Shin Dong-min's Seasonal Gizzard Shad Fritters and Yam Fritters

Crispy whole large gizzard shad with backbone removed, and frittered yam that transforms from astringent to chewy and sweet

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Fresh yam has a strong astringent and bitter taste, but when heated and deep-fried, the astringency disappears completely, leaving behind a savory sweetness and chewy texture.
  • Soaking the gizzard shad in light saltwater before frying helps remove moisture and fishy odor through osmosis, resulting in cleaner flavor.
  • If the frying oil temperature drops, the ingredients will absorb too much oil and become soggy, so maintaining consistent heat and frying quickly is key.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a new dimension of intense crunch and richness compared to grilled or raw gizzard shad.
  • Those who want to enjoy a healthy, chewy, and sweet yam fritter without the astringent taste as a special beer snack.
