Kuenabe (Longtooth Grouper Hot Pot)

The kue or longtooth grouper is a mysterious large fish with a length of 1m. Sample its fatty and resilient flesh in hot pot dishes

Kue is a highly prized fish that once you eat it, you won’t want to eat any other fish. Its best season is between October and December, and with its springy and gelatinous texture, the white and fatty flesh is also the perfect ingredient in hot pot.
