I bought jade dome for expensive money, but I came back…

Real okdom [식약처]

Ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays, online shopping mall companies that sell cheap fish such as Okdueo and Nambangokdome were discovered.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said, “As a result of genetic analysis of 27 okdom products sold in online shopping malls, 3 cases were determined as fake okdom, Okdueo and Nambangokdom,” and said, “The main characteristics of okdom when consumers buy okdom. Please check and buy it.” “This inspection is conducted for safety management ahead of the Lunar New Year holidays according to consumer information that the cheap okdome is tricked into selling as an expensive okdome, aiming that the main characteristics of okdom will disappear if it is baked or used as a soup stock. I did.”

According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, Naver Smart Store’Jeju Lime’ introduced a product called Jeju Ok Dome made in Korea and actually sold Nambang Ok Dome. Naver band’Singsing Food’ and’The Four Seasons Table’ was introduced as Okdom and sold Okdu. It plans to take measures such as prosecution against companies selling fake okdom for violating the Food Labeling Act.

Okdom, Okdueo, and Nambangokdom are fish belonging to the Perch group Okdom. It is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye due to the similar shape, but if you know the main characteristics of these species, such as’spots under the eyes’,’irregular yellow vertical bands in the center of the body’, and’the shape and color of the fin bands’, you can distinguish a real okdom.

The real okdom is characterized by silver-white triangular spots under the eyes. There is an irregular yellow vertical band in the center of the body, the dorsal fin is orange, and the caudal fin has 5-6 yellow horizontal stripes on a pale yellow background.

Unlike Okdome, Okdu has no silvery white pattern under the eyes. The dorsal fin is black or gray, and the caudal fin has 2~3 yellow vertical lines of wave-like patterns. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety explained, “All products sold as black and white dome are on the market.” Nambangokdome does not have a triangular pattern under its eyes, its back is brown, its dorsal fin has yellow and black spots, and its caudal fin has bright yellow horizontal stripes.
