Health concerns; heavy metal toxicity

Perhaps worth noting that eels, being apex predators or quite high up in the food chain, bioaccumulate much heavy metal.

Some references worth reading and incorporating into the article include:

Religious & Biblical attitudes toward eels as food

The article seems to assert that the "King James version of the Old Testament" has specific attitudes toward eels as food. This is an erroneous assertion as the "King James" is a translation of an original biblical text, and the translation does not have any attitudes toward eels as food distinct from the original biblical text.

The Bible is the source of biblical dietary prohibitions, not the "King James" translation of the Bible. The version of the biblical translation is irrelevant, biblical dietary prohibitions exist in all translations including the "King James."

The text should not refer to the "King James" version at all as there is no practical distinction in the diction of that specific translation. Rather the reference should be just to the "Bible." Bukharian (talk) 06:23, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak evidence for eel blood toxicity in food context

The citation [4] of a NYT blurb published in 1899(!) describes eel blood as toxic to mammals when injected intravenously. Is this really applicable to eel as food? 122.213.193.194 (talk) 15:12, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
