About Eel
Eel is a rich and flavorful seafood enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, particularly in Japanese, European, and Southeast Asian dishes. Known for its tender, slightly sweet meat, eel is often served grilled, smoked, or stewed and is a staple in dishes like sushi or unagi don. Nutritionally, eel is an excellent source of protein, healthy omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and essential minerals such as phosphorus and potassium. These nutrients support heart health, brain function, and strong bones. However, eel can be high in cholesterol and calories depending on the preparation method, especially when coated in sweet sauces or fried. Moderation and mindful preparation make eel a nutritious addition to a balanced diet. Always ensure eel is properly cooked or sourced from reputable suppliers to avoid toxins sometimes found in wild eels.
