with Short-finned Eels Anguilla australis in the river at the Flip'n Bear Café near Katikati:

| The Methuselah of the deep (well the shallow actually but it doesn't sound so dramatic). |
 |
| See, even eels can rock climb |
 |
| Competition |

| Biggest wins |
 |
| Jaws |
 |
| Some people will do anything for a photo |
 |
| and some will do anything for a piece of bread |
 |
| Here's looking at you, kid |
 |
| Methuselah again with his crown |
 |
| I think this is one too many eel photos |

| Electric eel? |

Those must be pretty unique photos? Unless every tourist does that, what do I know... LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are great. Are they edible.....they actually look more so than the pancake.....that really was revolting.
ReplyDeleteGreat ... if you're into eels! Mind you, I like them smoked!
ReplyDeleteThese are such great shots! They are making me feel all tingly and wriggly all over again. My fingers were twitching and I found myself laughing nervously.
ReplyDeleteI don't know whether every tourist photographs them, Monica, but I think there's a good chance that mine won't be the only photos of those eels on a blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, Adrian, there is no shortage of ways of eating short-finned eels. As for the pancake..... One that size would floor me just by being in front of me.
Smoke, perhaps, Pauline but personally I'll leave them in the river. When I was in Berlin they used to sell small smoke eels from the riverside and you just unzipped them and ate them there and then. I never could do it.
Yes, Katherine, I think that that was one of the most memorable things I have done in quite a while.
