Largest Seafood Market in Korea - Jagalchi Fish Market Jung-gu Busan - 2024

Jagalchi market

The Jagalchi Market is a popular market located in Busan, South Korea. It is known for its fresh seafood and lively atmosphere. The market is situated at the sea, which ensures that the fish and seafood sold there are always fresh. You can find a variety of seafood, including live, dead, frozen, fresh, live, and dried fish of all kinds and sizes, prepared in many different ways.

The market is also famous for its female vendors, known as “Jagalchi Ajumma,” who have been selling goods on the street in this area since the post-Korean War era. The market hosts the Busan Jagalchi Festival in autumn, with the slogan “Oiso!” which means “Come!”

To get to the market, you can take Nampo-dong Station exit 7 and walk straight, passing the 1st street and turning left onto the 2nd street (Jagakchi-ro 60beon-gil) and walk straight for 50m. The market is also easily accessible from Lotte Department Store (Gwangbok Branch) or exit 2 of Jagalchi Market.

The name “Jagalchi” originates from the physical form of the area, which has many big pebbles (jagal) on the seashore. The market has a rich history, dating back to the Japanese occupation, when several fish street stalls were created in this area. After the Korean War, many refugees came to Busan, and shanty houses were built around the area, leading to the formation of a large fish market, which is now the Jagalchi Market.

It’s a great market to visit to buy some fresh seafood or just to come and see the many different varieties for sale. It’s a working fish market so fish you really get an authentic experience at this market.
