Cuisine & Edibility
Electric Eel
Not consumed — an ornamental and scientific novelty species kept in specialized aquarium exhibits; edible in principle but extremely dangerous to handle due to powerful electric discharge.
Zander
Lean, firm white flesh with a delicate, mild flavor and nearly no fat; boneless fillets are easy to work with. The most prized freshwater eating fish in Central and Eastern Europe.
Species Overview
Electric Eel
Despite its name, the electric eel is not a true eel but a knifefish. It can generate electrical discharges of up to 860 volts to stun prey and defend itself. About 80% of its body is dedicated to three electric organs.
Zander
The zander is the European equivalent of the walleye and one of the most prized freshwater predators in Europe. Its excellent low-light vision makes it a crepuscular hunter. Its delicate white flesh is considered among the finest of freshwater fish.
