Duke....can't help ya with the cormorant, but for the eel...(seriously)...

Take your eel and cut thru the skin all the way around it's neck, just below the fins.

Take a nail, and pound it thru the eel just above the cut into a tree. Take a pair of needlenose, grab the skin, and pull it off the eel.

Clean out the entrails, being sure to break the air bladder and clean out the blood in there.

Take a sharp knife, and run it down the backbone on each side, and then cut off the fillets.

Dredge in flour or seafood breader, fry it up in some butter/olive oil/garlic, and enjoy.

Believe me, if I made it and didn't tell you it was eel, you'd never know it was, and want MORE! Some of the best fish you'd ever taste....
