Last Updated: 2024/11/05, Wild eels are about 60-90 centimeters long and weigh about one kilogram, with a maximum length of 130 centimeters and a weight of about five kilograms. However, most of the Japanese white eels we usually eat are farmed adult eels, which are usually about 40-50 centimeters long and weigh about 150-500 grams.

Wild eels are about 60- 90cm long and weigh about 1kg, up to 130cm long and weighing about 5kg. However, most of the Japanese white eels we usually eat are cultured adults, usually about 40-50 cm in length and weighing about 150-500 grams, that is, between six tails and one kilogram.

But there are exceptions.

A 65-year-old fisherman in Bremerhaven, Germany, has captured a 2.4-meter-long eel weighing 75 kilograms, which is believed to be the largest eel ever found.

The eel was caught by a fisherman named Willig, who had been fishing since 44 years ago. "I caught this eel in the Visse River," Virish said. On the morning of October 28, I began to lay nets on the river as usual, and towards noon I began to pull them. I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled up the net. There was an oversized eel in it. I thought it was a catfish." Judging by its size, the eel must be at least 100 years old, mr virish reckons.
