I call it Butterfish, as in when butter dies, it's reincarnated as Maero.

It can be expensive. A piece in a sushi train place about W5K, at E-Mart about W40K per kilo and at Costco big slabs for about W30K per kilo. It's a really oily fish, with thick bones-almost like plates!-and succulent flesh made sticky by the oil and skin. It's great but I don't know what it is...a type of groper? I'd be interested to read your take on it. btw-soju in Melbourne is about W12K just from a supermarket. In NZ a bit cheaper. You have to be thankful for care packages and those soju lunchpacks....even if it does remind me of Victory Gin from Orwell's "1984" I don’t know what the fish is there but I’ve been enjoying Maero (매로) from time to time.

Which means it costs about $12 to get it to your table in a restaurant. I could imagine Koreans coming to Canada and having to always eat Korean absolutely freaking out when a $1 bottle of soju costs them 12x. Hope they appreciate how we feel when we go to buy real cheese :) A bottle of soju at the liquor store in Canada is about $6. Which means it costs about $12 to get it to your table in a restaurant.
