Product Information
- Eels taste really good. The texture of the meat is soft yet firm, has a nice chew on it, and it doesn’t have that fishy aftertaste. Although saltwater eels have thicker skins and tougher meat than fresh water ones, both still taste good.
- Some might say that eel meat tastes a little bland, but it is not. The taste is just light, somehow like the taste of squid meat, only a with a pinch of sweetness. The best thing I like about eel meat is how absorbent it is with sauces and seasoning.
- It probably depends on the way eels are cooked that people are using meat textures as references as to what eels taste like. Some people who are fond of exotic food say that it taste like snakes and frogs. Some people that don’t have anything to compare it to say that it tastes like chicken.
- One of the closest comparisons is salmon, not smoked salmon but raw one. Personally, the best meat that comes close to an eel’s for me is catfish meat.
