They are only a curse in places where there are an over population of them. My tribe and surrounding tribes in N. Calif. and Oregon have been eating them for ever. I wish I had a couple of them right now. When I was young, my Gram would build a fire on the beach where my uncles were catching eels and put down some flat rocks, pull the hot coals over the rocks until they were hot and then fry the eels on the flat rocks just like a frying pan. She would also make a bread dough, pretty much like a fry bread recipe and dig a hole in the hot sand and put in the bread and cover it with hot sand and pull hot coals over the top and in an hour would have the most wonderful hot bread and eels you could imagine. Oh those childhood memories. The tastes and smells are still embedded in my mind.

LOL the way you describe it that does sound good, now you went and made me hungry :)

Sounds delicious! But here on Lake Erie, they’re considered to be a pestilence! I certainly would try them at least once. My Shanghai-born lady friend cooks regular black eels every once in a while, and they’re wonderful. Except she makes me clean them, and they’re a pain to clean! Made myself twice-fried belt fish for dinner tonight. Kind of an eel like fish. I bought the smallest one they had at the Asian market. 3 feet long!

That sounds really good!
I haven’t had fry bread in ages!
