A visit to Jalgachi Market (자갈치시장)

The Jagalchi Market (자갈치시장) is Korea’s largest seafood market, where you can see the lifestyle of the indigenous Busan natives.
The market is situated on the edge of Nampo Port (남포항), Busan. The name is said to have originated from jagal (자갈 gravel in Korean) because the market used to be surrounded by many gravels. It’s really an eye opening experience and the Jalgachi market is definitely worth a visit. The market is open from 05:00 – 22:00 everyday. Some shop hours may vary. The market is closed on the last Tuesday of every month. It is easy to get to Jalgachi Market : Via Subway Line 1 to Jagalchi station and leave exit 10.

There are a few different sections of the Jagalchi market. We started in the outdoor zone.

The market is very vibrant and colourful . I am so amazed at all the different kinds of fish available in the market.

All of the workers there were friendly and they didn’t mind us browsing and taking pictures.

I am holding a live octopus~

The man recommend me to try “sannakji” — a dish of live octopus, is one of Korea’s most talked about dishes that served with its arms that still squirming, sucking, grasping. DARE 2 TRY????

I think better try cooked octopus with delicious chili paste!

The second floor of this market specializes in sashimi where visitors can purchase live fish in the first floor and get it sashimied. We had a wonderful time in Jagalchi Fish Market — it’s one of the absolute highlights of Busan.

South Korea : Jeju

Jeju Island (제주도,濟州島) , formerly Cheju Island , is an island off the southern coast of South Korea , in the Korea Strait, southwest of Jeollanam-do Province, of which it was a part before it became a separate province in 1946, and more recently Korea's first and only Special Autonomous Province. Its capital is Jeju City . Understand Jeju Island, also known as the "Island of the Gods," is a popular vacation spot for Koreans and foreigners. It remains the top honeymoon destination for Korean newlyweds. Despite attempts to market the island as "the Hawaii of Korea," climatologically and geographically it bears little in similarity to the Hawaiian Islands in the U.S. The island offers visitors a wide range of activities: hiking on Halla-san (South Korea's highest peak) or Olle-gil(routes), catching sunrises and sunsets over the ocean, riding horses, touring all the locales from a favorite television K-drama, or just lying around on the sandy beaches. ...

Korean Food Guide: 44 Things to Eat in Seoul, South Korea and Where to Try Them

Before our trips to Korea, my knowledge of Korean food was pretty much limited to kimchi , bulgogi , and japchae . My exposure to the cuisine never really went beyond that in spite of having several Korean friends, including a Korean roommate for a couple of years. I think part of it is due to how damn good Korean barbecue is. It’s so delicious that it was pretty much all I ever looked for when eating at Korean restaurants. Bulgogi for my main course, and a plate of japchae on the side. That was it. But thanks to our two trips to Seoul, in 2015 and 2017, my Korean food vocabulary has expanded to over 40 dishes. As delicious and universally appealing as Korean barbecue is, I’ve learned that there’s so much more to the cuisine than just bulgogi and galbi . Things like ganjang gejang , jokbal , and naengmyeon aren’t as well known outside of Korea but they are dishes well worth flying for. Ganjang gejang was particularly memorable. After waiting...
