Delicate open omelette with flakes of smoky eel and herbs.

Tip: The eel is quite powerful, so it's a great choice if you like bold, smoky flavors. Best enjoyed with a glass of crisp sherry.

Plancha-cooked lemon sole layered with leek-smoked eel gratin and courgette medallions.

Smoked eel served with roasted beetroot and fresh horseradish cream.

Clerkenwell·$$$

Fresh eel in tarragon-creamed sauce, encased in suet pastry.

Tip: If you're skeptical of eel, this is the dish to try — the meat is delicate, not fishy, and the tarragon sauce makes it approachable.
