Canned Roasted Eel w/ Fermented Black Beans | Canned Fish Files Ep. 99 

I love the high production value of this channel while also still feeling like something from early youtube. Immaculate vibes

Personally I would love to see more exotic cans featured on this channel very intriguing n entertaining!

Hello sardine man. I would like to dedicate this comment to the sardine community and the people who enjoy these delicious delicacies.

When that Zojirushi alarm went off, I thought it was mine.

Mr Fancy Pants with the Bowl and the Rice.

I get these all the time, super easy feed. Over rice with some brocolli on the side? Wonderful

Just a very small point: those are not fermented "black beans", as they are soya beans that turn dark during the fermentation process. Black beans are a different thing altogether.

Garick and Quark were the all time best ever characters in all of star wars.

As a Taiwanese, I appreciate the way you mixed the whole can with rice! That's the right way to eel!

This channel gave me the courage to try sardines for the first time. Went down to the supermarket and bought myself a can. They were delicious and my cat loves them too!

I eat these quite often. Love em

I’m a huge eel fan. Had some canned smoked eel from Italy once and I think about it a few times per year ever since.

I love these canned eels! They're so much fun.

Thank you sardine man, i have become obsessed with canned fish and you made me feel better

Woah, I just had this for lunch (over rice, with an egg)

I'm going to do ALL that and add some thinly sliced green onions ! Thanks MAtt

Your canned seafood reviews are excellent man. Keep up the good work. 🙂

Thumbs up for the Zojirushi song. Well done.

You should try Fried Dace with Fermented Black Beans over hot rice!

When you put the lipstick and eyelashes on the eel I was hooked!!! I must have watched it 50 times! Keep it up brother!!! ❤

I love this dish...I order it often when dinning at my favorite Japanese eatery

Bonito Power! That ingredient sounds very energetic.

Getting Eel at the sushi place is one of my favorite little treats, great "fish" lol

Add some good sunflower oil to that spice jar and get all that crummy goodness from the bottom.

yeah, I just had that about a month ago. Warmed it up in a water bath, and served it with some basic rice. Came out yummy.

That can is delicious. I remember having them as an extra dish at meals and there was never leftover 😁

Great video Matt! I'm hoping the next video is special for #100 ! I can't believe it!

Wow, you finally picked the bowl up! That’s the only way to go.🍚

I have just have joined to the sardine life and King Oscars are a freaking treat. I had no clue how good a tinned fish could be. What an absolute gem of a food.

I've had these black bean eels quite a few times (was inspired by your Japanese sardines in soy sauce ep.) You described the texture perfectly. I really like the sauce on rice as well.

This is great - this is the one I was looking to buy.

Yeah please make a video of that stuff that you added because I've never heard of it and I'd probably like to try it

Looks good!!!

I love the flavor of fermented black beans. Haven't watched this yet, but I hope you enjoy it. I love making steamed fish with ginger and fermented black beans. So light and delicious.

With this product and also the bigger cans of dace with black beans I think breaking them up small and making fried rice with them is the way to go. On top of plain steamed rice is almost as good.

My favorite sushi rolls have eel. I'm intrigued to try this myself!!

Never seen canned eel before!

The ingredients make me think that it's gonna be similar to canned fried dace, which is great! I'm gonna keep an eye out for this.

These are literally my favorite, i've never seen anyone else talk about them

TAIWAN #1

Hi Matt. Thank you for another great video. I'm on the fence about the eel. :)

I have been looking for these ever since atomic shrimp had them on weird stuff in a can, and he loved them. Wouldnt you know literally a day after this video i go to a chinese grocery store ive never been to before(they only ever have frozen roasted eel at my grocery store) and boom! it was there in all its glory! i got 2 packs of spicy sauce one, and 2 packs of the old fisherman chili(they only had fermented soybean and not fermented soybean and chili, and im not the biggest fan of that flavor profile when its the star)

For an over head center view shot. Put a X, better yet a photo of a eyeball on your desk.

This looks good.

I had the teriyaki one, never had this one. Very tasty!

i would love to see you try the old fisherman roasted squid one day! it was the first asian tinned fish i had before trying the eel ones and it was really good! i'm trying to make my local asian store put it back in stock because they used to have the roast squid but now they only have the eels.

I've had the Japanese version of this and I love it. On top of rice is definitely the way to go.

I gonna try some of these. I see them in the Chinese store all the time but never bought one.

Cow…….ah……..bunga! My new favourite exclamation. So so sick of hearing people say Oh….my….gawd! For every little thing . This saying should go viral!

the eel with black bean is excellent when mixed with rice and i like to top with a sunny side egg, i also liked the black pepper sauce version, the chilli version had signficantly tougher bones and that one was my least favorite

MY 4TH FAVORITE CANNED FISH RU-vidR

I had some blue mackerel in tomato sauce from this brand today and it was alright. Nothing special, but not bad!

I've had this in my IVAR for like a year and some change, staring at me.... MENACINGLY

You're supposed to heat it up in a skillet and reduce the sauce down until it's sticky then pour over rice and serve, delicious!

Been binging your videos once again and got me to pick up some of the jalapeno King Oscars, plus a can of Pampa giant calamari in garlic sauce, if you can get your hands on some you'd probably love 'em.

Man, id get these more if conger eel was more sustainable

"We're just gonna go. . . .nuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" 🥳

That looks delicious ❤

Digging the Bob Ross muzak at 6:08!

Some diced green onions would have been nice.

Yess!!!! I love these! They have them in teriyaki flavor too!

Would be interesting to see how you make your sticky rice.

Always rice. First time watching this channel, about four videos in, always thought, why no rice? Also thought: his hair game is consistently good. Searched on wal mart app and saw that one can is $14. I’d rather eat at a Japanese restaurant for the price to satisfy my craving.

“Conger” that’s really fun to say, “Conger Conger”.

Love this brand. This can specifically is delicious

Eel is so good roasted; I have not tried canned eel this will have to make it to my list….

oh yum....I love dou chi....I bet that's awesome.

I just picked up a tin of this at a local Asian market.

I've started adding canned eel to my ramen, man is it good

Ur fucking hilarious 😂 idk if it's a skid or it's just u but I love it

"Fuctose" What the fuctose!

I've never had eel and liked it, but I've only tried it as sushi. It's always felt fatty and gelatinous to the point of being highly unpleasant. I'm glad Matt had a different experience here.

Even though the texture sounds whack I'm all on board for canned eel

I've been wondering about these, I always see them in my local Asian markets

I got nervous when you busted out the rice but it actually looks very good.

Hey man are/were you in the Marines? A lot of things stand out in this video that made me ask. Love your content man you’re hilarious

Get a Korean spoon to go w yr chopsticks

These are good toasted up in the broiler.

Great video as always! And by the way - I love your music. It adds an interesting feel to the whole experience. Any chance you might give us a glimpse into your music production some day?

The only way that bowl of rice and Taiwanese tinned eel could have been better was if you washed it all down with a Tsingtao beer! Still pert' dang outstanding video flick presentation. Mahalo Matthew!

You got that MSG umami, what we even doing here 😮

I may have to start calling myself an UnagiDonBoy

aha aha yeah yeah water bean capsicum fennel pepper MSGEEEEEEEE

Maybe I'm just extra, but I always remove the spines from my canned eel lol. I can't stand how chunky the spine is, and its usually really easy if the eels are layed in a neat row.

I wonder.... what happens if you dump a can of that roasted eel in black bean sauce, into the rice cooker on top of the rice??? I think I need to try that experiment

Thanks for trying the eel!! Another fish conquered?

I probably would have chucked that sinewy stuff if I noticed it. He tucked it in with the meat and ate it with no reservations 😂

If you had to pick one can to get someone hooked what would it be?

Anise AND licorice powder? That's a bit of a witch's brew! I think they are over-egging the pudding there as those are pretty much the same flavour. The black beans were a surprise too as they are one of my top three condiments, but pretty strong on the palette and have to be used lightly so as not to overshadow the food they are added to. I dunno, Mateo - this might have to be purchased for an exploration.

your my appetizer,

*_"This is a dang meal!"_*

Horoscope girls be like: sorry I murdered you I'm a capsicum ♋ and you're a caprisun ♈ 🤷‍♂️

Part of that Eel looked like a Zeno morph.

Aye bruh ep 100 better be crazy😈

Put an omelet over the rise and then eel on top 😍😍

I was worried about a lack of spine action.

Yeah. Mmmhmmm

I had one called Conger eel and I am worried it makes me have an allergic reaction. Oh wait... It might be the same one but a different packaging... Old Fisherman... actually there was no black beans... That looks like a traditional clay pot dish... wait wait... is there bones? There was ALL BONES in the cans I bought. I am considering trying them again but I might be allergic to something in it. It's just crunchy with bones. Dang... I need to buy this one.

ohh cool i have that one in an oval case and i just ate tamago kake gohan w/ kabayaki saury 😈😈

Just dump the whole can into your rice cooker before making your rice, add a smidge more water, break up the eel a bit - that's the way to go.
