Yeah I gotta agree with Adam on that one.Eel is very similar in taste to catfish.But I remember watching my grandfather fry up an eel the only time I ever tried it.It curled up and uncurled and just slithered around that big ol' cast iron skillet.Looked just like a snake does after you chop their head off.They will crawl around the yard from reflex action for quite a while even though they are stone cold dead.But OMG do I love fried snapping turtle.I'm not a real big fan of sushi but after a few beers and with plenty of hot sauce I'll imbibe a bit.
