Eels account for hundreds of ducklings and fish roe and little fish every year...yes, their massive journey to mate is extraordinary but no less than that of salmon et al Not all go...the big monsters with the curly whiskers who delight in harassing you when you're doing the dishes on the side of creek or river, are thought to be maidens/barren females who for whatever reason decide not to go...no one is quite sure about why they do not go.
Smoked eel is divine and hell will freeze over before I stop taking the odd one...![]()
