Wild Shad Roe

This is a Fisherman’s Request item.*Exotic, perhaps. Unique, for sure. However you describe it, you’ll find the rich and succulent flavor of eel to be mildly sweet with a hint of earthiness that’s a treat to savor. As for texture, that depends on how you cook it. Deep frying makes the meat crisp and crunchy. Poaching and stewing yield a softer texture. When broiled or grilled, it’s tender but provides a satisfying chew – somewhat like octopus. Excellent pairings include roasted vegetables and mushrooms, their depth of flavor enhancing the savory notes of the fish. Eel is a must-try for those seeking new culinary experiences, and you’ll enjoy an amazingly delicious dish to boot!*This item is based on what’s in the catch of the day. If unavailable, we can help.
