Premium-Quality, Southern-Coast
[Badaro] Premium Korean Dried Anchovy (4 Varieties)
Today, we present you with premium dried anchovies harvested from the southern coast of Korea - off the Wando Coast.
Badaro take prides in the unmistakable quality of their anchovies.
Take one glance and you will immediately notice the difference.
The anchovy skin boasts a silver sheen and the bodies are noticeably firm and undamaged.
The secret behind this excellence lies in their manual processing methods. Badaro refrains from using heavy machinery, instead opting for small-batch production.
Each small batch of anchovies is delicately spread out on the shore, where they can naturally dry under the warm sun and refreshing ocean breeze.
This swift and open drying process effectively eliminates the fishy odor commonly found in bulk-processed factory anchovies.
Badaro firmly believes that this approach ensures the delivery of premium-quality seafood to their valued customers.
If you're searching for the perfect ingredients to prepare Stir-fried Dried Anchovy Banchan (Myeolchi Bokkeum) or Anchovy-Kelp Stock Broth, look no further!
