Hubei spicy eel

Hubei spicy eel
I will only take some photos of this dish. I am worried that some comrades will collapse after watching it. I had this dish before on a business trip in Yicheng, Hubei Province. At first, people were worried that I wouldn't eat it. Alas, I have eaten too much snake meat since I was a child. What's so scary about little eels? Legend has it that this dish was named after Wu Zixu.



This thing is also sold on Taobao, but I was worried that they would not use eel cleanly, so I never bought it. Eating eel has been a little addicted recently, so I started making this dish. It may not be particularly authentic. Give me guidance if you have the skills.



The practice is very simple, the key is eating and having skills.

    The eel is close to the belly and has a small opening behind the gills. If you gently tear it apart from here, the eel becomes two. One back can be eaten directly, and the other stomach can be eaten directly. The outside is hard and black, like duck blood, and it can be eaten; the inside is soft internal organs and throw them away.
