A 100g vacuum pack of hot-smoked silver eel fillets — winner of a Great Taste Gold 3-Star Award (2012) and named one of the UK’s Top 50 Foods. Mature silver eels selected from sustainable sources, hot-smoked over oak to draw out a delicate, sweet smoky flavour with a firm, oily-rich texture. A serious gourmet centrepiece for canapés and starters, and surprisingly affordable per serving — a little of this goes a very long way.

How to serve smoked eel
Hot-smoked eel is ready to eat straight from the pack — no cooking required, just slice and serve at room temperature. The flavour is similar to smoked salmon but cleaner and less fishy, with the depth of an oily-rich fish like mackerel.
- Canapés: on toasted brioche or rye with crème fraîche, dill and a squeeze of lemon — a classic Theo Randall-style starter.
- Pâté: blend with crème fraîche, lemon zest and black pepper; serve with sourdough toast.
- Plated starter: with grated horseradish, beetroot and a drizzle of good olive oil — the smokiness offsets the earthy sweetness beautifully.
- Brunch: on toasted sourdough with poached eggs and hollandaise, or scrambled eggs and chives.
- Wine pairing: a Californian Chardonnay or French Chablis cuts the richness perfectly.
