... oh no! ... it's only a small bowl now! 
As a footnote; My mother would not eat eels, when she was a girl she once saw a dead body in a river, ... infiltrated by eels!  ( ... hope you've all finished your breakfast?)

As I said above, I like eel when it's part of a Japanese meal (SUSHI), but dislike most other forms of it....
A lot of restaurants nowdays (Higher class ones that is) tend to use 'baby eels'... hundreds if not thousands of the buggers on your plate, in your bowl & some even present them live & swimming....
It's a bit like extra chewy sphagetti (at least the dish I tried), the kids liked it as did the wife... certainly not my cup of tea.
Conga eel on the other hand is quite tasty...
Not sure if it still happens but a bunch of chip shops in the UK used to substitue it for real Cod...
It's a bit more oily but flakes the same & has pretty much the same taste as Cod when battered & fried. |

| ... on the subject of UK fish & chip shops (a national treasure), I have noticed since I have moved to the north of England (Sheffield) that the choice of fish is a bit sparce, sometimes it will be just 'fish', normally cod or haddock, but down south there would be a far greater choice; cod, haddock, rock salmon (dogfish), plaice, halibut and normally cod roe. Is it the same the further north you go? |
