No, I haven't done any searching for eels yet. Too much procrastination,
I'm afraid. Someday...  There are several local places I will be trying,
including Asian markets where I see various fish on ice and Central
Market may be able to order it for me if they don't have it in stock.
For a while I was getting smoked fish there.

Master Chirhart, would you please send me the eel recipes when you
send them to Olwen? I'd like to add them to the eels-msg file.

Eels seem to have been a fairly commonly raised fish. They seem to
have raised them in mill ponds, much as we do these days with catfish.

I just looked it up, and "Food" by Waverly Root has a fair amount of
material on eels.
