A fun experience
The market is a very interesting local experience. Live fresh fish in all the stalls, this is a traditional market that is in all Asian towns. Blocks and blocks of aisles if vendors and fish. Inside the building must vendors will cook fresh seafood for you. We chose fresh scallops from The vendor Lucky. He and his mother in law run there little market. We had 8 scallops bbq for 30,000 won plus a beer and a coke. It was wonderful best scallops I’ve ever had

Huge fresh seafood...must try experience, unless one don't like seafood
Always come here for the great seafood when in Busan. Came for 2 consecutive days for Alaskan King Crabs, scallops, fish, etc. Fresh,huge sizes & wide varieties of live seafood here . Such seafood are never cheap anywhere but may also not be available everywhere & cost more elsewhere. A must try is Baby live Octopus- cut into small pieces, eaten raw. The cut parts are still alive & wriggling on the plate. Dip in sauce & eat. Don't worry about stories of people choking to death eating this. Just eat only 1 piece at a time, we do that & still here after 5 previous visits. Noryangjin market in Seoul is bigger & sell similar stuff but prices are higher. You don't need to speak Korean to get a good deal. Check out 2-3 stalls that has what you like, ask for prices ( they do understand this & will show you a price list, with a calculator). Once you decided, they will usually throw in small items free.

Friendly people.
This is absolutely I must do, go check this out you won't believe your eyes they've got everything. The fish is a little pricey But in all a very nice place to visit you're going to need a lot of time to check it all out it's very big. And don't forget to try some fish cakes one of a kind.
