Busan's Jalgalchi Fish Market



The Jalgalchi fish market in Busan is filled with a lot of tough customers. The place is dominated by ajumas (married women) with an iron fist. These aren't the sort of ladies that you want to mess with, and they didn't seem particularly pleased to have my big white face browsing their squirming wares. But despite the two inches of fish water I had on the hems of my pants by the end of the day, it was well worth a visit.


Check out this octopus!




She was actually wrestling with this octopus. It was like a horror movie.


Tons of stuff were live and squirming, including the eels that had already been skinned.

  1. "These aren't the sort of ladies that you want to mess with." Scary; considering the source, that is a formidable measure of respect.

  2. Next time, when someone in a fish market is wrestling with an octopus, take a video!
