good afternoon good afternoon guys I'm Busan South Korea the winds are howling
and it's like raining horizontally outside so I'm so happy to be in Jagalchi Fish Market (부산 자갈치시장)
at the moment this is the Jagalchi Fish Market (부산 자갈치시장) the biggest fish
market and most famous attraction really in Busan if you come to Busan
you absolutely have to come to this market it's just a feast for the eyes
you see all kinds of exotic sea creatures you see fish you have the
opportunity to purchase either fish or seafood have it prepared for you go to
the second level of the market and have a delicious lunch and so that's exactly
what we're gonna do while we're at this market we're gonna take a look around
show you what it's like basically a tour of the market then we're gonna go
upstairs and have a delicious Korean kind of sushi like Chobap way experience
can't wait to do it let's go check it out so what happened is we made a mad
dash from the one building for the others it's still part of the same
market and this part this area is a little different this isn't where you
have the restaurant this is where you have more of the fish and the seafood
I mean it's easily a few hundred vendors here yeah as you walk through you got to
be careful it's a little slippery because it is like water pouring
everywhere it's like it's like literally like a water fountain oh yeah every
single stall yeah and yeah I mean in terms of seafood and fish you have the
biggest variety overs in my life you know this huge flounder yeah you have
eel you have I think this grouper you have
like the squid some Korean squid let's little different then you have never any
Lobster over here while a lobster looks nice huge fish to like these minutes
this right here let's look down here the other down here Wow how big is that
and then after that you got king crabs stone crab more lobster more clams right
do we have all the clams Wow holy smokes an interesting thing too is that every
stall is numbered there's a number and there's a person's name reigning Korean
you also have their telephone number and their mobile number so if you have a
good experience at one of these stalls just come back you can order some sushi
by the phone easy yeah it's pretty cool so there's
just flounder she's II really like sashimi flounder yeah
with some rice we already found a guy in the other building who's super
friendly guy speaks English giving us a great deal and once we're good back
there we're gonna go upstairs and get the amazing yoga I mean you can see this
is how it is here you see them you know cutting the fish preparing it for
everybody here you can actually buy it like this just take it home they're so
delicious man I really want to try the eel though that he looks amazing right
there this just options galore here it's never-ending man this is this is like if
you like seafood you'll die here
we've been kind of lingering in the market for a while some stalls that are
a bit inactive as others where people are preparing fish preparing seafood we
saw customers come in and order things right on the spot what was it what did
we see it was like a squid or octopus it was a big octopus you pulled that out
pops the hole in it popped it and put in the bag it was using its suction cups
basically to hold on for dear life yes exactly it's is the biggest fish market
in the country the one in Seoul is smaller obviously because we're on the
water yeah and this like this floor is made of three long rows each one has
over 300 vendors it's crazy man it's crazy oh my gosh it's fascinating
because you have people coming here to eat obviously at the restaurant but you
also have people coming here just to purchase their their seafood and fish
for a family consumption and yeah it's just bagged right up here yeah and then
they bring it home and a Sanae ting and I'm sure restaurants in the area by the
fishing here as well oh for sure I mean absolutely what else would you buy it
yeah exactly what a fascinating experience I'm
working up an appetite are you ready to eat I'm ready to eat let's go let's do
it
I'm the guy gamsahamnida you get it all
okay guys so we crossed buildings back to the first one crazy winds outside
this area now that I've seen both buildings thoroughly this area where
we're heading now is more of the restaurant zone the other place is more
of like a wholesale area I'm here with my friend hyung joong we walked into the
market and he's a very friendly nice guy and so we want to have fish with him
here at stall number 7 yes master number 7 number 7 lucky seven lucky number
seven and we're going to be having like a Korean style sushi it's a called chobap
choke ah yes so we've ordered the large size it's a salmon 140 thousand Korean
Won about 35 US dollars at the moment and he's gonna prepare a delicious feast
for us we're gonna go to the third floor and we're gonna eat it in a restaurant
so I'm very excited thank you for doing that for I know thank you
so we have made it to the third level and we're gonna start off with some beer if
you're gonna come through a Korean restaurant and how traditional fish like
this you gotta sit down low to the ground on the table and we've got Hite
extra cold gotta love that something like cold beer cold beer goes too good
with everything so we're gonna pour some of that then make two height one of the
four major brands here in Korea there's also Cass
Caffrey OB I think that's all four of them you some David Korean beers be
great um what else has also arrived we have some of our banchan already looks
like we have corn we have some ginger yeah and edamame would have carrots
these look like jelly special some young sauce like this is looks incredible it's
the soy bean gochujang but this also has looks like some spring onions and sesame
seeds and then of course we have garlic as
well we also have the gochujang the red pepper paste sauce and the Kang Jung the
soy sauce these are gonna be fantastic with the chobap when they arrive you
can alternate between the two different sauces water is also arrived at the
table too we have the two products and subtract we have Korean style chopsticks
metal style chopsticks metal spoon so we are all set only thing left to do is it
gumbai gumbai back hmm and it is ice cold as it says on the
bottle lunch has arrived check out this plate of sushi unbelievable and Korean
they call it Chobap this guy's hooked us up with three different kinds of fish
it's incredible like we saw it being kind of prepared it's basically eight
per fish eight eight eight and something cool that I want to show you guys is
that he puts the wasabi underneath the fish so the only thing left for me to do
is to try eating it so I'm going to try the first set I'm gonna use the the Kong
junk sauce just throw soy sauce and then I'm gonna try a few the other sauces we
have available let's try this to be honest I'm not entirely sure what these
fish are so I'm not gonna pretend it's basically like three three kinds of
white fish let's try this take it for a nice swim here oh yeah
oh so delicious doing just big thick slices of fish juicy fresh tastes so
good with wasabi adeb and the kongtong sauce soy sauce absolutely love it okay
time for round two you know what I'm gonna dip this one in the ssamjang sauce
give that take that for a swim this is like homemade so I'm Jung it's amazing
it has so many extra ingredients sesame let's try that oh it's so nice having
two different sauces to alternate between because it really changes up the
guys for instance this gives it a bit more of a spicy kick and a richness and
I have to say the second fish is even more tender than the first one
moving on to the third and you know what I'm gonna do guys I'm gonna put it like
this and I'm going to take this red sauce I'm gonna put it on top I don't
know if this how you do it locally but and make sure I don't touch it oh look
at that guys spicy red sauce you pick it up into the mouth oh those an even more
spicy food my gosh dude this Chobap this Korean sushi is unreal unreal just so so
delicious you know what we only have 12 pieces each I feel like I could double
that or triple that that's how good it is I get walk out of here eating 20 or 30
pieces I mean I probably need a siesta after but it'd be worth it
are you doing that chobap David yeah I have to say it's probably one of my best
sushi meals ever Chobap meals joke yeah and something that we've both been
discussing is that how thick these pieces are we're not used to it it's a
little different because of the type of fish right you know usually you go into
a you know a sushi restaurant Japanese restaurant and they'll give you like you
know tuna salmon and a whitefish those are the three always yeah here there's
like 50 different fish so they give you different fish that you've never heard
of you know and I'm gonna just show you a little bit of how I'm gonna do this I
grab this one and I'm actually gonna go oh it's like sticky like super sticky
right this into the caviar Wow I just let it like I've absorbed the caviar
yeah yeah and then while I'm there I was gonna put some of the super spice that
sauce is amazing dude this is like the most unique thing I've ever done in
terms of sushi like pudding sauce is different sauces not just like wasabi
and soy sauce yeah the best part is that it's hot yeah
it's nice and fresh then it's hot again with the wasabi then
it's sticky and then with the caviar
I was like a bite for the ages hmm way more filling this sushi than any other
sushi have had you gotta say like when you come to Busan this is the number one
thing you have to do come here explore the market get some
fish choose it go upstairs eat it yeah repeat do Gombe man come hey dude come
pay soju and beer beer beer I was gonna ask you do you have a preference between
beer and soju for fish you know I think like clear alcohol beverages get better
with it yeah but light beer is also good - yeah
today I'm going a little hardcore with the soju this is the fresh ginger ever oh
my gosh haven't tried that one yet it was the best thing for your stomach
it also like you said your palate - you don't have that fishiness in your mouth
after that yeah yeah yeah guys if you thought the meal was over with just the chobap no way so the nicest thing is that the lady who's serving us offered us the
option of a stew and we're like yeah it's only mountain one 10,000 won
so maybe like 850 US dollars for the two of us to have this big stew I entirely
sure the name of it I asked her in Korean what it was and she talked about
the Mori so I mean it has like fish head parts of the fish I believe there may be
some squash or some potato it's obviously got a spicy broth probably go
to Jong it has those long stringy mushrooms and it has also I notice it
has some paw which is the green onion so yeah we're just cooking that and I have
a feeling she's gonna come over and turn it off when it's done we have a couple
bowls each with the meal that's good you don't want it to end so I'm glad that we
have like a round - alright it's time to try that so that out if you've left us
with a ladle go on and try to grab as many ingredients as I passed
we can put it right in there I'm sure I got some of the soup it's so good oh wow
it's not a big bowl so I don't want to put too much more in we can we grab a
bit of fish looks like the kale part I will leave the head for now put that in
not in bad oh there is heads I've seen there's a few heads
I've seen ah that totally makes sense because obviously you can't serve that
part of the fish so why not make it into the soup right it's gonna try the broth
for now oh ha oh nice and spicy man really spicy not as fishy as I thought
it would be mmm subtle taste of the fish I'm gonna try a bit of the veg mmm not
so strong well mushrooms really really good there is some meat around here I'm
just gonna try a little bit of fish cross over the fish oh yeah
that is ridiculously tender I mean it's obviously been cooking them in the
boiling hot pot so a little bit of flesh that meat that you have available with
the fish mmm tasty alright guys we have a lot of bench and sides that we haven't
showed you let's try them all I'm gonna try the
garlic here you sure you want to do that
I'll pass in the garlic you're gonna have the pepper okay oh my god then we
have corn mmm-hmm cool it's still really tasty of course we have carrots that's
nice and fresh the beans let's try the jellies oh that is really
hard to pick up look three whoa what is that
mmm the super slimy in the mouth I love life let's get that to get that taste
out of the mouth the fresh ginger mmm absolutely delicious wash it down with
the bitter beer that is some real potent ginger tea Wow so yeah overall what a
fantastic meal I mean that chobap is next level and just getting the whole
experience being on the moment into the fish market here experience it in the
two different buildings like meet someone as friendly as the guy who we
bought the fish from see the whole process of how customers buy the fish
how locals buy the fish I was prepared put into a plastic bag how they take it
