Lean white flesh with a mild, slightly earthy flavor; notable for Y-shaped pin bones that require careful filleting. Excellent in fish cakes, fried, or baked with herbs.

Species Overview

ヨーロッパウナギ

The European eel undertakes one of nature's most remarkable migrations, traveling 5,000 km from European rivers to the Sargasso Sea to spawn and die. Despite centuries of study, its breeding grounds were only recently confirmed.

Northern Pike

The northern pike is an apex predator of freshwater lakes and rivers across the Northern Hemisphere. With its elongated body, duck-bill snout, and razor-sharp teeth, it ambushes prey with explosive bursts of speed.
