I had a grilled fish set meal for lunch at a restaurant.

A grilled fish set meal is a Korean-style set that features fish grilled with salt or light seasoning, served with rice, soup, and a variety of side dishes.

Depending on the restaurant and region, the most commonly used fish include:

  1. Grilled mackerel: rich and savory with a high oil content
  2. Grilled hairtail: mild with tender, delicate flesh
  3. Grilled yellow croaker: lightly salty with a traditional flavor
  4. Grilled Spanish mackerel: moist with a deep, rich taste

One of these is served as the main dish.

Which fish do you like the most? I like grilled mackerel.
