“My hovercar is full of eels!”

In English-speaking countries, they are called “elvers” or “glass eels”: in England they were a popular fried food until the early 90’s. The collapse of the fishing industry, however, has completely altered their value and they now cost as much as caviar!

We have a copy of Dorothy Hartley's "Food in England," the book which introduced me to elvers. Weird how it went from an inexpensive common food to an expensive rarity.

Slide over.

You can charge more for electric eels.
