📖 Fermented Skate Fish from Wikipedia:
Hongeo-hoe (Korean: 홍어회; Hanja: 洪魚膾) is a type of fermented fish dish from Korea’s Jeolla province. Hongeo-hoe is made from skate and emits a very strong, characteristic ammonia-like odor that has been described as being “reminiscent of an outhouse”.

So I found out the answer to “why would anyone ferment the skate fish with its own urine?”…
[I found this online😮] “The skate doesn’t pee like other animals,” explains Kim Mal-shim, owner of Deok Inn Jip, a local hongeo restaurant in operation for 33 years. “It releases urine through its skin.” [NO WONDER LA!]
