Socotran eels

Угри на Сокотре

A small fresh water stream in Archer  is a habitat of a big colony of eels.

The stream originates from the dunes and it is no more than 100 m long. However, it is full of eels that Socotrans do not regard as eatable (Muslims do not eat eels).

You can easily catch an eel with a piece of fish or meat. Just find a small creek and dip your bait into it. Eels have a good scent. Be patient and someone will certainly rise to the bite.

But there is no point to catch them. They are too bony and tasteless.

    Some theorists of literature consider Socotra to be the prototype of Prospero Island mentioned in Shakespeare's play «The Tempest».
