轻轻的一个蚊To put it mildly, the store is hidden away from the city, surrounded by barbecue stalls and restaurants with a smoky atmosphere. As soon as the door was opened, six or seven long tables were packed into the small room, facing the eel-roasting stove. The King of Eels has its own specialties since the eel fry. When I chatted with the seafood chef before, he told me that in fact, Chinese eels are no worse than Japanese eels. For a while, due to large-scale hunting of natural eels that Japan was proud of, they were almost extinct. , Secondly, China has a vast land and rich resources, and eels with good appearance can be cultivated from Shunde in Guangzhou to Qingdao in Shandong. Some people like the tenderness of small eels, while others like the fatness of large eels. These can be satisfied. In addition to excellent breeding, according to an interview with "FoodieMagic", Eel King's eel fry will also undergo a clean water culture to remove the earthy smell after being transported to Shanghai. The menu in the store has a wide range of choices, including both styles of eel rice, as well as regular eel dishes such as white eel and eel liver. The method of steaming first and then grilling is the Kanto style, which keeps the eel in a moist state, and the eel sauce and the gelatin-rich skin work together to give people a sticky feeling. After taking a spoonful, I saw the eels curled up on the rice. The deep red eel juice stained the white rice oil, which was attractive and moist. If there was a perfect description for this moment, I would say that eels are like moss growing on stones in a wet forest after a rain. It is soft and fine, seemingly weakly attached to the rice, but in fact the mouth is filled with charcoal fire, burnt aroma, and even the vitality of the ocean. It is water that nourishes the meat that melts in your mouth, and it is fire that forges the withered and lush texture.
