I was reading about Japanese seafood and came across a type of conger eel called Anago (
穴子

).

Literally translated from Japanese into English, the name means “Hole Child”.

I was a little confused until I saw this image.

This is neat because these are Japanese traditional eel traps too! The cunningly effective trap is: these fish like tubes a whole lot. So much, in fact, that if you pull a tube out of the water, the eel will stay in the tube.
