Haddock is a very popular fish for food. It is sold fresh, smoked, frozen, dried, or canned. Fresh haddock has a fine white flesh and can be cooked in the same ways as cod. The freshness of a haddock fillet can be determined by how well it holds together, as a fresh one will be firm. Also, fillets should be translucent, while older fillets turn a chalky hue. It is as an excellent source of dietary protein and contains a good deal of vitamin B12, pyridoxine, and selenium, and a healthy balance of sodium and potassium, with very little fat.

Medium-fine powder can be used for napa kimchi or radish kimchi. Course powder is used for summer kimchi, 열무김치. Make sure the powder is well sealed to lock in the nutrients. Two big nutrients of hot peppers are vitamins A and B.

Simply mix this powder with some water and add different kinds of vegetables or seafood in it. To make them taste better, I usually mix some normal flour with this, and sometimes add frying mix (when I want to make them more crispy.)
