Devon Eel Company LTD

Located in the countryside of Colyton, a few miles from the Devon coastline, Meadowland Smokery is a family-owned business first established as Devon Eel Company in 2017 by Neil Fuzzard.

Prior to this, Neil had been working closely with The Dutch Eel company for over 15 years, Willem & Corine Rosendaal established their company in 2001 and passed the torch to Neil with ease after a loyal relationship in the fish trade. For the past four years, with the support of his son Ben, they have continued to distribute eels and carry on the legacy by supplying some of the most prestigious restaurants in the country.

With a background in the industry to which they supply, Ben has a wealth of understanding of what chefs aspire to, quality of ingredients and what is required to produce a product with the highest standards. When he joined his Father full time at the beginning of 2021, he was eager to use his creative pallet and start experimenting with smoking some new products. Smoked eel has an undeniably distinctive flavour, their delicate method, which unfortunately remains a trade secret, has been celebrated in over 50 Michelin Star restaurants in the UK.
