Usually, when making kimchi, salted shrimp is also added to the seasoning!. lol

It is a side dish of raw animal ingredients marinated in salt and seasoning. Put fish flesh, eggs, intestines, gills, clams, shrimp, beef, pork, and other seafood in a jar, pour in salt until the ingredients are completely covered, and then mix the aged with various seasonings!.

Is Jeotgal a traditional Korean food?

Um... How should I answer? If you go to a traditional market, baekban, jeongsik, or Korean restaurant, you will see a lot of salted seafood, right? Jeotgal is also a very old food in Korea. Looking at the records alone, not only Korea, but also Asian regions such as China, Japan, India, and Thailand, as well as unexpectedly, records appear in Europe. Even ancient Rome enjoyed salted fish called garum.

There are so many kinds of Korean salted fish!

Salted shrimp, salted clams, salted squid, salted octopus, salted anchovies, and salted canary fish are popularly enjoyed, and salted cod roe or abalone are quite expensive. Also, there are salted seafood such as salted yellow stone fish or salted anchovies with flesh, not fish sauce, cut in half and put in whole green pepper. However, nowadays, such salted seafood has become known and quite famous thanks to a certain entertainment program.

salted fish taste

Um... Personally, I'm not good at salted fish. Salted seafood is also made with salt, and there are many salted seafood with soy sauce and seasoning. But the reason why I can't eat salted fish is because of the smell. And salted fish is usually made really salty, so it doesn't go well with me!. Regular pickled fish is delicious with white rice, but it's still too salty for me. Pollack roe was the most delicious thing I've ever eaten!. Lightly grilled cod roe and mix it with avocado sesame oil and white rice, it's really delicious!. You should try it too!

What kind of pickled fish have you tried? How was it? I have some friends who like salted seafood. It is delicious to eat with white rice!.
