Tainted Eel

The New York Times has run another article today on tainted seafood from China, this time focussing on an eel factory in the southern Chinese city of Taishan.

If you want a better idea of where your eel sushi is coming from, I strongly urge you to read the article. And you should definitely check out the accompanying photo slide show of the eel factory—great pictures. (Photos by Chang W. Lee for the New York Times, including the two I’ve cribbed here).

In The Zen of Fish I write about the amazing life cycle of the eel—where and how eels have sex remains one of nature’s great mysteries—and describe how they are caught as babies in rivers all over North America and Europe and shipped live to these Chinese factory farms.
