Do you know ‘eomuk’?

‘eomuk’ is called ‘fish cake’ in English. 

 

However, It is a little awkward to call ‘eomuk’ ‘Fish cake’.

That’s because it is not a cake made of fish!!!

 

‘eomuk’ is a food that made by the combination of fish paste.

It contains fish with salt, sugar, water, flour, egg and so on.

 

So ‘eo’ of ‘eomuk’ means ‘fish’ and ‘muk’ means ‘paste’
