Elevate your cooking with the tasty savoriness of Korean Dried Whole Pollock from Yongdae-ri! Known as “Hwangtae Village”.  This Yongdae-ri village is located in the Gangwon-do Province, where the inland mountains meet the strong ocean winds of the East Sea. 

The mountainous area of Gangwon-do Province has the perfect climate and environment for naturally drying pollock due to its wide daily temperature range and brisk ocean winds. The pollock is hung every December to dry naturally in the strong winds from the surrounding mountains and coastal winds from the East sea that meet in Yongdae-ri. It stays hung until March/April of the following year. 

The pollock goes through many cycles (about 20!)  of freezing, thawing and drying thanks to the rapidly changing temperatures during the winter season.  This is how Yongdae-ri dried pollock achieves its clean natural taste and the soft, tender, chewy texture perfect for cooking. It also helps cut out the fishy aroma. The cold temperatures, strong winter winds from the East sea, and the perfect amount of sunlight is why 70% of Korean dried pollock is produced right in Yongdae-ri. Dried Pollock is rich in vitamins and minerals like protein and calcium. As pollock dries, its protein content actually doubles! Now you can enjoy the amazing flavor, delightful chewiness, and premium quality of Shredded Dried Pollock from Yongdae-ri. Great for cooking and even as a hangover cure!
