Square fish cake (Eomuk) is a traditional Korean processed seafood product made by finely grinding white fish and mixing it with starch and other ingredients, then shaping and cooking it. The texture is similar to Japanese kamaboko or European surimi (crab sticks), but Korean Eomuk is known for its distinctively springy yet tender bite. Formed into a flat square shape, it is easy to thread onto skewers or add to broth-based dishes. In Korea, it is an iconic item at pojangmacha (street food stalls) and a widely used ingredient in everyday home cooking.
