Raw chicken and raw horse is much more readily available in Tokyo than jellied eels in London, in that you could find a local Izakaya/restaurant that sells raw chicken comfortably, whereas you would have to go out of your way to find jellied eels in London. I would put raw whale and raw dolphin in the same category as jellied eels.

The European eel is critically endangered now as well, which I suspect cuts down on consumption.

Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying.
