Show Elvers Have Place on German Tables Again Germans are happy, and elvers once more adorn the board of the hausfrau, for the British have regrant-ed regrant-ed permission, revoked In the World war, to Germany to catch the small eels which are plentiful In the English channel. Elvers are smoked before being eaten and are estimated a great delicacy by the Teutons. With the year following the regrant-Ing regrant-Ing of the privilege, Germans trawling traw-ling for elvers in English waters caught 3,000.000 eels, many of them being used for restocking 130 German Ger-man lakes and rivers. The eels are taken to Germany in containers, each holding 5,000. Fishing experts say that the eels migrate to the Gulf of Mexico to spawn, and that the young are carried back to European waters by the Gulf stream. |
