Sikhae is a salted fermented food in Korean cuisine prepared with fish and grains. Sikhae is made in the east coast regions of Korea, namely Gwanbuk, Gwandong, and Yeongnam. Righteye flounders are typically used for sikhae. Other commonly used fish include Alaska pollock, chub mackerel, sailfin sandfish, and Japanese anchovy. Sometimes, dried fish such as bugeo (dried Alaska pollock) may also be used to make sikhae. Grain-wise, cooked foxtail millet is used in the Gwanbuk region, while cooked rice is used in other regions. Sometimes, millet, quinoa, or other grains may also be used.
