Savor this versatile fish that's prepared in countless ways around the world, from Japanese unagi to smoked European varieties. Eel has a rich, slightly sweet flavor and tender texture that's completely different from most fish. Try it grilled with teriyaki sauce at a Japanese restaurant, or smoked at a European delicatessen for two distinct but equally delicious experiences.

“Once I waited 2 hours at a restaurant in Uji, the chef had live eels and he killed, cleaned and cooked them in front of us, thats the best eel ill ever have in my life.”
“One thing we noticed, the more touristy or closer it is to a major train station, them more expensive it gets. When we walked 20 minutes away from a fewer touristy train stop, we came upon another spot that had less than 10 seats and definitely no English menu. We just pointed at a picture and got the bowl with a pickled extra. Longer prep, but I was licking the bowl at the end.”
“I just got back on Tuesday and tried it for the first time in Kyoto. I didn't care for it, too fishy for me and I picked a place that had a 3.6 rating on tabelog so I don't think I just got a bad one.”
