Surprised Eel Historian, PhD

Do you fear you've being cheated? That your barrel of eels isn't all it seems?

Fret not! In 1483, tired of shady salesmen -- especially Dutch & Scottish ones -- Parliament decreed that a barrel of eels must be full, & hold 42 lbs. of fish.

PLUS, all the eels must be edible!
