Busan Cooperative Fish Market
The Busan Cooperative Fish Market (BCFM; Korean: 부산공동어시장) is the largest fish market in South Korea. It adjoins the South Harbor in Busan. More than 30% of the country's fish production passes through the market. In recent years, a large percentage of the catch has been made up of yellowtail, due to warming waters in the Sea of Japan. The market occupies an area of 166,420 m, of which about 10% is a refrigerated working area.
The market first opened in 1963 in pier 1 of the Port of Busan. It moved to its present location in January 1973.
