Where are the factories that make fish cakes and fish balls?

What kind(s) of fish are Korean fish cakes (Eomuk) made of?

  • I've recently been introduced to Korean cuisine and fell in love with fish cakes. At first I thought they were stir fried noodles but was told it was made of fish. I never tried it boiled but i really love it stir fried with vegetables. I wanted to learn how to make them myself at home but i was unable to find any recipes. I'm not even sure what they are made of. Does anyone know what kinds of fish is in them? And does anyone have a recipe on how to make them at home? Thank you in advance.
