I have caught many of the slimy buggers and always cursed tehm for biting ans sliming up my line and turned them loose. No one around here ever ate them. I saw that tv show with the ole boy who traps them and smokes them the other day and am thinking we may try them one day. When caught they are incredibly slimy.

I have had eel sushi before. That is about it, I have never done anything but toss them back.

I think I have seen that show Cappy was talking about.

The few times I've caught eels was in waters where eating them (or any fish) wasn't a good idea. Otherwise they can be quite good to eat.

I kinda skipped through it, but you can find how to do anything on youtube.

Crocodile Dundee there needs to sharpen his knife bad. I did get the part about keep them on ice over night to help with the slime.

We used to catch large ones in Chesapeake Bay. I never like them and never ate them.
I used to eat sushi eel, but got sick once and never have touched them since.
