I saw an eel the other day, pretty sure it was a long-fin eel, but didn't spear it cos I had no idea how to cook it...

Are they worth catching? How do you cook them?

not sure about this specific eel... but i think that most people arent so keen on most types of eel, so it usually smoked.

everytime ive had eel i havnt liked it, taste and texture. just all round i rekon its shit. but i mean different strokes for different folks. might as well shoot one and give it a try, rather than paying money for one.

not sure about that particular species, but i've had some great conger eel.
deep fried
simmered
grilled w/ sweet sauce

won't know until you try it

really? lol at comps the guys tht pick up conger say its shit... so they just chuck it into the bucket of no return.

wouldnt mind trying some tho im a bit weary coz all the eel ive had ive hated. just i dont fancy bring home soo much eel if im not gonna use it.. sorta a waste... haha i guess ill get around to trying some conger... maybe the same day i try dusky.

mm dusky can be great. conger is commonly known as anago and is much loved by the japanese. pretty sure its the same one (looks over shoulder for shadow)

yep haha anago was one of the times ive had eel.. was fried teriyaki...... i love teriyaki but i mean eel.... i hated.. haha.

actually hold that thought...i think it was anago.. it might have been unagi.. which i think is freshwater

For those who don't know and those that are a little green the bucket that the extra fish go into is not a bin! It's usually Josephs! He cleans and fillets them all for his family and friends!

If anyone is caught throwing away unwanted fish at a comp they are immediately disqualified! I understand that's probably what you meant Twitch, just don't want anyone thinking otherwise!
