The 21st Annual Jagalchi Fish Festival

      Over this past weekend I was fortunate enough to attend the 21st annual Jagalchi Fish Festival.  As you'll see, it's clearly something that's uniquely Korean.  If your passion is food, especially the peculiar type, then Jagalchi and Nampo are the places for you.  There's quite the storied past - fishermen have made a living here by selling their daily catches to eagerly awaiting crowds since the 1910's.

This area of Busan is renowned for its flounder sashimi.

A school of delicious mullet just like back home.

Gizzard shad, which also have a festival devoted specifically to them.

Sea Worms and...

...a guy far too excited to play with them before they are cooked and served.

A juvenile Leopard Shark attempting to escape the inevitable dinner plate of a hungry Korean.

Cochon de Lait.

Bar-be-que whole baby chickens.

And what festival would be complete without live music on the streets?
