Gijang Crab Market (기장 대게시장) – (How to go, what to expect, and what we ordered)

Posted on April 17, 2019March 26, 2020 by Regine

We spent my mom’s birthday during our trip to Busan and knowing that she loves crab, I tried to do my research about where you can eat crab in Busan.

Tha’s how I ended up with Gijang Crab Market (기장 대게시장).

How to go to Gijang Crab Market from Canvas Hostel:

Take bus 1003 (bus stop from Canvas Hostel for bus 1003 can be found here)

get down at Gijang Market

as soon as you get down the station face right and walk straight

turn left on the first corner

and YOU ARE ALREADY AT GIJANG CRAB MARKET!

There are a lot of places

that offers

seafood

but after walking, we decided to have lunch here

this is their sign and their store name is 청해왕대게

outside the place, they can only sell male crabs and cannot sell female crabs BUT WE WERE SURPRISED THAT THEY TASTED SO GOOD

the restaurant is beside a stall that sells FRESH ABALONE (roughly 3,000 won/each)

we chose a crab and chose some abalone and the staff steamed them for us (there is a cooking charge of 4,000 won/person and you can ask them to steam the abalone that you will buy from the store beside them)

we went up the second floor

which is actually a place where you can eat what you ordered!

they’ll give this to you after you order. you’ll show this to the person that will greet you at the 2nd floor

and they will set up the table for you

YUM!! My mom loved the crab (we got a Snow Crab). They also gave us free clams!

FRESH ABALONE

FOR ROUGHLY $3 EACH

BUT THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE DISHES! We also ordered Crab Roe Fried Rice

and it WAS THE BOMB

LIKE I WILL DEF COME BACK FOR THIS

ADDED FISH ROE SO THAT IT WOULD BE MORE DELICIOUS

I will definitely come back to this place when I’ll have a trip to Busan again!!
