Do Not Mess With Fish 71!

And You Thought Fish Were Fun, well certainly not this one, it is a 10ft conger eel, caught by sea fisherman Dean Corbett of Torquay, Devon, sold it to fishmonger Matt for £50, Matt, of Jackson Ltd, Newton Abbot, Devon, is now asking if anyone will buy the giant eel whole before he cuts it into pieces, He said: 'It is the biggest one I have ever seen, we had one a few years ago that was 8ft, but this is 10ft, it is a vast specimen and weighs 46kg gutted, the largest conger eel caught in England was snared off Falmouth in Cornwall and weighed 210lb (95kg), the world record is held in Iceland for an eel weighing 305lb (139kg), I have to say it as a lad I enjoyed eating smoked eel, last year when I was in the UK two very small pieces of smoked eel, (about 200 grams) was £9.50 ouch! that was expensive, but so nice.
