Author is an idiot. I thought that everyone knew eels were easily caught by the pilgrims. We have eel every thanksgiving as part of the tradition.

I can't get past that awful shrieking.

Mmmmm. Eel.



/goddamn, I love that stuff

Do you want to come back to my place, bouncy bouncy?

/if it eels good, do it

I am laughing so hard at that headline subby. Well done

Farkin' Pilgrims...

No. I'm English and even I hate that stuff.

Me too. I'm always surprised when I hear people have never tried it. People usually are happy I annoyed them into trying it!

So...you know what that sound is your Highness.

MAN I love me some unagi and anago...never had it "British-style"...

Try Tofurky. It's quite tasty.

And oysters. Don't forget oysters. Oysters the size of dinner plates.

Boiled until gray and dipped in salt and fried then stuffed with sheep innards.

Fark you... now I have to go to my local sushi bar and have some unagi

Hard to stifle the urge to gsniggle all of a sudden....

Try turkey and gravy. And more gravy. Tell me which tastes more better.

Along with the aforementioned eel as a component of sushi, look for a fish called "King Klip" at your local fishmonger. It's actually eel and is nearly indistinguishable from grouper at half the price. Great stuff!



_{btw...great headline, Sub!}

Don't forget the traditional conger line.

What an annoying video.

Also, who the hell doesn't like turkey? Hell, I think bacon is a joke and even I like turkey.

You have to prepare the Tofurky properly. I like it.

I believe you and I'm sure I'd eat it and probably enjoy it. Just not this week. or when given the choice between them.

Deep-fried?

Everything is better deep-fried.

Deep-fried food on a stick. Who cares what it is as long as it's not people?

Eel is my favourite sushi-sashimi. Ironically, it is cooked. Just be sure to buy Canadian rather than Chinese eel, so the heavy metals don't kill you.

/grabs note pad

1. Get eel (freshwater stream, ocean, whatever).
2. Clean/gut eel
3. Use offal/ eel meat as pig feed
4. Go to sushi joint in town for some unagi

brantgoose: Deep-fried?

except butter. deep-fried butter is an abomination.

Approves.

If it's cooked, it ain't sashimi.

Love me some unagi, though. And eel without the rice.

Bwah, bwah, bwah.

Unagi is the staple for me. That and saba. I think I have both each time I order sushi. But more than anything, that friggin eel sauce is ridiculously yummy. It likely could make anything tasty. And it is probably something simple or whatever, but dagnabit is good.

Bloody price of the delicious stuff went stupid this year; it nearly doubled from 800円 for a full filet, to around 1500円. And that's for the farmed Chinese stuff.

My habit's expensive enough already.

I went to a ridiculously expensive, fairly exclusive sushi restaurant a while back, and my super rich auntie insisted on picking up the bill in advance. She begged me to try some eel. Like a good nephew, I tried some. I managed to get down 2 pieces, fighting the urge to hork the entire time. She still thinks I loved every bite. The smell/taste/texture was absolutely horrid, and I know that that was likely the best sushi restaurant on the continental United States so it can only get worse.

Different strokes for different folks.

Fark eel. Eel is nasty. First time I ate eel I nearly vomited. And every time I've talked about how horrible eel is since, there's always someone who says, "No, eel is great! you just had BAD eel. I know this GREAT restaurant that really does eel well...." So like an idiot I go give it another try and it's horrendous. Again.

It's had its chance and then some. Never again.

You would be remarkable surprised what even "exclusive" (usually Chinese-run, in my experience) Japanese restaurants outside of Japan will try to pawn off on people who don't know any better.

Ever had uni? Sea urchin roe. I tried it several times at various nice restaurants in Canada, and had the same reaction: nausea. I choked it down out of politeness. Then I came to Japan, and had some absurdly fresh uni and finally came to understand why it's so expensive.

Give it another chance.

Your profile indicates that you travel a lot. Try it at a good place in Japan, if you should happen to come.

There's also a 白焼き ("white/plain roasted") type of preparation without the sauce as well. It too is excellent; the flavour is very delicate. I've never seen it outside of Japan, though.

Does not approve

The first hit I get on Google gives:

材料
濃い口醤油： 350cc
みりん：300ｃｃ
さとう：250g
酒：100cc
手に入れば、鰻の頭や骨適量

- Thick soy sauce
- Mirin
- Sugar
- Sake
- Eel head and bones to taste

It's basically just a strained, 20-minute reduction of that.

Ya'll a bunch of penisfish eating freaks.

Well, of course there will be eels.

The Bass are going to be sluggish and nothing gets them up and moving quite like eels.
