This eel weighs more than 6 kg, is 1.3 m long, has black spotted skin and a slightly silvery belly. Mr. Bang said: "In 2015, a local also caught one weighing 4 kg, and normally fish only weigh 1-2 kg, the fish I caught is the "giant" fish ever".
Eel is a type of catfish with high nutritional content, so some places take natural sources and breed them to become a high-end food item, priced from 400-500 thousand VND/kg.
