And in this context your concern is that the eel not be frozen prior to
being smoked?

Looking at this:

I find this:

Fisherman Alex Villani, who fishes off the coast of Mattituck, Long
Island, has some good news about local fish: "The stocks have never
been better. Every year is better and better. This year, for the first
time in the United States, there's not one species of fish that's
over-fished." That's good news for New Yorkers who like meaty local
fish like bluefish, monkfish and eel. Villani and his wife, Stephanie,
own Blue Moon Fish and are well-known at Union Square, Grand Army Plaza
and Tribeca greenmarkets in the city. They've been selling smoked local
fish since 1995 when Alex built their first smoker out of an old
refrigerator.

Of course! If it's smoked, it's not "fresh"

Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does.

Reminds me of the time when I went to the sprmkt to get in on the
fresh shrimp sale and discovered the shrimp were all cooked. When I
complained to the mgr about it and attempted to define "fresh" he
immediately came back with "what about fresh baked bread?".
Apparently, I'd not been the first customer to complain, that day.

Have you never eaten old smoked fish? Smoked fish is best the day
it's smoked, smoked fish doesn't age well. And naturally one should
smoke only the freshest fish, not woofy fish.
