Glass Curiosities: Furnace Eel is a rarefied holiday tradition in Murano | The GLASS Quarterly Hot Sheet

You cook it, i will give it a try.

i'm in!

Isn't a Murano a SUV?

Pauls,

murano is an island outside venice where all of the glass factories are. its the mecca for glass blowers.

Ill pass on eel. Thanks just thinking about it:yak5:

I'd try it, but I'll try anything.

Save the salt for the tequila shots, the bay leaves for the gumbo and the eels for the canal! Otherwise....:yak5:

I love eel. But then again, I love pretty much anything from the sea...

Just curious why you guys all think it is gross. What makes it any different from any other delicious sea creature we eat? Fish, Squid, Uni, Skate, Shrimp, Lobster, etc.... I'd take eel over bluefish any day of the week!!

big 3ft eels skun and cut into 2inch peices deep fried taste like cat fish or horn pout..

Eels are very tasty.

Some kind of Eel roll whenever I'm getting sushi is a must. Its freakin $ :uhuh:

Is the Glass Quarterly as riveting as it appears?:)

I also love eel. It's one of my favorites at sushi joints (Where it is broiled, not raw).Muranos glass works, by the way, were put on this island because of the fire hazard they posed for Venice.

I'm in!!!!

Yep. This is true about the fire hazard. Also, they wanted to make it hard for the maestros to escape to Germany where they could make a lot more money. The fable is that the dodge of Venice would send assassins after glass blowers and kill them with glass daggers if they left.
