Yellow Corvina / Yellow Croaker

Salted yellow corvina chaban from "Growing Up In A Korean Kitchen"

Yeonggwang is famous for its large production of croaker which Korean people choose one of the best presents for presents to other people. They are called these "rice thief" because of its wide popularity. Also, it is called Yeonggwang gulbi(meaning dried croaker) among Koreans. They originated from the Goryeo Dynasty. Yellow corvina moves northward from the East China Sea, where they spend the winter season, to Yeonpyeongdo Island, to spawn at the start of the thawing season. They spawn at sea in front of Chilsan, near Beopseongpo in Yeonggwang, between April 10 and 30, while moving northward.
