Jagalchi Market​
Picture
Jagalchi Market, Korea's largest fish market, includes the Dried Fisheries Market next to Yeong-do Bridge and Chungmu-dong Cooperative Fisheries Market. The market is always lively with merchants, street vendors and their customers, between clusters of small shops and stands within the market. During the Korean War, the first merchants were able to etch out a subsistence living through the first food stalls formed around the market.

The scenes created around these stalls and the rough accents of the Jagalchi ajummas (middle-aged women) have now become symbolic of the market. The market opens early each morning, full of vitality, with freshly-caught fish, abalone, octopus and sea squirt ready to be prepared on the spot.

- How to get there: Get off at Jagalchi Station (Metro line 1). It takes about 5 minutes from exit 10 of the subway station.
