Description:

"Proudly provided by a Morro Bay fisherman who had a zillion of them. ""Slime eels bring in 90 cents a pound, that's better than tuna or albacore right now, and we ship them live to Japan."" He then proceeded to demonstrate how the hagfish's secretions from the 'portholes' on their sides expand tremendously when exposed to water, creating handfuls of slime from a single fish."
