Eel fisherman Shane O'Neill fries eels after a morning's fishing on Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, August 29, 2013.

But it is becoming an increasingly rare delicacy as numbers are plummeting and fishing being cut under European regulations to help reverse declines and make numbers sustainable. Fishermen on the United Kingdom's largest lake, the shallow grey-green and nutrient rich Lough Neagh in Northern Ireland, believe their traditional industry and way of life may be coming to an end.
