This is a fish cake I often use in a stir fry.
I bought this pack for about 1700 won. But fish cake prices range from 800 to 3000 won.
What it is made of and how it is made.
It is usually made of yellow corvenia (a type of fish) or squid. (Oily fish isn’t good to make fish cake.) The squashed fish flesh is kneaded with some salt, sugar, starch, and cooking wine then, steamed or fried.

Hi,
Where can I find this flat fish cake? I live in Northern California and I’ve been looking around, but haven’t been able to find them. Usually the oriental grocery stores only carry the thick kinds, but they aren’t as good.
Jen, check this recipe out.

Can anyone help with my question about the fish cake? I see it served as a side dish. My son loves it. What is the sauce that it is cooked in?
Marian, Eomuk and odeng means the same thing, fish cake. Eomuk is Korean and odeng is Koreanized Japanese.
question, what is the difference between eomuk and odeng? eomuk is the fish cake itself, while odeng is with soup? is that right to say?
Hi Marielen,
I couldn’t find an image of dilis on the internet so I don’t know what to expect.
If it looks similar to dried anchovies how about you try them anyway? If you can’t get anchovies that might be the only option you have.
The anchovies give the broth its deep fish taste, so another similar fish may be ok.
Hi! i’ve been looking for authentic recipe for odeng or fish cake soup for a long time. I am from the philippines but i have some koreans friends that introduce me to this dish. I wanted to surprice them by making one at home so that i can make this for them once they come and visit my house. Is there any other substitute for the anchovies? becuase here in the philippines we have something simmilar we call it “dilis” would that be ok to use. Please give me more ideas on korean and japanese dishes that are easy to cook. thank you looking forward to your help.

[...] As the weather gets colder, soup gains popularity as a side meal or as a drink snack with korean wisky “soju”. “Eomuk” means fish cake and “Guk” means soup in English. I used fish cake with stick, which is about 1 dollar more expensive than square fish cake . Because it looks fancy, so it seems tastier. [...]
