Fish cake the Busan way: ground white fish pressed and fried into skewers, croquettes and bakery trays, eaten with a paper cup of hot broth.

Eomuk workshops grew around Busan's port under Japanese rule, adapting kamaboko to Korean tastes, and the wartime boom made the city Korea's fish-cake capital. Bupyeong market carts sold it on skewers with broth; Samjin, founded 1953 on Yeongdo, is the oldest name still pressing it, and Goraesa turned it into a premium bakery counter. Ask for eomuk, not odeng, and drink the broth to the bottom.
