Finely chopped fish meat + flour + some flavor + some vege + deep fry = fish cake

This was my gateway Korean food! I was a picky American yet eomuk bokkeum (the stir-fried version of this) was so dang good. Then I discovered it was fish cakes and the mystery of how they got that texture from just flour was solved. Everyone says soups and pancakes and bbq for gateways into Korean foods, but I vote eomuk bokkeum.

Thats 어묵, fish cakes. Come in hell-of-many kinds. Tried blueberry fish cake once, and it was great. Really.
어묵 (eomuk) aka 오뎅 (odeng). Fish cakes.
In case you need some benignly hypnotising content to consume…

People already said its name but incase you wanted to know how it is made, the fish is powderized, mixed with flour and veggies, and deep fried.
Here’s how they are made in a factory in S. Korea.
