Clean, filtered seawater, used straight from the coast in parts of Korea — especially Jeju — as a natural, mineral-rich seasoning. Its balanced salinity and trace minerals season raw-fish soups and shellfish dishes more gently and roundly than dissolved salt, lending a clean, oceanic savour. Drawn fresh and strained, it is a frugal, characterful touch in seaside home cooking.
