부산의 대표적인 수산시장 회센터도있어서 뢰가먹고싶을때 자주갑니다 바가지요금도있지만 야러곳을 가면서 가격흥정하는재미도있고 특히 회를 골라서계산하고 2층가서 1사람당 4천원만주면 회를 손질해서 가져다줍니다. 그리고 2층은 건어물상가라 각정 말린생선들을 구입할수가있습니다. more »

The typical fish market in Busan as saying: If you often eat sashimi Center goes off where the gourd's but even though their bargaining as fun and take calculated and, especially, the second floor if 1 per 4000 circle grooming session. And the second floor is dried fish Chop Shop to buy them each a la Jung-dried fish.

South Korea's second largest dish market. Definitely a must visit site for many reasons. It is very impressive, you can buy high quality seafood, and you can also eat at one of the many seafood restaurants there. Just be careful what you are ordering because the restaurateurs have a tendency to bring you more than you ask.

Super interesting to walk through this fish market. Lots of restaurants and shops to buy fresh or dried fish from. Be prepared for the smell and some gross sites.

I had never seen a fish market with sea water constantly running through the tanks and back to the ocean. I guess it can't be fresher than that! The building has a rooftop terrace with great views of the sea and the city. Definitely worth it.

For seafood lovers a must go place. You may buy the fish, crab or shells on ground floor fresh from the tank and get them prepared one floor higher for 5000 KRW.
