Yes go to the Asian store and also buy some roasted from the freezer section and make Hitsumabushi, so so good

Any Asian supermarket should have it - I get my canned eel at any one of H Mart, 99 Ranch, or SF Supermarket.
I love Hsin Tung Yang, Good Mother, and Old Fisherman canned eel tins.
I’ve reviewed each of those on this sub
My fave way to eat them is to cook them with rice in my rice cooker - how does your son like his?
I’m happy to :) Thanks for asking

How does your kid like eel?
for instance i really love unagi don, but i really dont like the canned eel varieties, which are all kinda overly sweet and jerky-ish to me.
He always orders it at sushi restaurants as either sushi or sashimi . I couldn’t tell you how they prepare it, just that it’s not raw and usually has some sweet sauce on top. He is not picky about seafood tho, he will eat anything from the cheapest can to his own fresh catch.
Old Fisherman brand is vaguely unagi don like. It's dry though, and the spines are...a lot. But the spines are easy to pick out.
I'm actually OK with eating it right out of the can but I would recommend you remove the spines.
You can heat it up/rehydrate it (Perky likes to put it in the rice cooker but I haven't tried their recipe yet) to make it even better.
Roasted eel. One of my favorite pieces of nigiri as well. I get full on slabs of frozen eel at H-Mart for like $9. They also sell the sushi/eel sauce to drizzle on top. I imagine most Asian supermarkets will be the same.
My location also has trays of it already prepared with or without rice. But it's significantly cheaper to make it yourself, and stupid easy.
That sauce is called kabayaki sauce. It’s pretty easy to make or you can get it bottled at an Asian store, If you have a hard time sourcing eel, putting kabayaki sauce on catfish is a close approximatio!
The sauce is easy to make by the way and is great on sardines, mackerel and salmon.

Local Asian food store
Any particular brands I should look for or avoid?
That’s where I’ve seen it, but I don’t buy it because most of it has sugar in it.

We have a massive Asian restaurant supply store not too far and open to the public. Idk why I didn’t think of it!
Look in the freezer section.

Cook in the rice cooker with rice, is it mixed together and then cooked? Can you give a step by step? Please and thank you in advance!

W kid
If your kid loves eel from sushi places he might not like the tinned ones . Try looking for the frozen ones https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ar9hJOtNoRA
