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 a British eel.
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. Serve with crusty bread and Bradley’s own recipe chili vinegar which, for a real taste of the London experience.
We normally sell these fresh but occasionally they may arrive frozen, just remove the lid and microwave on full power for 6-8 minutes, or until they have reached boiling point leave to set in the fridge for 4 hours, eat within 48 hours
