I’ve had two kinds of interactions with glass eels. I’ve been swimming in the Gulf of Mexico and been swarmed by them. They are surprisingly docile, more so than typical fish. I have also eaten glass eels, which are legit delicious so I understand that market.
Having experienced how docile they are in the wild I feel a bit bad about previously having eaten them. No rationale; glass eels have a sweet demeanor that makes them easy to anthropomorphize.
