Puna has choke eels around the coast.

i'm certainly no eel expert, just going by what i had always heard from old timers and then reinforced with what i found by eventually giving the common one a go myself about 10+ years ago. looked up a filipino recipe in that case. our conclusion after several tentative bites: "tastes like ....eel. >shudder<". from what i read now, sounds like the moray eel may hold added risk for Ciguatera poisoning as well. i have become increasingly cautious about Ciquatera.

the white eel here is the prime one to eat.
