Not super weird. You're expecting a fishy taste, but it's like... hard to explain... fluffy chicken, but gritty, earthy taste... then the accompanying sauce comes in. Sometimes how it's cooked will hit you first, the slightly burnt flavour. It's nothing strange like out of this planet, but you're expecting something totally different when you try it.
Never tried smoked eel... Might have to see if I can find that sometime.
Unagi is awesome. Weird at first but you get used to it.
Well, next time I have the chance, I may just have to give it a shot. How weird? :)

Well, I'm certainly intrigued now. Too bad my wife hates fish, so we don't frequent establishments that serve sushi too often :)
My first experience with it was in a "caterpillar roll". Seriously one of the most delicious sushi rolls ever made!
Just the name "caterpillar roll"... doesn't sound so appealing. (I'm glad you enjoyed it, though)
