The wels is a European catfish which grows to a maximum of about 9 feet in
length. It is alleged to have eaten children. I read about it some time
after I was in Europe and don't recall coming across it as an item of
cuisine. However, it is referenced in Root's Food. A one liner similar to
the opening sentence of this message.
