About a 50-minute drive northeast from Busan city center comes to Gijang County, famous for its anchovies, hairtail, and wakame seaweed, and Gijang Market, a traditional market that brings together fresh seafood and mountain produce caught in the waters off Gijang County.
Gijang Market started as the Gijang Five-Day Market (a traditional market held every five days) in 1944, but as Gijang-gun was incorporated into Busan in 5, urbanization progressed and the Gijang Five-Day Market became a permanent market.
Gijang Market used to be a seafood market where fresh seafood is lined up, and now the market is filled with the famous Gijang wakame seaweed, Daebyeon anchovies, hairtails, cuttlefish, squid, and other seafood caught in the clean, clear waters near the market, all sold at reasonable prices, along with the lively sounds of Korean horse mackerel. In winter, crab specialty shops are the most popular at Gijang Market.
If you walk a little further down the alleys of Gijang Market covered with tents, you will come across Crab Street. Next to a large aquarium filled with crabs, there is an aluminum steamer that is steaming crabs that are still moving, and the smell of crab and steaming steam from the steam creates an atmosphere that overwhelms Gijang Market.
The price of crab is 1 to 35,000 won per kilogram, which is cheaper than in Japan. By directly purchasing crab from Russia and North Korea in large quantities without going through intermediate wholesalers, they are able to provide delicious crab to consumers at a low price.
The best time to eat crabs is during the cold winter, when the wind is howling. The crab meat is thick and chewy, and the generous servings are soft, rich, and sweet. This is also the time to enjoy the bittersweet, rich, and aromatic crab paste.
Everyone! When you come to Busan, Korea, you can enjoy yakiniku, sashimi, and hot stone bibibbab, but why not extend your trip from Busan to Gijang, located northeast, and try the delicious crabs at Gijang Market?
