How to Warm Up Inexpensive Storebought Kabayaki Eel
Imported cheap eel turns sticky and hard if you just heat it up and isn't good at all. The usual way to heating readymade eel up are to use a steamer or a frying pan, but both methods take time and effort so I experimented with easier ways to do it. I used eel that cost around 700 yen each for all of my experiments.
Wipe the sauce off rather than washing it off Heat up the oven grill and adjust the heat so that it will lightly brown the surface of the fish. Be sure to start grilling skin side up first.
The key to a tender finish is to not let the no-skin side touch the flame. The skin will be be very crispy and the meat very soft. For 1 eel. Recipe by vegeful

Time-saving tips! Since you line the grilling with foil, it won't get dirty. Also, if you leave the eel on the tray it comes in when you wipe off the sauce you'll save yourself some more washing up.
