Marinated and Roasted Unagi (1 piece)

Unagi, freshwater eel, is a true delicacy in Japan, where it's traditionally eaten on the hottest days of summer. This fillet is prepared kabayaki-style: grilled so the excess fat renders away, then glazed with a sweet soy-based sauce until beautifully caramelised. It arrives already cooked and sauced, so all you need to do is warm it through.

Each pack contains 1 fillet.

How to serve

Defrost in the fridge, then warm under a hot grill for 3 to 4 minutes, in the oven at 180°C for 8 to 10 minutes, or briefly in the microwave, until piping hot. Brush with a little extra unagi sauce for a glossy finish. Serve sliced over steamed rice for unadon, the classic eel rice bowl, or use in sushi rolls and nigiri.
