J's Reviews > Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels

Incredibly informative.
Focuses heavily on the eel fishing market, including the black market, and history of eel demand.

I had no idea eels were so sought after or that there were entire mafia organizations sneaking young eels across borders.
It also goes on to great length about the history surrounding the mistery of eel breeding and all the various theories that scientists had over the years.

Very enlightening, but ultimately a bit depressing as the tone is very focused on their overfishing and pushing the idea that eels may be more in danger than any one suspects.
