Eel Recipes
Does anyone have any recipes for cooking eels?
I generally smoke them in my homemade smoker and they are fantastic!
I was just curious to see what other options i have as far as cooking them goes.
Cheers

Re: Eel Recipes
Fillet them and grill, Japanese unagi style. Yum.
You just put them in the grill and coat with sauce every few minutes with a brush. Turn them over, coat with sauce. Do this about 3 times each side, until cooked. Cooking time varies, depends on how big your eel is.
The sauce is a mixture of rice wine, soy sauce, sugar (or malt, the stuff that kind of looks like honey). Approx 1:1 wine to soy sauce ratio, and about 2:1 wine to sugar ratio.

Re: Eel Recipes
My question is which Eels are good eating and would you eat them out of the Yarra if it was from Bulleen or further away from the city? I have caught many Eels but never cooked or eaten any of them.

Re: Eel Recipes
I catch mine in the yarra around Eltham/Warrandyte, tastes fine. No muddy taste at all when you cook it unagi style.

Re: Eel Recipes
Best eels ive ever had are from sugarloaf, after gutting them and skinning them i cut them into 5cm bits roll them in flower with salt and pepper then shallow fry it. Good breakfast with field mushrooms and fried tomatos. As a kid mum would do jelly eel but i was never a fan of it.

Re: Eel Recipes
cut them up in 2-3cm thick slices and lay them on a tray slice up 2 onions and sprinkle over and dice up some tomatoe and drizzle cream over and straight in the oven for a good bake. Serve with bread or boiled potatoes. Delish!
