I love the look of this – it looks so fresh and light but also comforting at the same time.

Oh yum. I love somked eel. First tried it years ago in Alastair Little’s restaurant, and have been hooked ever since! This salad sounds very tasty – if only we could have some rather more summery weather to go with it!

I had eel for the first time myself while on vacation in New Orleans and I loved it. Now I have a recipe to make it myself. Thank you!

This looks really really delicious! I am a huge fan of smoked eel as sushi, but I have never had it any other way – I have never really seen it any other way…man am I missing out!

I need to try eel again. I had a bad experience with jellied eels in a dodgy pie and mash shop on the Goldhawk Road a few years ago and thought that eels made me wretch.

From your photo I can see these eels are quite different from the ones I bought so I will keep an eye out for them.

It’s a pity people are put off on eel because it looks snake-like when it’s a fish.

Smoked anything is high on my list, this salad is divine!

I love smoked eel, we usually have it at Christmas as it’s rather indulgent. This sounds like a nice simple recipe to really let the eel shine through; the lasagne I made recently was derived from a Rowley Leigh recipe and it really impressed me.

Years ago my uncle used to come down from London (on the train!) with a huge bucket of live eels that he then transfered into our bath until we were ready to cook them for a huge christmas eve family meal. Peering over the side of the bath as a four year old has created an lasting image that has seriously put me off eels for life!

A thigh quivering inducing cookbook?

I haven’t had smoked eel for ages, I’m not sure if I’ve ever had it at home actually. I really do like it though and this looks great.

We had a Gruner Veltliner with our Thai dish on Sunday and it stood up very well to that, I can imagine it with smoky fish too.
