Ah, ha! So eel *is* still available in some places. That's another
item that I've wanted to try since I started studying medieval foods
and reading this list.

Since it's been five or six months since it was last asked, anyone
have any sources for eel? It's not common these days but apparently
was commonly raised in medieval fish and mill ponds much as we raise
catfish today. Anybody know what else was raised in medieval ponds?
Did they raise any fish such as catfish? Catfish may be North American.
