Thirty to fifty percent of all seafood in Korea moves through Busan’s dockside Jalgalchi fish market, the largest in Korea. Commercial transactions happen during the wee hours before dawn, but visitors can walk through, select the critter(s) that look delicious, and have them prepared on the second floor. It doesn’t get anymore fresher since much of the day’s catch is still squirmingly alive. All of this mirrors Seoul’s Noryangjin fish market, which we visited on our first trip to Korea, and probably fish markets throughout Asia.
For once we weren’t hungry (it’s rare, but it happens), but I’m a sucker for the sights of a good fish market, and there’s likely non better in the world.
