Yum! I'd never tried eel before but picked up a frozen packet of eel pieces from an asian supermarket today. The crispness of the skin and the tasty sauce worked really well together. I think it would also work well with a few other vegetables, such as baby corn, bell peppers, thin carrot slices and the like thrown in as well.
