I attended one of the public comment meetings in CT on eels that the ASMFC and the CTDEP put on. THe largest commercial processor of amercian eels spoke at this meeting. According to him the amount of eels sold for recreational fishing purposes is "miniscule" compared to the total amount processed. I asked him where they go, and his response was overseas - mostly europe, then asia.
If they could manage to keep the "American" eel in America, I don't think there would be a problem anymore. Let them eat European eels.
