn't know how to choose seafood nor bargain in Korean so we just ordered them from the restaurants upstairs.

Love this pancake side dish!!
It was half way gone before our main dish got served. haha

Boiling seafood pot and lots of side dishes as usual.

The seafood pot was full of crab, mussels, prawns, octopus. Pure flavor and freshness!!

The first floor was full of restaurants and we had no idea which to choose.After walking aimlessly around for awhile, we settled at one of the restaurants by the window facing the sea.

Since we wanted to try everything we ordered the seafood pot which turn out to be a good choice~

The meal costs us KRW 30,000 (aprox. RM100) for 2.
