I too think Eel is delicious. As Collossus says skinning it is the tricky bit. I was told to skin it then to drop it in a pan of salted boiling water for 20 minutes and then enjoy. It must have been good as even Swmbo enjoyed it too.

Remember, some people are alive simply because it is illegal to shoot them.
A bloke shewed me years ago that to kill an eel whack it on the tail end about 2 inches up from the tip and it works.I#ve killed a few this way.tasted ok skinned with pliers ,dusted with flour shallow fried with loads of pepper.A few years ago they said not to eat them if they were caught in the wansbeck as they had too much heavy metal in them..iron maiden,whitesnake an all that.
used them myself for pike baits micky and the best way i found to despatch them is to hit them on the back above the vent, apparently there is a major nerve point there?

eels are superb baits to have during the warmer months when you\'re on a 4 or 5 day bivvy session as they remain useable after the more commonly used pike baits have defrosted and gone to mush. had a good few pike on them too although i do rate several baits above them.
I lived there over 20 years ago. There was a herring stall on every corner then. A lot less now. I used to find it very difficult to pass one without having a herring or an eel sandwich. Probably why my name\'s Colossus
