i need some advice from any korean fish connoisseurs out there.

i just finished the last of the catfish i had and am quite sad. i would like to find a replacement korean fish that is easy to acquire that could be southern fried in a similar way with similar mellow taste, flakiness and results.

does anyone have any recommendations?

I don't know the name but look for a picture of NZ snapper on google, there's a similar fish here, color, shape. I'm guessing southern style is with breadcrumbs?
About 20cm is a good size, not small to be Boney but not old and tough

i'm looking for more of like a catfish steak fillets, so the fish would have to be big enough to do steaks and preferably without bones because they don't fry up too well.

and yes, southern american style is pan fried in oil with a batter coating though how its made is all dependent on the chef.

고등어, or mackeral is the way to go.

Cod fillets might do alright. I've also had fried shark and the flat fish.

The smell of fish in the home lingers, both from the cooking process and from the garbage. So I haven't cooked fish at home. But having a big balcony now, I think I could put a burner out there and do some cookin' in the open air.

Is fresh trout or salmon to be found in this country's markets? Do they use fish farms?

Costco has Norwegian salmon fillets. Pretty pricey though. 35-40,000 won for a body length fillet. Taste great though.

The Red Snapper is called" Dome" in Korean.

Trout is quite common, it's called 송어: song eo. I think...
