What are gulas?
The eels are the substitute for the eel itself, which is made from surimi.
For those who do not know what surimi is or also known as crab sticks, it is a Japanese invention with thousands of years, which comes from the practice of Japanese fishermen to exploit the remains of fish or species with little commercial outlet to make the gulas. Or formerly known as ‘’ kamaboko ’’.
Despite being the leftovers of the fish, we have to add a point in their favor and that is that they provide a large amount of proteins, especially those of high biological value.
Without a doubt, it is a very rich food if you know how to combine it. As is the case with the product that Gastronomic Spain offers you: the already prepared scrambled eggs with baby eels and cambas and garlic shoots.

Elvers is the baby eel. It is the only fry fish allowed to be caught by law. It is usually fished when it is only 1 gram in weight and its measure is less than 8 centimeters long.
It is a Spanish product linked to luxury and exclusivity, because being a complicated fishing makes its price rise a lot. Approximately a kilo is valued at about 500 euros.

This does not mean that the gulas are not rich. Unlike. That is why Gastronomic Spain brings them home to you.
