Ribbonfish is a long, flat, silver-skinned marine fish (Trichiurus lepturus) named for its ribbon-like body. It is also widely known as hairtail fish, cutlassfish and beltfish. Prized for its firm, mild white flesh, it is a staple across Korean, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine — grilled, braised, pan-fried or steamed. In Korea, galchi (갈치) is one of the most popular everyday fish; in China, 带鱼 is a household favorite.
