These rare delicacies from Northern Spain are ultra frozen and packed in 100 gram vacuum sealed packages. These plump angulas have a grey back, and are not thin and dry like most you find canned on the market. These have a soft mild flavor and are not fishy at all.
Mature eels migrate from fresh water rivers to the sea to spawn. Their larvae then slowly travel back to their rivers of origin and in transit transform into elvers. Fishermen catch them at night, so imagine how difficult it is to do this.
Because they are so rare to find and are such a prized catch (specifically for the Japanese market) these Angulas are very expensive.Gone are the days when you saw tortillas made with Angulas. These are ideal for adding to fish dishes. We will also be receiving some canned angulas, although they are not as high quality as our frozen ones, they are more economical.
