The invention belongs to the field of
food processing, and particularly relates to a method for
processing eels. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, breeding eels with empty
stomach forat least 24 hours so as to clean eel intestines; secondly, keeping the eels unconscious with
ice water so as to reduce activity; thirdly, killing the eels, removing bones and viscera so as to form eel slices, and
cutting fish meat along the length direction of eel meat surface, wherein
cutting depth is only less than that of fish meat part so as to guarantee the integrity of
fish skin; fourthly,flush the eel slices with clear water; fifthly,
punching the eel slices, rolling and massaging the punched eel slices with a rubber bar, then placing the rolled eel slices into a filter screen frame,and conducting
filtration; and sixthly, conducting baking, firstly putting
skin surface upwards and meat surface downwards, baking the slices by
infrared rays positioned above the eels, then turning over the eel slices, and also baking the meat surface by the
infrared ray. Eel slices with different specifications are selected according to different weight sizes, and then the eel slices are packaged according to the specifications. Through the combination of the process steps, the eel slices with good presentation, high yield, good flavoring by baking and good fishy smell removal can be obtained.
