Cheap, Nutritious And Very Popular Mackerel

Cheap, nutritious and very popular mackerel has been a 'national fish' for a long time. This fish appeared frequently in popular songs and poems. Mother's heartful love was described as "salted mackerel by mother before going to bed" to the son who opened a refrigerator for thirsty and met with it. ('Mother and Mackerel' by Kim, Changwan) A poet conjures up the memory of beautiful day boning and eating the fish with his lover all smiling on the face. ('Mackerel Lover' by Kang, Jeong)
Furthermore a singer named Norazo prioritize the mackerel rather than tuna, bill fish and hair tail. with the eulogy of beautiful fish having "DHA for You". ('Mackerel') JaBan Mackerel , which is salted mackerel has been exported for it's wonderful taste. The artist of Heo, Youngman portrays the salted mackerel from Andong is so tasty that we are likely to suck its tail. Mackerel is said to have been named for its swollen back. If the fish has dots on the belly, it is called Baehak fish if no, called Byukmun fish (Blue-Pattern fish) These two names are scientific names written in the ⌜JasaneoBo⌟ by Jeong, Yakjeon, which is the oldest scientific-fish book in Korea. In a book ⌜DongKukYeoJiSeongLam⌟ its name is written as 'Old Knife Fish' which is made from the fish's knife shaped body. This fish is now the one of the common people, but Japanese preferred fish during the reign of Japanese for its expensive price.
The japanese name of Mackerel is 'SABA' derived from the japanese verb 'SABA SABAHADA' , which means dealing with things in unfair and private way. And this also means they used the fish as a bribery for achieving their immoral request. There is another story about the etymology of SABA, which is derived from SABAOYOMU (cheat others and get his own profits). This time a fish dealer cheats customers when they count the fish at the fish market. These two etymologies for SABA are just a hypothesis.
The fluctuating price of the mackerel is a big news for the commoners on account of the fish's long time position of the national fish. It became a news lately that domestic mackerel sold at the price of 9900 Won for a mackerel. "So its name is KUMDENGEO (Gold fish) or KODENGEO, (High-priced fish) not JUNG or JEO DENGEO (Middle- or Low-priced fish)"--this kind of netizens' comments are interesting on the one side and regretful on the other hand. We hope the autumn mackerel, too tasty to give a daughter-in-law turns back the commoners' fish with the reasonable price. And so wouldn't we commoners go to bed with the pleasure of eating the fish tomorrow morning.
