yeah last year in montauk i had about 10 skins left and a few guys found out while we where out there, they offered to pay $8 each for them, im not dumb so i agreed. paid for my gas on the way home. these were all big skins that I used for the lordship 40s.
The BIG eels usually cost me at wholesale about $3 to 4 each, thats direct from a seafood supplier we use at work.
i would think that $5 each is fair, but i just buy the whole eel and do them myself.
if you guys want i get the whole eels for you if you want to it your self. PM me and I can get them to you asap. Im not sure of the edges eta.
