Had several dozen dead eels given to me this weekend. Skinned about a dozen or so . Rest went into the freezer for future use (Wife's thrilled...). I have the skins in a jar with a heavy liquid brine solution (sea salt). Somewhere I remember reading that it needs to be more of a paste. Can anyone refresh my memory a bit? How long are the skins good for? Do you take the skin off the plug after use and put it back in the brine, etc.?
