Great Post Nor easter. Thanks for sharing that experience with us. I don't know anyone who sorts out the bigger eels and starves them down for skinning and then sells them. periodically someone will post about doing it but they are doing it themselves for the skins. Its even hard to find good size eels on a consistant basis lately. Quaker Lane on RT 2 carries a zillion eels in season and usually they will let you pick your own. You might try culling out some big ones there and starving them down for yourself. The other option is to set you own traps.
One last resort you could try. Go to this web site. http://www.flyfishsaltwaters.com/
Click on the Bulletin Board option. Then go to Tony Stetzko's forum. Ask him about the eels. I believe that question was asked before and he might know someone who will sell eels like you want. That site is under repair right now but should be back up in a few days.
