Considering that Eel is a (juicy, firm, and white-flesh) fish, it’s usually prepared in a soup or a braise. Grilling Eel adds a nice smokey element that makes it extremely umami. But no need to worry, I’ve provided a few traditional Japanese recipes from my friends at American Unagi.

Unlike any other, American Unagi eels are exclusively ethically sourced and sustainably raised in Maine. As a James Beard Smart Catch Leader, I highly recommend this product.

Eels are hot smoked using a traditional European recipe of oak and alderwood. The high natural fat content of our eels, paired with a salt brine and rich smoke flavor, creates a savory, delicate, and versatile product; comparable to smoked salmon, smoked trout, and smoked sturgeon.
