You need silver eel!. They are common around the UK shores in the summer months!. Most of them that are trapped in the UK are sold to the Dutch!. They pay more for them !. We get tons of them down here in Poole harbour Dorset!. We just boil them, and chop them up and add gelatin and seasoning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I am something of a gourmet, I believe, but honestly, I tried a pot of jellied eel, and it was nothing but SALTY JELLY! I presented it to my hungry cat, who licked it and pulled a face!. Jellied Eel!? Not even cat food!Www@FoodAQ@Com
