elvers are eaten tiny - when they say grown eels - they don't mean grown very large.
And it's a serious problem. The worlds eel stocks are being wiped out by people overfishing the elvers as they come back from the sargasso sea to mature in land in freshwater.
So with fewer eels maturing and returning to the oceans to breed every year, there are fewer elvers and more bastards trying to catch them.
Bloody japanese have a lot to answer for.
A full grown eel is hands down the best fish you can possibly smoke. because of the high fat content and firm flesh hot smoked eel is the king of smoked fish.
How long full grown eels will exist if the current overfishing continues - is anyones guess.Made In England - Fine Tuned By The USAJust call me 'One Grind'

I work with a guy who's wife is Chineese and they are always eating some different stuff. He doesn't buy the expensive stuff but he brings in for lunch these cans or little jars of eels or what looks like eel skins in some kind of sauce. It doesn't smell right and it just looks wrong.
He also eats some kind of Yak nuckle soup with tripe and who know what else in it. Along with assorted pickled fish, squid and some eggs called 1,000 year old eggs. Oh wait... They gave up on the 1,000 year old eggs when his wife got sick on them.
I say to each their own..Smoke it.. and they will come!

Just caught this in the archives.... I have had hot smoked eel in Germany, and it was the bomb. The eel soup, not so much. And love the shit outta some unagi sushi/sashimi. It cracks me up when I hear folks get all repulsed over the thought of eating "eel". Especially when you bring it up at a smelt fry, or lutefisk dinnerOnce you go Weber....you never call customer service....

I can't stand takeawAy Chinese except maybe a good chicken chowmein.
And I agree with you on the whole Japanese depleting the ocean gig but now we got rich Chinese pushing up prices too and buying everything on a large scale.
Nothing against Asians what so ever but there are other people in the world that want food at an affordable price too.
NZ short fined Ella are the largest eel in the world, they were on river monsters.
I've personally seen one eat a duck.
Mate of mine breeds and smokes them and exports mostly to Europe and Japan, love smoked eelsigpic
