Gotta love New England weather to live here.. or we'd all move to Florida,
or Arizona. Sledding is cool, my three year old loves it.

I've got many Asian markets in and around Boston. Sorry to hear you don't
have anything close by. I just picked up a bottle of Unagi Kabayaki no Tare,
eel sauce. I have a frozen eel filet in my freezer. I think you'll get better
results from buying frozen filets and sauce in the mail as opposed to canned.

I don't really like the canned as much. I've found two different types of frozen
filets, one I like more than the other. The Japanese brand is more expensive,
but a better flavor. The Chinese brand has a slight muddy taste, still ok though.
you should be able to order this online as well. Ask a local sushi chef where
you can eel. That might help.
