This dish, known as “Omogaritang” in Korean, is prepared in a hot pot called “omogari” in Jeolla-do. It is a spicy fish stew featuring catfish, vegetables, and spices cooked in “omogari.” The hot pot retains heat very well thanks to its thickness, so even when brought to the table, the stew continues to boil. It allows the dish to retain warmth until the end of the meal, so braised dishes and stew are often served in hot pots. Catfish, the star of the dish, soaks up the spicy soup and sauce while retaining its clean aftertaste. It can also be prepared with other freshwater fish, such as mandarin fish and Korean bullhead. This healthy dish is popular among the people of Jeonju.
