In Korea's seafood market, there are many seafood that are difficult to find in foreign countries. As a foreigner visiting Korea for the first time, it may not be easy to decide which seafood to enjoy and how to enjoy it. And it may not be easy to know how to enjoy various types of seafood.
Especially in winter, we use oysters, a special delicacy of winter, to prepare and serve foods that can only be enjoyed in winter, such as seasoned oysters and oyster pancakes.
Through my tour, I will provide services so that you can enjoy various types of Korean seafood under more reasonable conditions. We will also provide you with various information necessary for your trip to Busan.

5.00Suyang was an incredible guide and chef. He told us all we wanted to know about the fish market, provided all the food and drinks and made us feel right at home. The menu was deliciously prepared fusion fish and shrimp dishes and Korean snacks and appetizers. We also got to try some Korean drinks. He was always friendly, patient and understanding, since we had an infant with us. We asked for recommendations and he provided us with plenty, even sending us all the map locations and checking whether a particular restaurant would be open the following day by calling. It was a wodnerful experience and we would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you, again, Suyang! Next time we'll definitely book your cooking class!
Great food!

5.00We were hosted by Suyang Chang and enjoyed an interesting tour of Korean seafood market followed by a seafood feast cooked by Suyang. Seafood market is huge with a stunning view of harbour on the top. Seafood dinner is delicious with a wide selection of sea urchin, sashimi, crab, scallop, shrimp, fish. The most delectable seafood I had in Korea. Highly recommended and an opulent orchestration of gastronomic success!

4.00My husband and I found this to be a really unique way to experience enjoying the local seafood. Our guide was chatty and showed us around the market, giving interesting facts. The food was very tasty! I would recommend showing up hungry as we started eating from about 5 pm and continued for 3 hours.
Excellent tour and delicious, multi-course meal!

5.00Such an excellent experience! The Busan fish market is huge and fascinating, and Suyang made it so accessible. Suyan’s English is impeccable, and he provided so much helpful information, answered all of my many questions, and afterwards made a 5+ course dinner—from scratch! Everything was delicious, and I was thrilled to learn from Suyang. I’d highly recommend this to anyone touring Busan.
