    4. Traveler tips

    • Choose a live seafood item and ask for the complete upstairs preparation price before committing; display prices and cooking charges may be separate.
    • Treat BIFF Square food stalls as independent businesses rather than an extension of the managed market-building timetable.
    • Keep the Korean building name and street destination visible because Jagalchi refers to a wider waterfront district, not one entrance.
    • Search “BIFF광장 자갈치시장” in Naver Map or Kakao Map and confirm the entrance before leaving.
    • Opening hours, prices and payment methods vary by vendor; confirm before ordering.
    • The catalogue pin is approximate. Use the linked Korean map search for the final walking route.
