That's a good note! What else is typically cooked? There's something fried in stuff like a dragon phoenix roll, right? Or does that even count as actual sushi?
Start talking rolls and it all goes out the window - you can throw anything in a roll and tempura (fried stuff) is common. Somewhere, there is a sushi restaurant featuring a Goatfury roll. But for Nigiri - the traditional slice of fish over rice - shrimp also gets cooked (understandable) and there is an egg nigiri that is also cooked (like a tiny baby omelette)
All I really know about eels is that 1) British people eat them in pies and 2) some are "electric" in nature. Would it be the American eels who are electric, or the European ones?
In the video, the band is floating upward, kind of like a bunch of eels making whoopee in the middle of the sea. I just thought the visuals of the Eels video matched up with that particular event.
It's not quite Turtlepalooza, but eel allow it!
Are eels popular cuisine anywhere you've lived or visited? I've never been interested in trying them.
I haven't ever had the urge to try a whole eel, so I haven't really looked into it. But I'm reasonably sure that I must've had eel in sushi before.
Oh, good point- I have as well. It was probably marinated in some kind of barbecue sauce, so it was kind of sweet, I think. Unagi?
Fun fact about eel sushi is that it's one of the only bits that is cooked, not raw

Yup, that sounds about right!

That technique at the end was rough.
Maybe you should have taught them something about self-defense. Went great for the first guy!

actually, neither! This is a pretty narrow study on eels. Electric eels are usually in South America, so they don't make this trek.
Ah- that explains it....
Great story.
Imagine swimming thousands of miles for a crazy party where you die at the end! Pretty wild stuff.

Floating like eels in the Sargasso Sea!
Is this a reference to something?

Haha, got it! ;-)
