CATDOLL: How to dry eels

1. How to dry eels

When drying eels, there are two types: the belly should be opened to extract the internal organs, or the belly should not be opened. They should be exposed to the sun, or they should be simply dried and then exposed to the sun. This question is quite professional.

The most representative way to eat eel is "Kabayaki". Different places have different cooking methods. In the Kanto region, the eel is cut from the back, slowly grilled over charcoal fire, steamed, and then grilled over medium heat while brushing with sauce. In Kansai, the eel is cut from the abdomen, the whole thing is put on a wooden skewer, dipped in sauce and grilled directly. Put the grilled eel on hot rice and pour sauce on it to make "Eel-topped rice" or "Eel-topped rice", which is popular in any season of the year.

2. Why do fishing boats release eels when sailing far away?

Eels are very active and like to move around, which makes the fish they catch also active and less likely to die.

If I remember correctly, catching tuna especially requires releasing eels.

3. What are the methods of catching fish?

What are the requirements for playback in different soil formats?

This is a typical interpretation of professionalism: persistence.

4. How to prepare fresh eel

How to handle eels: Ask the fishmonger to handle the eels and separate the meat and bones. When cleaning, place the eel meat in a basin, sprinkle flour evenly on the eel and scrub it to remove the mucus on its skin. Repeat this several times until it is clean.

(Strong smell?! Then braise it~)
