Fillet
Eel fillet is the boneless side cut from the frame—everyday pan, grill and bake portion. Thickness tapers toward the tail. Pin-bone, pat dry, cook just opaque. Skin on or off is preference. Save frames for stock. Pairs with lemon, butter, herbs, oil, gentle spice. Even thickness matters more than elaborate marinades for consistent doneness.
