Prepared shredded pollock, also known as taegu or bugeochae in Korean cuisine, is a popular seafood product made from dried and shredded Alaska pollock. This ready-to-eat Korean appetizer features tender shredded fish seasoned with a savory-sweet-spicy blend of chili pepper, sesame seeds, sesame oil, paprika, honey, and sugar. Taegu can be enjoyed straight from the package as a snack, served alongside poke in Hawaiian seafood departments, used in Korean soups and stews, mixed into salads and noodle dishes, or grilled and dipped in gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste) as a traditional banchan (side dish).
