Did you know? Ireland produces over 700 tonnes of wild eels a year! This considerable production has earned him a solid reputation for the quality of his livestock!
Irish eels are highly prized for their freshness, their tender yet firm flesh, and their nutritional qualities! Irish eels usually migrate from the Sargasso Sea in the North Atlantic as elvers to Lough Neagh, a major Irish river, where they are raised in an environmentally friendly way.
As a result, eels from Lough Neagh have been awarded the European Union’s Protected Geographical Indication label. A label that guarantees product quality and natural freshness!
The Irish usually eat them fried or baked. Its flesh has a slightly iodized taste, making it a delicacy of choice! A must-see for the brave!
