How to use eel in a sentence?

1. Richard Freeman:

   I dont believe the eel theory has killed off the Loch Ness Monster, quite the reverse in fact, a giant eel, which can grow up to 30 feet, is a monster in every sense of the word.

2. Andrew Kerr:

   You can get up to 100,000 glass eels into a suitcase. And if they're leaving Europe at a euro each then that's 100,000...and then at the other end, you grow them on in a pond in China and a year later that's a million. A million euros worth, japan, China, South Korea, they are all great eel eaters. But remember, they're also re-exporting them to North America and back to Europe again.

5. David Guillot:

   I've been at sea for 30 years and I’ve never seen a shark that looks like that, it was like a large eel, probably 1.5 meters [5 feet] long, and the body was quite different to any other shark I'd ever seen.
