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.

We did the market tour and meal serving afterwards. Suyang is very knowledgeable about Busan markets and Korean seafood in general and gave us loads of tips on good places to eat in the city. The meal which he cooked for us was absolutely delicious, especially the fresh scallops. He was excellent company as well. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is in Busan and wants to learn more about Korean seafood from an expert!

Suyang 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!

We 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!

Loved the information we got about the Jagalchi market. The market itself was vibrant and full of every kind of fish you could think of. Suyang chef skills shined as we got to try shrimp, crab, scallops, sea clams and the kind lady from the market threw in a sea urchin as well. We left with our tummies full and spirits high, definitely recommend getting this tour.
Amazing seafood tour in Busan!

We had a great afternoon and evening with Mister Chang! We did the food market tour together with another couple. We gained a lot of background history and nice tips on how to go through the market. We went up some buildings for some nice views and walked around at a nice pace for about 1.5/2 hours. We also booked the dinner part, so we went to Mr. Chang's kitchen studio by bus. We bought some drinks at the market and had nice chats while Mr. Chang cooked several dishes with fresh seafood and nice condiments! After dinner we discussed more amazing things about Busan and he gave us a lot of tips for hikes and restaurants that we followed up. Mr. Chang is very approachable and speaks proper English. You can reach out to him through whatsapp and he responds really quick. So definitely book a tour with him when you are in Busan!! You'll have a great time and a really good connection whenever you are in Busan.
Delicious Meal with Suyang

Our guide, Suyang, delivered an incredible experience. Our tour and dinner were personalized to our food preferences. We learned a lot and ate well. Suyang was knowledgeable and friendly. The man can cook! Some of the best food we ate on our trip we bought at the market. In particular, we loved his curry shrimp. There was a longer transport from the market to the kitchen than expected, but Suyang bought us all the beer and soju we wanted in the end:) We would book this tour again!
