Eel can arrive surrounded by jelly
Jellied eels are a traditional London dish in which cooked pieces of eel are cooled in their liquid. Components released during cooking help it set into jelly. The same fish can lead to a very different-looking plate in another food tradition.
An eel dish need not arrive grilled or hot.
