Cutlassfish is loved by many Koreans and is used in dishes including fried cutlassfish, cutlassfish stew, cutlassfish jorim, and cutlassfish soup. It is especially popular when it is in season from July to October.

The Korean word for cutlassfish is Galchi, which means 'a fish that looks like a knife. It is well known for its high protein content and is used as a healthy ingredient. Cutlassfish contains essential amino acids such as lysine, phenylalanine, and methionine. It is a protein-rich food that is perfect for children in hot summer.

Jeju Island is well-known as a good spot to try cutlassfish. Jeju’s cutlassfish jorim is made of a type of cutlassfish found on Jeju called silver cutlassfish that is bigger and more expensive than ordinary cutlassfish. It is a dish you must try when visiting Jeju as it will stimulate your appetite with its deliciously spicy flavor.
