Eels make crazy journeys
American Eels can live as far inland as Minnesota, but will make a journey all the way to offshore Atlantic Ocean to spawn and die, and then their offspring make the trip back.

Every great scientific mind once asked themselves, "what are these motherfuckers up to?"

The next question they ask themselves is, "I wonder what they taste like?"

Eel is actually pretty tasty -- pickled, fried, or grilled.
Boiled Eel isn't too bad either.

Eel sushi is so good. I don't know or care what they do, I just want more of it please and thank you!

Sushi grade eel is hard to come by where I'm at, but I had some when I went out to San Francisco, it was phenomenal.

Anyway, like I was sayin', eel is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, eel-kabobs, eel creole, eel gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried.

Freshwater eels. They're catadromous. Which is the opposite of what salmon do, anadromous. American eels are born in the Sargasso sea in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and then migrate up rivers and streams to mature. They eventually migrate again to the middle of the ocean to spawn and die.

I used to catch slime eels on longlines...google them...

I googled them. They're hagfish. They eat them in Korea and Japan sometimes, so that's kind of gross. And when they talk about "eelskin" in wallets and stuff it's usually hagfish.

I listened to this awesome radiolab documentary on NPR about eels. The eels of the Mediterranean swim all the way to the Sargasso Sea!

That's where the American Eels spawn as well!
