Introduction : The Dutch Eel Company have been in the eel trade for more than 18 years in England using their lorry to buy eels from all over England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Holland. They are the only eel merchant based in the UK and import 3 to 4 tons of eels every week and are covered by a health certificate from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in Holland.

further details,

The Dutch Eel Company Limited can also fish for eels and clear out lakes on request, but their main business is the trade of live eels (3 to 4 tons each week) and the smoking of eels (about 500 kilo each week)

They are specialists in smoking eels, as eels are famous in Holland and classed as a delicacy - therefore they do not smoke any other fish but concentrate only on eels and as such, the quality of the eels is excellent.

Because the Dutch Eel Company Limited only trade in live eels they've got the best choice in terms of quality.

In Spring 2003 The Dutch Eel Company took over the business of Beales Eels.

Unfortunately Mr. Beales (who was one of The Dutch Eel Company's customers for live eels) had a stroke. He commanded the market in London with his smoked eels and was very impressed with their product. As a result, Mr. Beales decided to pass his market on to The Dutch Eel Company Ltd.

If you would like to know more about smoked eels, please see do not hesitate to contact Corine Rozendaal for more information - from the reaction of chef's using the eels, they are obviously of very high quality.
