Seafood
Busan is Korea's
seafood capital
A port city wrapped by three seas, with the country's biggest fish market at its heart. Below, 47 raw-fish, mulhoe, grilled-eel and pufferfish houses along the southeast coast, all Korea Post picks.
What to order
- Hoe 회 Korean raw fish, sliced thick and springy rather than sashimi-thin, dipped in chojang or wrapped with ssamjang and garlic.
- Mulhoe 물회 Raw fish in an icy, tangy chilled broth. A southeast-coast fisherman’s dish and a Busan summer staple.
- Grilled eel 장어 Sea eel and conger grilled over charcoal, long eaten here as a stamina food, often at spots right by the water.
- Pufferfish 복 Served as bok-guk, a clear peppery soup that locals reach for to clear the head after a night out.
