Serves 2

A popular spicy fish dish originating in a southeastern town called Ma-san, this is a relatively new dish created in the 1960's. Currently, Agwijjim is sold at many specialty restaurants throughout South Korean. This is a wonderful recipe, but beginners may find it too spicy. To be safe, you may want to start by using half the suggested amount of sauce and increasing to taste.
