Does eel sauce have eel in it?

In really depends on the restaurant or manufacturer. A lot of unagi specific restaurants use eel's heads and bones to create depth. However, homemade eel sauce rarely has actual eels in it.

Again, it really depends on the restaurant or manufacturer, whether they use eel bones in their sauce, but my homemade eel sauce recipe is vegan friendly.

Is there another name for eel sauce
