Depends on where your sushi chef gets his eel.....

Did you know that all unagi you can get from the Japanese and Asian
supermarkets, and a majority of the ones that the sushi restaurants
get, are mostly frozen/flash frozen, precooked unagi kabayaki, and
imported from China where they have the biggest eel farms in the world
(for unagi and anago)?

Wouldn't be endangered unless people are eating wild eel, which I
seriously doubt, as it is way easier to get the farmed variety...
