Yoon Yi-ryeon's Grilled Hairtail

A fresh hairtail grilled to crispy-on-the-outside, moist-on-the-inside perfection by blocking fishiness with a saltwater wash and a light dusting of flour.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Washing fish directly under running tap water for too long causes osmotic pressure to draw out the sweet flavor and intensify fishiness, so always wash in slightly salty water.
  • A thin coating of flour or Korean pancake mix prevents the fish from sticking and breaking apart in the pan, and makes the surface much crispier.
  • If the fish is added before the pan and oil are fully heated, it will absorb too much oil and the skin will peel off, so thorough preheating is essential.

Recommended for

  • Those whose hairtail always falls apart or turns out soggy when grilled at home.
  • Those who want to learn a traditional cleaning technique that completely blocks fishy odors.
  • Those who want a perfectly seasoned, savory grilled fish that pairs wonderfully with rice.
