Jagalchi Market (부산 자갈치시장)
Jagalchi Market, located on the shoreside road in Busan's Jung-gu, is Korea's largest seafood market, 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 Ajumma, "ajumma" 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.
Every year in October, the Jagalchi Cultural Tourism Festival is held. Jagalchi Market is where you can see the lifestyle of the Busan locals.
