Jagalchi Market
Jagalchi Market is a famous fish market in Busan, sort of like Japan's Tsukiji, if more rough-hewn and seafood-oriented. There are literally hundreds of fishmongers located inside two or three buildings. Interestingly, the seafood prices are standardized across all of them. So, the differentiator would be the types of seafoods they carry and their sales pitch. Some of these stalls have their own restaurants and can cook your purchases right away. The market is very wet, so dress accordingly.
San-nakji (chopped raw octopus)
While you are in the market, you can try san-nakji (chopped raw octopus). It is a Korean delicacy. The octopus tentacles must be chopped into small pieces and you must chew them thoroughly before attempting to swallow. Otherwise, the tentacles may stick to your throat and choke you.
Samsung Building
Right next to the Jagalchi Market is the Samsung Building. You can see a lot of Samsung products on display. Some of them don't make it outside of South Korea for various reasons. So, it's an interesting place to visit if you like technology or is a fan of this iconic Korean brand.
Today was our last day in South Korea. We loved the Korean culture and its cuisine. Tomorrow, we would be flying to Osaka to continue our Asia journey.
