Eel Fillet

Product Overview

Harvested from freshly killed live eels, these premium cuts feature thick, firm flesh with a delicate pearly pink-white colour. Long prized as the “ginseng of the water”, eel is naturally rich in collagen, vitamin A and vitamin E.

Each piece is professionally skinned and deboned, then cut into neat, uniform strips — no extra cleaning or preparation required. A high-grade ingredient for Japanese kitchens and festive home dining alike.
