Eel in NH

[Ianab]

Locally freshwater eels are usually smoked, like salmon would be. Very nice

They can be cooked in a curry, that seems to be the Scandanavian way, of if you are out camping and are just hungry, fried over the campfire is fine too

Like the folks say, watch the water quality where they are caught. They are very long lived fish and could easily accumulate toxins as they are at the top of the food chain.

Cheers

P.S. this is the pet eel that lives in my backyard. Different species, but probably a distant relative.

No pic, but i caught one fishing... not sure what eel species.. but it had like 7 holes down the side of its head, my guess the gills or whatever.

THing had the thickest slimiest slime ive ever seen, water like wouldnt wash it off, it kinda stuck. YIKES. never seen one since.

PS just some pics i found on GOOGLE. Images.

looks like kinda parasitic eel, cant remember the scientific name..
will they hook on your ass and suck your nuts off when you r swimming? lol
