Sagak-eomuk is a Korean processed seafood product made by finely grinding white fish flesh, mixing it with wheat flour and other ingredients, shaping it into a flat square sheet, and then frying or steaming it. The texture is springy and chewy, with a mild, clean umami flavour from the fish. It is conceptually similar to European fish cakes or surimi products, but Korean eomuk tends to have a distinctly chewier texture and a more pronounced flavour. In Korea, it is a staple street food (pojangmacha) — served on skewers in hot broth or used in stir-fried dishes.
