    This recipe for stewed eels is a classic from East London. Have you ever tried eel dishes? The UK seems to be losing eel recipes, which is unfortunate. For those of you who are nostalgic, here is the recipe for the best stewed eel. This classic British dish of jellied eels or stewed eels may be one of the country's favourites. It is highly recommended that you try eating eel meat if you have never done so. Something is fascinating about these creatures, and they taste great as well. It has a chewy, gelatinous skin and a firm, succulent white meat.
