Lamprey eels were and still are a large part of the diet of the coastal Indians of the North West. Most like them smoked but are good cooked just about any way. Most whites balk at eating them because of the slime on the outer skin(which comes right off ) and the fact that it reminds them of snakes. It is also handy that they run a little off season from the salmon runs and makes food gathering more handy for more of the season.
