Side by Sides: Cheap Chinese Eel and High End American Eel

This special recipe version of Old Fisherman Roasted Eel won the Gold Medal at the National Food Tasting Association.

Mix your tinned eel into a bowl of rice and top with freshly sliced scallions and a bit of Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp and you'll be hooked.

100g (3.5 oz) tin

You know how the cans of eel you can get at Asian markets are tough and gnarly and almost candied? That's not what this is. At all. This is like if lox were thick-cut bacon.  An astoundingly good tin of fish. We are positively gobsmacked. Knocked out. Wowed.

6 oz tin.
