Very interesting. Upon opening the Spicy Eel, the first thing I noticed was the amount of small bones in one of the pieces. Then I began to notice some more bones in other pieces. After some research I found out that once cooked, the small bones are edible and so I ate the strips, bone and all. I wasn't too sure about the flavor at first but after a few pieces it began to grow on me. The texture is similar to jerky.
