◇ Core Value
Wild-caught.
Hand-shaped. Honest.
Most commercial eomuk relies on mixed white fish and binding fillers. We don't. Project 001 is built on a single-source fish promise — 100% wild-caught Alaskan pollock — and a refusal to shortcut the traditional techniques that hands used to do.
The result isn't louder, it's truer: a cleaner fish flavor, a more resilient bite, and a fishcake that tastes like it was made by someone, not something.

◇ The Process · 연구 기록
Five steps. No shortcuts.
Step 01
[ PRC-001 ]
Source · Alaskan Pollock
100% wild-caught from MSC-certified Bering Sea fisheries. Frozen at sea to preserve peak texture and purity.
Step 02
[ PRC-002 ]
The Paste · 반죽의 과학
Pollock paste is blended in small batches with potato starch, green onion, carrot, and a precise salt ratio (1.8%) — the threshold at which myofibrillar proteins gel into eomuk's signature bounce.
Step 03
[ PRC-003 ]
Shape · By Hand
Each cake is hand-formed in small batches. No extrusion, no machine moulding — texture is a tactile decision.
Step 04
[ PRC-004 ]
Fry · 175 °C
Canola oil, held at 175 °C ± 2°. Below this, the surface is pale; above, the protein toughens. The window is narrow on purpose.
Step 05
[ PRC-005 ]
Serve · Fresh & Hot
From our hands to yours, fresh and hot. Small-batch craft, served the way street food was meant to be.
◇ Specimens · 시식 기록
