Never realized potatoes would go so well with mackerel. Was a very homey and comforting recipe. SynKatt USA joined 11/14 & has 1 commentPosted November 5th, 2014 at 2:08 pm | Log in to reply. This looks so good and i wanted to make it for dinner tonight, but i have a couple questions.1) can i use cubed radish kimchi instead of the cabbage kind?2) can this be frozen after cooking?Thanks so much! 😺 Mr.Kimchi Why? joined 10/16 & has 1 commentPosted October 22nd, 2016 at 8:44 am | Log in to reply. YES you can! I would first practice with cabbage unless you want to use cubed radish kimchi right away! xerathemum KY, USA joined 4/14 & has 1 commentPosted April 30th, 2014 at 7:02 pm | Log in to reply. Maangchi, I made this stew today for my grandmother and I, and we loved it! It’s so tasty and so simple. I’ll admit we had some reservations giving it a try, but I’m glad we did. Your recipes are always so amazing, keep up the great work! :D tamy23 Brasil joined 3/14 & has 4 commentsPosted April 9th, 2014 at 7:05 pm | Log in to reply. Maangchi I can’t find canned mackerel where I live. Can I use the frozen fish insted? hotbunsandmilk Los Feliz, CA joined 3/14 & has 2 commentsPosted March 23rd, 2014 at 4:25 pm | Log in to reply. Delicious and satisfying!!! I made this for dinner yesterday and it turned out great! I had just purchased a dozen cans of the Sempio mackerel from Zion Market last weekend. They sell them at a dollar more per can, which is still cheaper than a can of salmon. I eat fish everyday, making sandwiches, fried fish cakes for breakfast, adding to salads, and yes, right out of the can with dipping sauce. I was so happy to find this recipe. A few years ago, I used to mix cabbage with onions, garlic, canned salmon, Sriracha chili sauce and a drizzling of sesame oil towards the end. To my dismay, the salmon always crumbled. Using mackerel (or similar fish) is the best way to go because it holds its shape well during the cooking time. The kimchi and gochujang gives it a depth of flavor that is so good, while the potato gives it just enough carb tease. Thank you so much for this recipe.

LOL.It’s really fun to read your story. “Using mackerel (or similar fish) is the best way to go because it holds its shape well during the cooking time.” I have never thought about this, yes, it makes sense!Good luck with your Korean cooking! hotbunsandmilk Los Feliz, CA joined 3/14 & has 2 commentsPosted March 25th, 2014 at 11:31 am | Log in to reply.

Holy moly, that looks good, and it combines my favorite things: kimchi, canned mackeral and camping!

I’m actually looking for dishes to cook for my fiancee (Korean) to surprise her. I still haven’t decided, but I think I will add this to my list of dishes to consider. Thanks for sharing! peonygirl portland, oregon joined 8/09 & has 50 commentsPosted February 20th, 2014 at 2:07 pm | Log in to reply. This is looks so fabulous! And easy too. I like the potatoes- makes it more substantial. This seems an easier version of your other stewed mackerel dish with radish. I’d like to try both on a camping trip! Thanks Maangchi!!!

Well I like it Maangchi.Mackerel is such a pretty fish and it’s always in all the grocery stores. Your friend is kinda bossy but at least she knows how to peel a potato good. :-PHey when you go camping like this do you bring cooked rice or you make it there?

For a second I saw “camping stew” and thought we might be getting something a la budae jjigae. But I’ll take mackerel over Spam and hot dogs any day!
