Busan City will hold the ‘Seafood Win-Win Discount Direct Marketplace’ at the City Hall Green Square from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on the 27th and 28th.

This event was organized to promote seafood consumption, which has been shrinking ahead of the discharge of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and to promote Busan’s excellent seafood.

Various programs such as ▲seafood direct marketplace ▲seafood tasting event ▲seafood safety promotion ▲side events will be held on the day.

▲At the seafood direct marketplace, Busan’s excellent seafood such as mackerel, Spanish mackerel, conger eel, anglerfish, seaweed, kelp, laver, and squid will be sold at a 10-20% discount compared to market prices.

More than 20 companies involved in seafood production, processing, and distribution in Busan are expected to participate.

Also, citizens visiting the marketplace will be provided with discount coupons that allow a 2,000 KRW discount on purchases over 10,000 KRW, enabling them to buy seafood at even lower prices.

▲The seafood tasting event will be held at 4 p.m. on the 27th at the outdoor stage in Green Square, where the first 200 people can taste safe and fresh Busan seafood for free.

Administrative Vice Mayor Ahn Byung-yoon and heads of marine-related institutions based in Busan will also attend to personally taste Busan seafood and support the promotion of seafood consumption.

▲To promote seafood safety, a Busan seafood safety campaign will be conducted simultaneously with slogans such as ‘Clean Our Sea, Safe Our Seafood’ and ‘Thorough Inspection, Tight Surveillance’.

Mayor Park Hyung-joon said, “I hope this seafood win-win discount direct marketplace will provide citizens with a great opportunity to purchase high-quality seafood at reasonable prices and also greatly help the seafood industry, which is struggling due to sluggish seafood consumption ahead of the discharge of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan.”

To promote the consumption of Busan seafood, the city also held a ‘Seafood Special Exhibition’ and a ‘Seafood Sashimi Tasting Event’ linked to the ‘2023 Busan Food Film Festa’ in June, introducing and selling safe ‘Busan seafood’ to citizens.
