Product Details
Our Taiwan Eels are delivered fresh in a 5 lb box, providing premium quality and authentic Asian-style seafood. Before shipping, each eel is humanely dispatched, cleaned, and gutted, making preparation fast and effortless. These eels are prized for their rich flavor, firm texture, and versatility—perfect for grilling, smoking, braising, or preparing traditional dishes like unagi, eel soup, or clay pot eel.
Freshness & Shipping
Before packing, each eel is humanely dispatched, then cleaned and gutted for your convenience. This ensures maximum freshness during transit and makes preparation fast and effortless upon arrival.
All orders are sent via overnight delivery with cold packs to maintain optimal temperature. Please refrigerate immediately upon arrival and cook as soon as possible for best results.
Size & Weight
Each box includes 5 lbs of fresh, cleaned Taiwan eels. Weight may vary slightly depending on harvest, but the average box contains 4–8 eels, depending on their size. All eels are cleaned and gutted, making the actual usable meat portion higher and easier to prepare at home.
How to Cook
Live Taiwan Eels are incredibly versatile and work beautifully in Asian and Western seafood dishes. Popular methods include:
Grilled unagi-style with sweet soy glaze
Braised in clay pot with ginger and garlic
Smoked for a rich, buttery finish
Stir-fried with vegetables and soy
Steamed with scallions and sesame oil
Added to soups for a deep, savory broth
Because the eels arrive cleaned, you save significant prep time and can start cooking immediately.
