Eel, Raw

EverydayRaw

Raw eel, often referred to as 'unagi' or 'anago' depending on the species, is a popular ingredient in Japanese cuisine, particularly in sushi and sashimi. It offers a rich, slightly sweet flavor and a tender, fatty texture. Raw eel is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin B12; however, it is crucial to ensure it is sourced and prepared by experienced professionals to mitigate any potential health risks associated with consuming raw seafood.
