my favorite online newspaper recently did a long form piece on eels and their decline in Italy ([1] - Italian only, sorry).
The comments mention a couple of books:
- Brian M. Fagan, Fish on Friday
- Patrik Svensson, The Gospel of the Eels (also wrote another book on eels)
maybe it's one of these two!

- flowerbreeze 1y agoThank you! Since you mentioned the decline of eels book that was in Italian, I finally remembered the title too since it wasn't in English neither. It was this book in Estonian: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17609869-angerja-teekond https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17609869-angerja-teekond. The title translated to English would be something like "The Journey of Eel" by Aadu Hint. Published in 1950, so I'm rather certain it makes more sense to read the newer books these days.
