So good; thank you for sharing! Have made it twice, and will make it often since seeing the other fish options. Every recipe I’ve tried has been excellent. Thanks!

Great recipe! It turned out like how my mom used to make it. I simmered dashima (kelp) in the water for a few hours for the broth, and subbed chrysanthemum leaves with arugula since I couldn’t find them. But it turned out well nonetheless. Thank you for your recipes— they are excellent!

Hi, I just wanted to tell you this soup is delicious (am making it again tonight!) Since the pandemic started, I’ve been learning to cook Korean food with your recipes (I am not a natural in the kitchen) for my elderly parents. Everything has been a hit — especially your recipes for jeon, galbi tang and this soup. My mother cannot eat spicy (bad Korean lol) and this was perfect for her. More non-spicy recipes please! I find so many Korean recipe blogs are all about the super spicy food and while I personally like them, there isn’t enough out there for those with less or no tolerance for spicy. Oh and the gungjung tteokboki was a hit with my young niece and nephew (who also can’t eat spicy…yet :-)! Thank you so much – please keep the great recipes coming <3

In reply to Yuri. Hi Yuri! 1. Yes it will turn out tasty. The texture of the frozen fish might be slightly tougher/chewier. 2. Any white fish will work for this dish such as flounder, haddock, tilapia, etc. Enjoy!

Hi Hyosun,
1. If I use frozen cod fillets (from Costco), will it still turn out tasty?
2. Will other kinds of fish also work in this recipe?
Thank you for sharing this recipe!

In reply to Peggy. Oh nice! Yes I love this mild, refreshing fish stew too. Very glad to hear you make Korean food for your family using my recipes. How nice you make Korean food for your parents! I'm sure they are very appreciative.

Hello! I got some lake fish from a neighbor and wanted to make a soup that my whole family could enjoy… Nothing too spicy bc one of my kids can’t handle it. This was perfect! The flavor was refreshing and bright without being too fishy. Thank you for yet another delicious recipe! I am second gen Korean-American and love that I can cook Korean food for my family that we all enjoy! I make your recipes for my parents, too, and they love them 🙂

I have tried twice today (4/30/16) to sign up for your emails but nothing comes to my email so that I can confirm. Your blog is amazing and your food looks mouth watering.

In reply to Soyon. Hi Soyon - Thanks! There is such a thing, called dongtae guk (or jjigae) made with fresh pollack. You can use the cooking method in this recipe to make guk (soup). Simply use more liquid and add some kongnamul and/or fully fermented kimchi. My favorite is dongtae jjigae with some kimchi in it. Hope this helps!

This looks so good! I was actually looking for a dongtae guk recipe (using fresh fish, not the dried)…. I swear my mom used to make it but I couldn’t find anything online. I was wondering if I’m just imagining it or maybe it was daegu and not dongtae?
