Visitors can try baendaengi prepared sashimi-style, roasted, or in a spicy soup. For this particular species of herring, locals believe the flavor is best in March and April when they grow to their largest size.

Soeo have internal organs that are proportionally smaller than other species of fish and are known for their feisty nature.
