Provided are an eel feed, a method for raising eel fry, and a method for producing cultivated eels, capable of producing cultivated eels having an aroma, flavor, and eating feel equal to that of natural eels. An eel feed obtained by adding to a mixed feed a raw material derived from mantis shrimp, in which only the tail portion is removed from the mantis shrimp and the head portion (head shell and content) and body portion (shell and flesh) are used as raw ingredients. The eel feed is appropriate not only as a feed for adult eel but also for eel fry. By cultivating eels using the eel feed, cultivated eels can be produced that have an aroma, flavor, and eating feel equal to that of natural eels. By giving the eel feed to cultivated eels, the amount of various amino acids in the flesh of the eels is increased.本發明為提供一種能夠生產具有不亞於天然鰻魚之香味、味道、口感之養殖鰻魚的鰻魚用飼料、鰻魚稚魚之養育方法以及養殖鰻魚之生產方法。本發明係將來自蝦蛄類之原料添加於配合飼料中所成之鰻魚用飼料，該來自蝦蛄類之原料為僅將蝦蛄類的尾部去除，並將頭部(頭部甲殼及內容物)以及身體部分(甲殼以及肉身)作為原材料。且該鰻魚用飼料不僅適用於鰻魚成魚，也適合作為鰻魚稚魚之飼料。藉由使用該鰻魚用飼料來養殖鰻魚，能夠生產出具有不亞於天然鰻魚之香味、味道、口感之養殖鰻魚。藉由給予養殖鰻魚該鰻魚用飼料，能夠使鰻魚肉中所包含之各種胺基酸量增加。
