What Is Swamp Eel (Monopterus albus)?
Swamp eel (Monopterus albus) is a long, snake-like freshwater fish of the family Synbranchidae, found throughout East and Southeast Asia in rivers, ponds and rice paddies — hence the names Asian swamp eel and rice field eel. It has firm, rich-flavored flesh that holds up well to longer cooking, making it a favorite in Asian stir-fries, braises, soups and hot pots. Baseafood supplies it as a cleaned fillet cut into convenient chunks, frozen for export. Note that swamp eel is a different fish from true eel (unagi / Anguilla), belonging to a separate family.
