Sungeo-guk () is a variety of guk, or Korean soup, made with flathead grey mullet and black pepper. It has a clear broth seasoned with salt, minced garlic, ginger juice, and chopped scallions.

During ancient times, the flathead grey mullet caught in Pyongyang, Chungsan, Anju, Kangso, Ryonggang, Chongju, Kasan, Sunchon, Cholsan and Uiju, which are now in North Korea, were famous for their flavor. Those from the Taedong River, where flathead grey mullet are abundant, were especially renowned.
