I am not buying eel again.

Bastard bloody eel.

What happened with the eel?

It had too many bones in it, and the skin wouldn't come off, and Pablo Neruda vastly overplays the pleasures of Chilean conger eel chowder.

BAH!

I didn't know that eel was supposed to be skinned. Every time I've ever eaten it, it had the skin on.

Bugger me, you live and learn.

Why are you assuming you're in the wrong? I could equally have been misguided to try to skin the bits of eel.

As it was, the recipe said "eel, skinned".

I guess it's like chicken - sometimes you skin it, sometimes not.

Mind you, most of the eel I've had has been in SE Asian dishes, where the skin is considered the good bit on a fish.
