Busan fish markets and seaside village mornings
Local tour guide in Busan, South Korea.
I am a Busan native whose family has bought fish at Jagalchi Market for three generations, and I still do the shopping for my mother every Saturday. My tours smell of the sea in the best way: haggling ajummas, tanks of squirming octopus, grilled mackerel eaten metres from the boats that landed it. We finish in Gamcheon's painted hillside lanes. Busan is loud, salty, and warm-hearted, exactly like its markets.
Plunge into Korea's greatest fish market with a local who shops it weekly. We tour Jagalchi's tanks and auction floors, eat the freshest seafood breakfast of your life, graze street snacks through Gukje Market's alleys, then climb into Gamcheon Culture Village's rainbow lanes for sea views and murals. Busan, full volume.
