Things have progressed since the state of eel cultivation was mentioned in The Story of Sushi.  Back then, they made it sound like the birds and bees of eels was kinda black magic. And farmers weren’t truly farming eels, but catching them in an early part of their life-cycle and raising them in captivity.

Now it looks like farmed unagi is going to be the way of the future.  And the future looks full of NOM.
