About Sea eel

Sea eel, commonly known as unagi in Japanese cuisine, is a tender, flavorful fish frequently enjoyed grilled or served in sushi dishes. Renowned for its rich taste, sea eel is a nutrient-dense seafood packed with protein and essential vitamins such as A, D, E, and B12. It also contains healthy omega-3 fatty acids that support heart health, brain function, and inflammation reduction. Additionally, its potassium and calcium content contribute to bone and muscle strength. However, sea eel’s flavor is often enhanced with a sweet soy-based glaze, which may elevate sodium and sugar levels depending on preparation methods. Originating primarily from East and Southeast Asian cuisines, sea eel is a beloved ingredient that offers a balance of indulgent taste with nutritional benefits when enjoyed in moderation and prepared thoughtfully.
