salted seafood
Salted fish or various kinds of fish and shellfish such as salted fish, eggs, and intestines are fermented and seasoned with salt. Some are made using meat. There are many types depending on the method of making them, and they are used for side dishes or seasoning. Salted fish is also known as 'fish salted' when it is boiled down after mixing salted fish with rice or rice and red pepper powder.
The origins of salted fish are closely related to the history of food fermentation. It is said that the fermentation of food first began in hot regions such as India, Vietnam, and Thailand. Due to the region's sweltering climate, what was left of the food obtained through gathering, hunting, etc. easily went bad and was thrown away. However, some people discovered that the seemingly spoiled food fermented naturally, resulting in a food with new flavors. Fermented foods using beans gradually developed in agricultural areas, and fermented foods using seafood gradually appeared in fishing areas.
The oldest existing record of salted fish is 爾雅, one of China's best autobiographies, recorded from the 3rd to 5th centuries BC. In this literature, salted fish is called "ji (鮨)" and salted fish made of meat is called "hae (醢)," which is considered the origin of salted fish.
Korean salted fish
It is estimated that Korean salted fish originated in the Neolithic Age. [1] In the literature, it appears as a food of waste white to greet the queen in the records of the 3rd year (683), the King of Sinmun of the Three Kingdoms and the Original Silla Period. Throughout the Goryeo Dynasty, there were four types according to the method of making it in the Joseon Dynasty, and the types were more diverse than today.
