Can I eat it?Not for much longer.
Eel (all sushi eel) are endangered right now and if we keep eating eel the way we do, that'll happen to them too.

This includes practically any eel anyone here has ever eaten. I stopped hunting to eat eel for this reason. It's the best sushi, but not 'kill the species' level best.
Ive had this conversation about whales with some Japanese colleagues (in Japan of course) and they just said But its so good, I dont care.

It's mostly a nostalgia thing for older generations that ate it Post-WWII when they were starving to death and it became a staple of lunch boxes. The government has to subsidize the whale fishers because demand for the meat is so low.

When I lived in Japan, my colleague told me he used to eat whale as a kid (before it got outlawed (and then un-outlawed) and he said everyone he knew thought it was bland and gross and they only ate it because one whale produces a lot of meat and because of tradition.

It looks AIA lot of obscure animals do. Which is why AI fooling people sucks.
