Food culture

Busan's food identity runs through its harbor: at Jagalchi Market you pick live seafood on the ground floor and carry it upstairs to have it sliced as hoe (raw fish) or cooked to order, a pick-your-catch model that Seoul doesn't really have. Because that seafood is priced by the day's catch and season rather than a fixed menu, the gap between a market stall and a proper hoe restaurant swings more with what came off the boat that morning than with any fixed markup. Many of the city's signature comfort dishes trace back to the refugee camps that packed the port during the Korean War, which still shows up in the no-frills, eat-fast counter style found around BIFF Square and the older markets rather than in polished dining rooms.
