What's whitebait?
Whitebait is a species of icefish found in Korea, Japan, and Russia. They grow to be 10cm long. Despite its small size, it is considered a food fish and caught commercially.
How's it made?
First, a layer of glutinous rice gochuchang sauce is applied to the 100% domestic dried whitebait. Then, a sheet of dried laver is placed on top of the sauce. This creates a spicy, yet sweet flavor.
How to enjoy?
Beer snack, side dish, etc.
About Sea Forest (Badasoop)
Founded by patriarch Cheolsoo Song, family-owned Badasoop has been providing gamtae using their patented skill sets since 1980. Gamtae has a long history in Korean cuisine dating back to at least the Chosun dynasty, when records show the royal family enjoying it as early as 1609. However, it is still rare and relatively unknown in Korea, as gamtae only grows in uncontaminated sea water and is impossible to farm; its peak season being the dead of winter makes it difficult to harvest by hand. These conditions mean that there are only a handful of folks with enough knowledge to provide quality gamtae.
