The healthiest of our marine Patagonia, cooked the old-fashioned way.
The golden conger eel is one of the three species of conger eel found in Chile and owes its colloquial name of ‘golden’ to the reddish colour of its belly, throat and lips. It is low in fat, has a delicate flavour and a firm texture. Its flesh is white.
In Puerto Natales, the golden conger eel is prepared as a stew, marinated, as medallions, fried, steamed, or baked and as an ingredient for other seafood preparations.
