‘선창’ is not listed in English on Google Maps, so it’s best to search for ‘선창횟집’ directly. Do check if the English address is accurate.
It takes about 26 minutes on foot from Haeundae Station to ‘선창’. While this might seem a bit far, I recommend walking since it only saves about 4 minutes by public transport. The walk along the beautiful Haeundae waterfront is one of Busan’s most scenic routes, making it a perfect opportunity to enjoy the views before dining.
Choosing Your Sashimi Course at ‘선창’
My frequent visits to ‘선창’ are due to its exceptional value for money compared to other fish restaurants. ‘선창’ offers three main sashimi courses, each more abundant and higher in fish quality than what you’d typically find for 150,000 KRW per person elsewhere.
- 50,000 KRW Course: A mix of wild-caught and farmed fish
- 70,000 KRW Course: Exclusively wild-caught fish
- 100,000 KRW Course: Premium selection, including top-grade live fish (like sweetlips)
Unlike some restaurants that may vary prices, especially for foreigners, ‘선창’ maintains fixed prices, ensuring fairness. I recommend this clean and reputable restaurant over more rundown options by the seaside.
I always go for the 100,000 KRW course. The quality of the premium live fish served in this course is truly exceptional and not something I’d want to miss on my visits to Busan.
Introducing the 100,000 KRW Course at ‘선창’
- The course starts with an array of shellfish sashimi, including clams, octopus, and conch, served with three different dipping sauces – each enhancing the flavors beautifully.
- The main course features natural live sashimi. The centerpiece is sweetlips, flanked by yellowtail and flatfish on either side. The texture and freshness of these wild-caught fishes are incomparable.
After enjoying the delicious sashimi, don’t forget to take photos of the stunning Haeundae Beach visible from the restaurant. If you’re lucky, you might get a window seat, where you can enjoy a drink and your meal with a breathtaking view of the sea.
