This dish features a codfish head braised in a spicy sauce. Codfish is known as “daegu” in Korean for its large mouth and head. It is a white fish ranging from 50 cm to 1 m in length. Large fish tend to have firmer flesh, but codfish tends to be tender and gentle in taste, making it a popular fish to be cooked in clear soup, spicy stew, deep-fried, and braised. Meat from codfish heads offers a chewy, more elastic texture than the meat from the body. Braising codfish head with bean sprouts, water parsley, and spicy sauce creates this spicy and chewy dish. Enjoy the meat with crunchy bean sprouts to create an interesting contrast.
