Braised Monkfish (Agu-jjim)

Monkfish · Gunsan Style · Spicy Korean Braise

Bold, Spicy & Deeply Satisfying,
Gunsan's legendary braised monkfish at home.

Gunsan is famous across Korea for its agu-jjim — a fiery, gochujang-based braise built around the springy, firm flesh of monkfish. This kit brings you 700g of premium monkfish alongside a rich, deeply seasoned sauce that delivers the full heat and umami punch of the original without any of the prep.

Why You'll Love It
