There was a guy I knew of on Long Island who trapped and smoked eels. He was a heavy drinker and died in a boating accident. Hit a channel marker in his skiff. Another man upstate off the Delaware smokes eels also. Built his house form river stones and puts up an eel weir in the river every year. Smoked eels are super tasty. Even a pate of smoked bluefish is awesome.
sometimes people think eel looks gross but personally, its just a long fish to me. will say the bigger ones look more appetizing but the way the japanese do it looks the best with the slow grilling and sauce
Oh yeah, I love smoked eels as well as grilled eels. When we grill em we char them and they are so good, our smoked eels we do with alder wood and can them in half pint jars.
Just found your Channel and subscribed.. took my boys out tonight (July 2024) Delaware river and we caught 3 eels.. skinned them cleaned them up and tmrw will be making them grandmas way.. Thanks for the video. Now I have a plan for tmrw..
Wondered when you were going to another Trash or Treasure video. This one certainly surprised me. I wasn't aware eels were native to Florida. Thanks for sharing!
4:55 It's still moving!! So glad i wasn't rasied Woke lol. A younger veiwer from Toronto Canada enjoying your videos! love the taste of EEL i always order it at the Sushi Bar. FOLKS i was skeptical about Sushi for the longest time till a good friend dragged me in & so glad she did got to try little portions of raw/cooked meat. Highly recommend the cooked Eel, White Tuna & meatless Crunchy Roll. Keep creating the great videos BGC.
Good video my friend ! Late in watching but still good job on this one ,,BUT ,,,,,, I think i would still prefer a RIB EYE MEDIUM THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA....
Fish eel? Where I live, we have lampreys. They are a problem as they pray upon the trout and other fish that my area is known for. Are lampreys edible? Are they tasty? I guess if times get tough they will become table-fare. Does anyone know how to make them tasty? I've heard that they have an off taste.

I love these videos, thanks for making them and showing people not to be so picky about their food.

Eels are tasty and great fun catching overnight.
Hi there. Great video. Never knew you could eat eel. Looks like catfish. Very interesting. 👍👍👍❤...
I really like your channel as a whole but these are my favorite type of videos, trash or treasure.
Just not as many trash fish as there are good fish. Only one I haven't done that live in these waters is Mudfish (bowfin).

Not every day you catch a NEW trach fish.
Looks like a good snack.
