Baked Eel

This dish often has a lot people hesitating when they hear what it is, but it’s credible that once they’re tried it all the hesitations they had toward this dish usually diffuses. Sometimes, my grandma will tell people it’s chicken just to get them to try it at first. Keep in mind that eel needs to be marinated for about 3 hour before you place in the oven in other to get that rich flavor.
