I don't mind eels
Except at meals.
And the way they feels.

Wouldn't get a decent sized portion of jellied eels out of that lot!

reminds me of a movie where this guy was fishing for eels with a horse head. GAK! Can't remember the name of the movie ...

The Tin Drum had a scene like that. Messed up movie.

I have had to fight to get some recent images to open, this one included.
I think I may have finally gotten it by enabling third party cookies.
Why should the IOTD need third party cookies?

I don't think this is anything Cellar-related. The image is hosted on cellar.org so there are no third parties involved.

they look like the things from Matrx 2 or 3.

Glass eels.. Way classier than the common Plastic eels.

Despite all the progress of feminism, eel catching remains a male-dominated industry, and now we know why.

It's the glass eeling, folks, and it is time to change.


I'm here till Sunday. Try the unagi.

Oh dear. Zen, that was really goodbad.

It doesn't seem right to refer to them as seafood when you cannot see them.

I'd be afraid to touch them. What if they break?

Glass Eels Hit $950 Per Pound

Are they being served with a crepe there?
