3. How to distinguish domestic eels from wild eels?

There is a folk saying that "dark color is wild eel and light color is domestic eel". In fact, this statement has no scientific basis, because the depth of eel color is determined by water quality, water layer and aquatic plants. When buying eels, you'd better look at the weight instead of the thickness. Eels that weigh more than100g and are active are considered excellent. In addition, the skin is soft, the meat is fine and the smell is odorless.

Attention should be paid to three points: 1, people with deficiency heat should not eat it, and 2, eels should be eaten immediately after slaughter, because it is easy to produce histamine in the process of parking eels after death, which is easy to cause poisoning and is not conducive to human health. There are many parasites in eels. Remember not to be greedy for fresh food. For the sake of health, it is safer to cook for a long time before eating.
