Where I grew up eel fishing was still a very lucrative activity.
The best locations were a closely guarded secret, apparently placing the mesh cages was a real skill and something passed down between generations, always kept in the family.

There are a few scenes where they show him executing large deals, and yes the buyers were all Asian.
