You're right - <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-27828006" rel="nofollow">BBC: Eels are endangered now!</a><br /><br />I guess we shouldn't eat unagi as often as we should. In the past it was a dish for special occasions. What I really dread is how much places like supermarkets are using (and possibly dumping) this endangered creature now.

This may help mitigate the extinction of unagi as Asia is growing and the liking for delicious Japanese cuisine like unagi will accelerate its extinction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456792684531861622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2068656129507965062.post-35402731375016737342016-02-11T16:55:14.589+08:002016-02-11T16:55:14.589+08:00The unagi is classed an endangered species from ex...The unagi is classed an endangered species from extinction due to extensive farming from caught frys. No known methods are available for farming from eggs stage since the unagi lives in fresh water lakes of and water ways of Japan and swims 3,000 kms to Guam to lay their eggs. Then the hatched frys swim back the 3,000 kms from where their mothers came but are caught and sold to unagi farms where they grow from 40mm to 200 to 250mm lngths. This is unsustainable and measures are in place to limit the farming practice plus those wild caught adults that are on the way to lay eggs. Unagi prices have hence skyrocketed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14456792684531861622noreply@blogger.com
