About Anago

Anago, or saltwater eel, is a popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine, often enjoyed grilled or as a topping for sushi and rice bowls. Known for its tender texture and mildly sweet flavor, anago is typically prepared without the heavy seasoning often used on freshwater eel (unagi), making it a lighter option. Nutritionally, anago is a good source of protein, essential vitamins such as vitamin A, and minerals like phosphorus. It is relatively low in saturated fat compared to red meats, but the calorie count can rise depending on preparation methods, especially if glazed with sweet sauces or fried. Its omega-3 fatty acids contribute to heart and brain health, while aiding in reducing inflammation. When consumed in moderation and prepared in a health-conscious manner, anago can be a nutritious addition to your diet. However, as with all seafood, mercury levels should be considered.
