The life story of the eel
Born in the weedy waters of the Sargasso Sea, the tiny leaf-like creature strikes out eastward to the inland waters of Europe. This transatlantic journey is only the beginning of the eel's exciting life.
Those who help to unfold the rest of the story include elver catchers in Gloucestershire, eel babbers in the Fens, eel fishermen on the Norfolk Broads, and a jellied-eel salesman
