Now it’s official, I’m not a cook. I really don’t like it.
Some time ago a friend (yes, really, a friend) gave me a big fat eel. I put it in the freezer and thought it was smooked. Yesterday I decided that my freezer needed a defreeze. Practically the only thing that was left in it was that big fat, really nice looking eel. No problem, I could prepare that, couldn’t I? Just take the skin off. And who wouldn’t like a smoked eal on toast? So I planed to have that for dinner. Saved me from cooking a real meal didn’t it?

But it wasn’t smoked at all. It needed cooking. And yes, you can find all kinds of nice recipes on the internet but I did not have the ingredients that is needed at all. No green herbs for the eel in green. No onions and such. And of course it was too late for groceries.

So I decided to cook it in oil, some salt and pepper. The pure taste of the eel.
That’s how I know for sure, I’m not a natural… It did not taste good, not good at all. Maybe I waited too long in the defreezing proces, maybe I did not cook it long enough. I don’t know, but it was not good at all. I’m affraid it all ends up in the dustbin.

My whole house smells now. For how long? Problably until tomorrow. I hope not until the day after. Windows open, maybe that helps…

Really, I don’t cook fish ever again.
Promise!
