When will we learn...

i watched a couple of old boys pulling eels out of the thames yesterday and decided that i was going to find some eels to eat and learn a bit more about them. I couldn't find any eel anywhere and i guess this is why:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jan/21/eel-thames-population-crash

had read up about them in my river cottage fish book too. amazing things eels. every single one, jellied or otherwise started life in the sargasso sea... the horse lattitudes.

weird thing is, is that the thames is cleaner than it has been for 40 years (it was declared ecologically dead in the 60s) but no one knows exactly why they're dying out at an alarming rate.
