Have you ever eaten Japanese eel ? ?

Question

Was it tasty?

Answer 1

Well, almost...last week i almost succumbed but chickened out at the last minute. Thank heavens. Joo-Hyun's description has left me faint with distaste.  

Answer 2

Joo-hyun is right. Im from Singapore & have eaten grilled eel (by mistake), which happened to be delicious but there were too many bones & it took away the mood to enjoy eating it.

Answer 3

no.

Answer 4

When I was a chef and worked in Japan I had all the eels they serve there, from stewed to grilled the sushi unagi and in rice dishes too.

Conger eels are the biggest and pike eels the smaller and boniest, and then the fresh water baby ones which are prized for stews and soups, the stews like those the sumo wrestler's eat the "Chanko" are the best, the grilled ones are the larger conger eels most found in the sushi places grilled and topped with the sweet mirin and soy sauce glaze on sushi or sashimi platters.

Answer 5

Inside of sushi yes!

Answer 6

Yes, I hate it; worst food I ever tasted, don't get me wrong I love most Japanese foods but not eel, or whale...

Answer 7

Yes, I'm from Korea which is practically next to Japan and I went to a posh restaurant with my uncle, it's really nice but the only bad thing is it's got loads of little spiny bones.

Answer 8

Yes its very delicious...Its called " Unagi" its lace with a sweetened japanese soya base sauce, and its BBQ to perfection
