It’s 9:48am and I have just returned home with this bag. Its contents? Eels.
Tonight I am making all I pebre, a traditional eels stew with my senora. I plan on documenting the whole things but having eels in the house made me too excited to wait until later. I have no idea how to make it, but I do know that I was informed to go to the market and purchase 2 kilos of potatos, 2 cebollas and 3 anguillas. This will probably be my favorite task today.
I was going to photograph the woman (eelmonger?) preparing my critters but I figured it’d be better to leave those pictures off of the blog. Basically, after ordering the woman fished three eels out of her tank, plopped them into a large, rectangular stainless steel box located next to a cutting board, knife and steel glove. Three minutes later, I am presented with the bundle of excitement you see above.
On the way home I had to stop several times on the walk home because I thought they were still moving.
Fresh.
