If you had to name one staple food of the East End of London, it would no doubt be jellied eels. Jellied eels and London have a history that is hundreds of years old, going back to the times when the eel population was thriving in the River Thames. Today, despite the eels disappearing from the river, a handful of local merchants remain. One of these is Barneys, an East End institution, run by Mark Button, by his father Eddie before him - Mark’s son has even gotten involved. Despite the challenges, Mark believes that jellied eels are far from being on the verge of disappearing.

I was surprised to eat eels in London! I often eat eels in Japan. But I like beef and sushi.

Most people are put off by the eel's body length, but it's NOT related to snakes at all, it's a FISH and really delicious. Also super high in omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals of every sort.

I tried it when I was studying in Uk. To be honest, it does not look appetising for me. But when I tasted it, it was surprising good. 9 years from that experience now and I still missed it. I would certainly recommend one to try it when they travel to UK.

Does anyone know if Jellied Eels can be made with saltwater eels? I’ve been trying to make this dish at home, and there’s a market near me that sells saltwater eels, though some of the recipes I’ve found online call for freshwater eels. Just curious.

I'm sure you could probably do it gelatin is basically made from collagen from Bones and connective tissue melting down lots of animals can be made into gelatin

@allenchildress6861 These are silver eels that are born in the sea, come into rivers as elvers, spend most of their life in fresh water and return to the sea to breed and die. Conger eels found in the sea are traditionally made into soup, but can be cooked in other ways. I would have thought that most conger eels would be too big to turn into jellied eels. The moray eel found in tropical waters is eaten by the Japanese as a delicacy.

Coming as I do from Southend-on-Sea which is further along eastwards on the Thames estuary coast (although not there now, alas), I can tell you these are really delicious, and I miss terribly having access to buy them. I prefer to eat mine with a little bit of brown (malt) vinegar and ground white pepper (but not black pepper).
