Ginataang Kasili sa Dilaw (Eels in Coconut Milk and Turmeric)

This is a recipe of fresh water eels cooked in coconut milk with turmeric and chili. Most of the time, the four basic ingredients in cooking fish in coconut milk are ginger, onion, garlic and chili peppers. Fresh water eels meat are similar in texture to catfish and almost the same fishy odor. So if you like to eat catfish, then I think this recipe is a good choice.
