Oct 20, 2010 07:06 PM
Grilled eel served in a traditional Japanese bowl.

We know what you're thinking. Eels are long, creepy water snakes with slimy skin. Why the hell would you want to eat that?

Well, we're here to tell you that those who have not tried eel are missing out. When marinaded and sauteed in a tangy sugary and salty sauce, they taste tender and juicy.

Be brave and step out on a food limb by making this Sake-infused Hitsumabushi, or roasted eel.
