Eels...

I don't know about the eels you're catching but I think the freshwater one's I've had taste like catfish. You'll probably have good luck if you google catfish recipes so maybe try one of those that looks good.

Much meatier, oilier, and denser flesh than catfish IMHO

Cannibal!

I had some fried fillets of eel in Macau this afternoon. They came with an olive oil dressing chock full of chopped garlic and spring onion and went down very well with chilled rose.

#27 is a bragger! phooey

Quote: Some people are being put off by eel's "unhygenic" food habits (they are carnivors and predators).

So are most of us.....

#12 -- I think I just saw elvers for sale in Chinatown NY. two or three inches long, pure white except for two black eye dots. If they weren't elvers I don't know what they could have been. They looked to me like the kind of thing you would dredge in flour and deep fry.

#30 They might have been loaches. (Those are good eatin', too!)

Now- have all of you tried sea eel as well? I'm sure most sushi restaurants now serve both 'unagi' (river eel) as well as 'anago' (sea eel). They are quite different, and I know a lot of people here who cannot handle the rich, oiliness of river eel, but have no problems eating sea eel.
