How We Put Together This Introductory Kit to the Jeju Sea

If you have been curious about Jeju fish but did not know where to begin, this set is your first step. Hairtail, okdom and mackerel are the fish that define the Jeju table, yet even the same fish can taste very different depending on where it was caught, how it was cleaned and how it was stored. We send all three fully cleaned and frozen, so that even first-time buyers can enjoy them all at once without worrying about preparation.

About the name — the set's Korean name is formed from the first syllables of the Korean words for hairtail, okdom and mackerel.

Together, the three weigh approx. 670–835g after cleaning. Grill one for each meal and compare them, and you will discover how the tenderness of hairtail, the clean taste of okdom and the rich, nutty flavor of mackerel each differ.

Three Fish, Three Distinct Characters

Hairtail — a clean, tender taste with its silver scales intact

This hairtail is line-caught in the coastal waters off Jeju. Line fishing leaves the silver scales less damaged, so freshness is well preserved; the flesh has a fair amount of fat yet tastes clean rather than greasy. Each whole fish weighs about 400–480g; we remove the head, tail and innards, cut it into 4 pieces and vacuum-pack it.

• It is unsalted, so you can season it to your taste whether you grill or braise it.

• Because it is already cleaned, you can grill or braise it right after thawing.

Okdom — Jeju's signature fish, mild in smell and tender

Okdom (Jeju horsehead tilefish) is Jeju's signature fish with a rosy-red hue. It has little fishy smell and tender flesh, so it is loved by children and adults alike. It is caught one fish at a time on longlines, which leaves few marks on the fish, and after it is won at auction it is processed and quick-frozen the same day.

• It comes fully cleaned, with the innards, head, tail and backbone removed.

• It is lightly seasoned with Korean sea salt during processing, so it grills up with a clean, delicate flavor.

Mackerel fillet — backbone removed, ready to grill

A single fillet of Jeju mackerel with only the backbone removed. Small bones may remain, so please check when eating. At about 180–240g, one fillet is just right for one person in one sitting, and since you only need to grill or braise it, it is convenient for anyone who finds cleaning fish a chore.

From the Source to Your Table

• CatchThe hairtail and okdom are caught one fish at a time by line in the Jeju sea.

• ProcessingThe fish are cleaned and vacuum-packed in Jeju, then frozen. The okdom is processed and quick-frozen on the same day it is won at auction.

• PackagingPacked in an ice box with ice packs and dry ice, then shrink-wrapped in plastic to prevent contamination.

• DispatchYou can check the dispatch schedule in the dispatch notice at the top of the product page and the estimated dispatch date on your order form. Weekends and public holidays are moved according to the dispatch calendar.

Please Check on the Day of Arrival

• That the packaging is not torn or burst

• That the fish is frozen solid (not thawed and soft)

• That the hairtail's silver sheen is even and intact

• That all three items are included (1 hairtail, 1 okdom, 1 mackerel fillet)

If there is a problem with the product, please take photos and submit a report in My Page on the day of arrival.

Storage and Thawing

Place the fish in the freezer (−18℃ or below) as soon as it arrives. Rather than thawing everything at once, it is best to take out only as much as you will eat.

1. The night before you plan to eat it, move it from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw slowly. If you are in a hurry, thaw it in cold water without opening the packaging.

2. Once thawed, pat it thoroughly dry with paper towels. Drying it keeps the oil from spattering while grilling and helps the skin cook nicely.

3. Do not refreeze fish once it has been thawed. Its taste and texture will suffer, and it is not good for hygiene either.

How to Enjoy It

Grilled hairtail

Thaw, pat dry and sprinkle lightly with salt, then grill over medium heat in a preheated pan with a little oil. Turning it once is enough. It is done when the skin is golden and the flesh has turned white. As it is unsalted, adjust the seasoning while grilling.

Braised hairtail

Line the pot with radish first, place the hairtail on top and braise it with the sauce; the radish soaks up the flavor and the broth becomes deeper. Since it is already cut into 4 pieces, it can go straight into the pot.

Grilled okdom · Okdom seaweed soup

Because the okdom is already salted, grilling it until golden in a pan or air fryer without oil brings out its clean, delicate flavor. In Jeju, okdom is also used to make seaweed soup. Sauté soaked seaweed in sesame oil, add water and the okdom, and simmer for a clear, refreshing broth without any fishy smell.

Grilled or braised mackerel

Simply thaw, pat dry and grill it in a pan. Braise it with radish and sauce for a flavorful braised dish. Small bones may remain, so please take care when serving children and seniors.

Perfect For

• Those buying Jeju fish for the first time

• Those who want to taste a little of hairtail, okdom and mackerel to compare which suits them best

• Those who have hesitated to buy fish because cleaning it is a hassle

• Those who want to keep fish in the freezer and take out one kind at a time when needed
