South Korea
Busan
Seafood markets that never stop moving.
A note from the editor
Busan is the perfect easy seaside getaway, two hours by high-speed train from Seoul. If pressed for time, consider a day trip for a laid-back side of South Korea and some of its best seafood. Sitting at the peninsula’s southeastern tip, Busan means the freshest seafood, prepared many ways. This guide navigates regional restaurants and hole-in-the-wall spots.
