What is the reason we don’t eat eel as sashimi?
Let’s think simply! Here’s a trivia quiz: Why don’t we eat eel as sashimi? While there are many kinds of fish served as sashimi, eel is never offered that way.
The answer is: because eel blood contains toxic substances.
Eel blood has a toxin called ichthyotoxin (ichthyohemotoxin), which can cause symptoms like nausea and abdominal pain if ingested.
That’s why eel should always be cooked thoroughly before you enjoy it.

The answer is their whiskers: the long, sturdy hairs not only on the sides of their faces but also above their eyes, which are said to detect changes in air temperature and airflow.

Yet, because it was built in an era without modern heavy machinery, its construction methods remain shrouded in many mysteries.
