Clampet Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Yep, they now have live Eels for sale at the No Frills Grocery store fer $8.99 per pound. They are difficult to see as they are lying motionless at the bottom of the live tank (aquarium) amidst the carp.

Looking for something special to wrap up for a buddy of mine. We like to exchange weird gifts at Xmas.

fish_finder Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Yep, they now have live Eels a swimmin' next to the battered Carp in the live tank .................] They have battered carp in the live tank?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuchikubo Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 They have battered carp in the live tank?? I believe he meant battered as in "beaten up" and not covered with flour. Most fish tanks in grocery stores have too many chemicals in them to prevent slimy growth in the tank (also prevents slime from forming on the fish, thus the stress causes the fungus and other problems). I try never to buy store fish, fresh caught is soooo much better!! Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LM AO Brian, I guess it must be the bad karma I got for thinking the following statement is so true: "Chinese people will eat anything with legs and moves, except maybe for table and chairs." and this one: Q: "How do you know Adam and Eve were not Chinese?"

charlesn Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 They had to move the tilapia because the eels would eat them. But not even an eel would eat a carp. lol j/k Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I was given some smoked eel last night and in the spirit of the recent talks I gave it another try (along with some smoked mackerel). Maybe the first batch I had was off or something, this stuff was alright. Like any other smoked fish I guess just a bit greasy. The mackerel was excellent.

JohnF Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Here's a favourite. Freshly Set Jellied eels Aaaaaach! That looks just like what I ate in a sushi bar one night. I thought the round hollowed out thing was a piece of fruit or vegetable with the pit or core removed. It had an odd texture for something that grew on a plant though, so I asked what it was. I almost yakked on the table when the restaurant owner (a friend of mine) said it was eel. Good thing for him I'd already swallowed. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehg Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Smoked eel is great! Always getting some from the sushi chefs in my work places. Very healthy source of Omega 3's. Tried it for the first time at a Holiday Inn in Sault Ste. Marie when i was 10 yrs. old. Unfortunately there is a sense of closed mindedness to these 'no frill' threads.

Lungelarry Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) If you look at the graph you will see that in 1930 ,1000 tonnes of eels were caught and sold to the European market.
