굴비구이Gulbi-gui
Salted, dried yellow croaker, grilled; Yeonggwang's gulbi was once a royal gift.
What it is
Croaker is salted and dried in the sea wind, which concentrates its flavour. It is a luxury holiday gift in Korea and best with plain rice.
How to eat it
Eat it with green tea over rice, the old way to tame the salt.
