To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- European Eel: A long-lived, snakelike fish native to the rivers of Europe.
- Eel, Pie, and Mash: A common meal of poorer Englishmen for the last several centuries.
- Spontaneous Generation: The hypothetical process by which organisms would generate from non-living matter.
- The Eel Question: A matter of great debate for millenia - specifically: how do eels reproduce and where do they come from?
- Sargasso Sea: A region of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Bermuda bounded by four currents forming an ocean gyre that is recognizable by the large presence of Sargassum seaweed.
