Takine Kodari Jorim & Chueotang

Address

178-1, Yangsan-ro, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul

Description

A famous spot in Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, specializing in braised semi-dried pollack (kodari jorim) and loach dishes. This time, we’ll highlight two must-try items: Braised Semi-dried Pollack with Dried Radish Greens and Deep-fried Loach. When you order, the table is set with kimchi, seasoned chili, bean sprouts, seaweed, and wasabi soy sauce along with a simple broth to pair with the loach. Braised Semi-dried Pollack is made with half-dried pollack simmered in a rich sauce, accompanied by siraegi (dried radish greens). The addition of rice cakes or potatoes makes the dish even heartier. The pollack is soft enough to pull apart with chopsticks, yet retains a pleasantly springy texture. Each bite combines the savory flavor of semi-dried fish with the mild, balanced seasoning that never feels overwhelming. The bones are carefully removed, making it easy to enjoy. The nutty aroma of sesame oil from the siraegi provides a delightful contrast, and pairing the dish with side dishes like bean sprouts or seaweed adds extra layers of flavor. Deep-fried Loach is another highlight. The loach, also used in Tokyo’s traditional Yanagawa Nabe, is fried to golden perfection—crispy on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. Dipping it into wasabi soy sauce enhances its nutty richness with a sharp, spicy kick. It offers a completely different experience compared to the pollack, making them great to order together. And here’s a pro tip: although it’s a braised dish, you can add ramyeon noodles! Served separately and mixed into the sweet-spicy sauce, the noodles transform into a unique stir-fried treat. If you feel the meal ended too soon, adding noodles is the perfect finishing touch.
