The spines of eels can also get stuck in your throat.
Eels, also known as white eels, are fish even though they look more like snakes on the outside. The bones of fish are what we call spines, and their bones all serve to support the body so that it can perform various activities more smoothly, and also to protect its internal organs from injury.
Relatively speaking, the spines of eels are shorter and thicker than those of other fish, with fewer tiny bifurcations, so the probability of getting stuck by the spines of eels may be smaller when eating them, but there is still a risk of getting stuck by the spines.
Therefore, we still can’t take it lightly when eating eel, we need to chew slowly and avoid laughing and talking when eating to avoid getting stuck by the fishbone.
