Gulf of Maine Conservas Smoked American Eel in Olive Oil

Not all tins are created equal, and while you may have seen cheap eel tins at your local Asian specialty market, the meat is often tough and not flavorful, and you could certainly spend a lifetime trying to find where it was caught.

Keper Connell has become one of our favorite sources of tinned fish of late, he catches his own Bluefin Tuna that remains one of the best tins we’ve ever had. This American Eel is sourced from the exceptional sustainable American Unagi farm before it is smoked over Alderwood and packed in high quality Californian Olive Oil. Truly a transcendent treat for the seafood lover in your life.

It is, of course, perfect served simply over rice, or mixed in with Bibimbap, or even as a substitute where you’d put bacon in a pasta salad or, as Keper suggests, in a B.L.T. - therefore -an E.L.T.
