Boligulbi 보리굴비 + Nogcha bab 녹차밥

Yellow corvina fermented in barley and green tea rice. The cook first brought the grilled fish in one piece and then asked me something I didn't understand. I nodded. After five minutes he came back with the fish in pieces and had apparently fried the separate pieces. 

The green tea rice was a bit of a mystery to me until the waitress explained. I had to put the rice in a bowl of cold green tea. I can imagine that this dish is served with hot green tea in winter.

The banchan (반찬) were really excellent in this Gunsan (군산) restaurant.  Main ingredient: yellow corvina (gulbi: 굴비). I have not found a recipe for yellow corvina fermented in barley (보리) in English, but you can use gulbi-gui 굴비구이 instead: pan fried dried yellow corvina.
