Early Morning Gourmet Activity Log July 12, 2025 02

Well, when it comes to delicious fish in the summer, we're talking about long, slender fish like eel, conger eel, and pike conger.

Thinking about that, I suddenly got a craving for deep-fried conger eel.

Searching my brain for a place that serves deep-fried conger eel... Ding! 💡

I headed to the Ota Market for the first time in a while. It's this shop in the related building.

It's Sanyo Shokudo. They specialize in seafood (mainly tuna) sashimi and deep-fried dishes.

It's a shop visited by many tourists as well as market staff.

It's the "Deep-fried conger eel & tuna sashimi set meal".

First off, I'm overwhelmed by the size of the conger eel lol.

By my estimation, it's over 30cm long.

Conversely, the tuna sashimi portion is a bit small lol.

When I break the meat of the deep-fried conger eel with my chopsticks, the crispiness of the batter and the fluffiness of the inside travel from the chopsticks to my fingertips.

First, a bite with tartar sauce...

So good!

The crispy-fluffy texture is just amazing!

The deliciousness makes the tuna sashimi pale in comparison

Despite such a large volume, it was delicious without feeling the heaviness of the oil👍️

I enjoyed the summer conger eel again this year!
