Jagalchi market in Busan with my sister - what we ate

Went to Busan last weekend with my sister and we spent one morning walking around Jagalchi market. We don't eat much meat when we travel so we stuck to grilled fish and some fishcake from the street side, and honestly it was one of the best meals of the whole trip. The ajummas were very patient with us even though our Korean is basically zero, pointing works fine. One thing I didn't expect is how wet and slippery the floor gets inside the market, so please don't wear nice shoes like I did. If you go early it's much less crowded and easier to actually see what you're buying.
