Reply to comment by DarkMuret in TIL eels swim from a lake in Australia through stormwater drains and across the ocean to lay eggs in New Caledonia where they die. Their eggs hatch and make the return journey back to the lake they came from. by Aussiewhiskeydiver

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.
