This variety of eel has a slightly tapered shape from its pectoral fins to its mouth with a bluish hue on its back. These blue-tinted, slender-mouth eels have thick, tender flesh that is rich with fat, melting deliciously in your mouth with every bite. Experience a natural delicacy like no other with wild eel from this pristine region.
