eel roll

Slippery fish maki

An eel roll is a type of sushi roll featuring unagi—freshwater eel that has been grilled and glazed with a sweet soy-based sauce.

The preparation typically includes rice wrapped in seaweed, with the caramelized eel on top or inside: I'll have the eel roll and a spicy tuna.
