Looks good Tom, how is that cooked ? is it boiled then the fat that comes out of the eel is left to set into jelly?
smoked eel is pretty good, roasted eel is just as good as smoked..

It's cooked in a special savory sauce,



Wash the pieces of eel thoroughly under cold running water.

Place the pieces of eel in salt water and let it soak for 5 minutes.

Rinse well under cold running water, then place the eel in a heavy 4- to 5-quart stainless-steel or enameled saucepan.

Add vinegar, sliced onion, peppercorns, bay leaves, salt and water, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Transfer the pieces of eel to a baking dish (8x12x2-inch) With a slotted spoon, and stir the lemon juice into the cooking liquid. Discard the peppercorns.

Then pour the entire contents of the pan over the eel, spreading the onion slices on top with a fork.

Sprinkle evenly with the parsley, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. When thoroughly chilled, the liquid should form a soft jelly.

Cut eggs crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and arrange them attractively on the jelly and serve directly from the bowl.

The jelly is the slime then, it congeals! I think they live in dead people at the bottom of the Thames, come up with the body parts of those that passed and sticking out their heads. Yummy!thumbs up
