Freshwater Eel (Anguillidae) restaurant
I visited a place known as ‘Eel Town’, a must-try restaurant situated near the Starfield in Bucheon, South Korea. For all those interested, they open from 11:30 AM to 10:00 PM and can be contacted at +82 32 347 3535. The exact address is 102 Yangji-ro, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea.
Inside of Eel Town
Eel Town, on the ground floor of the building, generously offers free parking space on the second floor. It’s an added advantage for patrons like us who drove in. The restaurant also sports a spacious terrace, a perfect spot to unwind and relish a sweet dessert post-meal.
Stepping inside, you’ll be impressed by the spacious and neat interior, making it a perfect venue for family gatherings, group meetings, and company dinners. They offer both floor and table seating, so you can choose your preference to optimize comfort and convenience.
What caught my eye was their commitment to quality – 100% locally-sourced freshwater eel (Anguillidae). They further enhance its natural flavors by preparing it with over 30 different types of natural medicinal herbs.
The price of their signature Pungcheon eel is 59,000 KRW per kilogram. They handle all the food setup and offer an unlimited self-service bar for any additional side dishes you might fancy.
Nutritional information about Freshwater Eel
Did you know that freshwater eel contains over 80 times more Vitamin A compared to beef and seven times more Vitamin E? This makes eel an excellent food for beauty enhancement, cancer prevention, anti-aging, eyesight improvement, and antioxidants. The wholesome nutrition of eel makes it a perfect dish to share with your family, especially parents who need extra nourishment.
Immunity boosting foods for adults?
The restaurant also serves mushrooms and a refreshing bean sprout kimchi soup, both complementing the robust flavor of the eel, culminating in an epicurean climax.
Eels, asides from being deliciously unctuous, are incredibly nutritious. The various fats it contains, including unsaturated fatty acids, are mostly beneficial for our health, especially for maintaining cardiovascular health. Plus, it aids in keeping the stomach healthy and can help alleviate stomach discomfort.
