Hi,

I recently bought two eels, froze one, and gutted and cooked the
other. The one that I froze had not been gutted, and where I bought
them from I had asked for frozen eel but they said this was fresh and
could be frozen, but did not mention having to gut them first.

I've read that if an eel is not gutted and then frozen, the white
flesh will be discoloured by blood. Will this affect the taste all
that much? Is it still fit for consumption?

Thanks,

Richy
