So it seems the Gippsland lakes are full of eels. What are some ways to prepare these buggers? I've tried smoking one and found it very strong flavored.

Really? Id say our eels here are very white fleshed and not strong, but can be quite fatty.
Are you de-sliming them before you smoke?

Might pay to google it.....

Stick them in a bag of salt and watch the results.

These are freshwater eels mate. Although the Gippsland lakes are salty to brackish. I had one swim between my feet the other day. Very popular here for shark baits.

Yeah the salt irritates them, and they slime out until all the slime is gone.

smoked eels are a real treat. Brine then for several hours and then use natural hot wood smoke. After an hour of hot smoking put a knife slit in the tail to drain a heap of fat/oil out before they are finished.
Google it but for Aussie eel recipes.

Vid is a bit long, but this is a good way to dislike them. means you can do it when they are dead.
