Long held as a Japanese traditional food our wild caught fresh water eel is prized for its bold yet sweet tasting meat and firm texture. 

It is best served broiled along with a sweet soy sauce reduction. Rich in Vitamin A (an anti aging vitamin), DHA as well as iron and calcium this is an excellent lean protein choice for the fish lover.

Our client, Master Chef Yoshi from Jewel Bako in New York City uses our fresh water eel on his Michelin starred menu.
