Traditional east London foods are jellied eels and pie and mash, although their demand has significantly declined since World War II. The European eel and other freshwater eels are eaten in Europe, the United States, and other places. Eel is also popular in Korean cuisine and is seen as a source of stamina for men. Hong Kong eel prices have often reached 1000 HKD per kilogram and once exceeded 5000 HKD per kilogram. Eels are also very popular in Chinese cuisine and are prepared in many different ways.
įreshwater eels ( unagi) and marine eels ( anago, conger eel) are commonly used in Japanese cuisine foods such as unadon and unajuu are popular but expensive. Japan consumes more than 70 percent of the global eel catch.
Similarly, according to the King James Version of the Old Testament, it is acceptable to eat fin fish, but fish like eels are an abomination and should not be eaten. The Jewish laws of Kashrut forbid the eating of eels. The toxin derived from eel blood serum was used by Charles Richet in his Nobel Prize-winning research, in which Richer discovered anaphylaxis by injecting it into dogs and observing the effect. Įel blood is poisonous to humans and other mammals, but both cooking and the digestive process destroy the toxic protein. Only members of the family Anguillidae regularly inhabit fresh water, but they too return to the sea to breed. Some species of eels live in deeper water on the continental shelves and over the slopes deep as 4,000 metres (13,000 ft). Sometimes, they are seen living together in holes, or "eel pits". A majority of eel species are nocturnal and thus are rarely seen. Most eels live in the shallow waters of the ocean and burrow into sand, mud, or amongst rocks. The dorsal and anal fins are fused with the caudal or tail fin, forming a single ribbon running along much of the length of the animal. They possess no pelvic fins, and many species also lack pectoral fins. Adults range in weight from 30 grams to over 25 kilograms.
They will not harm corals in a reef environment, but are more suitable to FOWLR systems due to the fact that half of the cleaning crew may be added to the dinner menu.Eels are elongated fish, ranging in length from 5 centimetres (2.0 in) to 4 metres (13 ft). Tank mates should be considered carefully and can generally be other large predatory species (i.e., Groupers, large Angels, Puffers, Boxfish, Scorpion fish, Lionfish, Butterflyfish, etc.). This species should not be kept with shrimp, small lobsters, crabs, or any fish that can fit in its large mouth as they will quickly become snacks (large hermit crabs and snails should be fine). In addition to quality biological and mechanical filtration, an efficient protein skimmer is also recommended as Wolf Eels can be quite gluttonous when feeding and will have a large biological load on the system. They are not generally known to be jumpers, but should be kept in an aquarium with a hood or tight-fitting lid to help prevent their escape. Wolf Eels require an aquarium of at least 90 gallons along with plenty of live rock for hiding and hunting (they love caves and crevices) they should also be provided with a fine, sandy substrate as they often rest on the bottom of the aquarium, laying in wait for prey to crawl or swim by.
