Deep Fried Eel
Did not like it Gaungzhou
I didn’t even eat this, but I’m giving it a thumbs down anyway. I don’t like eel sauce. I don’t like eel in my sushi, and I definitely don’t like deep-fried eel with its head and all. But surprisingly, Brad did like it, and he ate it.
✨ More info
Deep-fried eel is a Cantonese specialty where freshwater or swamp eel is dredged and fried until crisp, frequently served whole with the head and spine intact. It is commonly seasoned with spiced salt and pepper or tossed with aromatics like garlic and scallions.
What To Know: When made with smaller swamp eels and fried thoroughly, the bones and head become brittle and crunchy, making the entire fish edible.
