Jellied Eels are a traditional English dish that originated in London’s East End in the eighteenth century and was sold through numerous eel, pie, and mash houses. The European Eel was common in the Thames at the time and the eel became a staple food for London’s less well-off population.
We’ve been dealing with eels since 1946! So we know them inside out. We offer you sustainable eels caught in Canada, known as Anguilla Rostrata. These whole eels are wild-caught in Canadian waters. Eels are a delicacy across the world because they taste amazing!
Eels are low in fat, so they are considered healthy food. They are high in protein. This makes them a great option for those who have to watch their weight! Eels are also low in cholesterol which is good for the heart. The liver of the eel contains a lot of Vitamin A and essential amino acids. In Asia, there’s a belief in eating eels to retain youthfulness.
A dish of Jellied Eels consists of chopped eels that have been boiled in a spiced stock and allowed to cool and set. A bowl has around 13 servings of five pieces of Eel. Serve with crusty bread and Bradley’s own recipe chili vinegar which is £1.50, for a real taste of the London experience.
