Cutlassfish is often called the "national fish" in Korea because of its savory and slightly sweet taste, as well as its tender flesh, making it one of the most beloved fish among Koreans.

The black cutlassfish featured at the Gwangju Branch is delivered directly from Mokpo and is available in a variety of sizes, including 1 kg and 2 kg cutlassfish, which far exceed the commonly known "large" cutlassfish weighing 500 g.
