Sunchang Meju-fed Korean Eel 메주먹인 순창 장어 is a Japonica freshwater eel that thrives in the pristine region of Sunchang, Korea.
Our eel is cultivated in a fishery located in the clean surroundings of the Seomjin River, where it is nourished with nutritious Meju (a protein-rich fermented soybean block). The fishery holds HACCP certification from Jeollabuk-do, ensuring regular water quality tests every six months.
This freshwater eel undergoes meticulous processing for hygiene, ensuring it is easy to grill and enjoy. It stands out for its absence of a fishy odor, its leanness and savory taste, and its chewy texture attributed to its high activity level.
In the market, you'll find various freshwater eels, including Japonica (Korean native species), Bicolra, and Malmorata (foreign species). The price discrepancy between Japonica babyfish and Bicolra Malmorata babyfish is a staggering 80 times, establishing Japonica eel as the superior choice. Indulge in the freshness and high quality of Sunchang Meju-fed freshwater eel.
