by 어쩌다 요리하는 남자 2023. 10. 5.

Hello?

It's a man who cooks by chance.

 

The ingredient I'm going to introduce today is gizzard shad.

There is a saying that "a daughter-in-law left the house because marriage was so hard, but she couldn't overcome her mother-in-law's smell of gizzard, so it's hard to break up once she fell in love with gizzard. Gizzard shad, which is in season in autumn, is very rich in calcium, which is good for osteoporosis, and unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and EPA clear the blood, which is excellent for preventing adult diseases. Let's focus on the gizzard shad that's in season today.

Gizzard shad are turbulent fish, so they are often caught on the southern coast. Recently, it has been caught off Uljin on the east coast and off Incheon on the west coast, perhaps due to the effects of warming. If you leave out the East Sea in the north, gizzard shad comes out of the entire sea of South Korea. Therefore, in autumn, local governments promote "Our sea's gizzard shad is delicious, " but it seems that it is not possible to accurately consider the taste and evaluate the taste of the sea as delicious.

 

Still, it's easy for people who are sensitive to the taste of seawater to question which sea it belongs to. There are many cases where the difference in taste of fish caught along the coast, such as gizzard shad, is particularly different, and it is argued that the taste is different based on the bay. People in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do, call the gizzard shad of Jinhae Bay and Masan Bay differently, saying that the flesh is as cold as rice cake. In South Jeolla Province, people in Yeosu and Gwangyang say gizzard shadings of Gwangyang Bay, Suncheon Bay, and Deukryangman Bay and women's gizzard shadings are the best. In addition, Boryeong and Seocheon in Chungcheongnam-do also hold a gizzard festival every fall, saying that the taste of gizzard shad in the region is special.
