Eel pie is available in less places anymore but it was once quite the dish in the east end (working class neighborhood) of London.
I get all the eels I need in my backyard that is a beach on the Shrewsbury River. I cook them in the Portuguese style with onions, tomatoes are and garlic in olive oil. I have a couple of pots and use broken claims and mussels for bait. The best bait is female horseshoe crabs but they are now protected.
I remember the days when Delaware Bay had horseshoe crabs all over the roads going to the boat ramps, but not any more. They are also protected in Delaware and Md. What did you catch with horseshoe crabs?
