Fish from your fisherman from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

The eel, which is up to 150 centimeters long and weighs up to 6 kilograms, looks more like a snake and less like a fish. That's why he is caught in fish traps, because he would slip through the nets. Before he gets to our coastal waters, he has had a long journey: he comes with the Gulf Stream from his nursery in the Southwest Atlantic, Lake Sargasso. The fishing season is from July to September. The eel has been named fish of the year several times because its firm meat is very tasty, both roasted and smoked or steamed.
