'''''' () is a fish-shaped pastry stuffed with sweetened red bean paste, which originated from the Japanese taiyaki. One of South Korea's most popular winter street foods, the snack is often sold at street stalls, grilled on an appliance similar to a waffle iron but with a fish-shaped mold. Red bean paste is the standard filling but many sold as street food are filled with pastry cream (called "choux-bung" as the cream is called "choux-cream" in South Korea), sweet potato, pizza toppings, chocolate, kimchi and others. Usually, it costs about 1,000 won (KRW) for three . However, small costs 1,000 won for five and large costs 2,000 won for one, indicating that the price range varies depending on the size.
== Etymology == The word is a compound of "Korean Crucian carp ()" and "bread ()". The pastry, however, contains no ingredients from its namesake fish or any other fish; rather, the name comes from the shape of the pastry.
