When a hagfish feels threatened it may exude copious amounts of a milky, fibrous slime from around 100 glands on its vermiform body. This defense mechanism is known to clog the predator’s gills during an attack — forcing the predator to release the hagfish to avoid suffocation. 🪱 | Science Channel

Part 2! Hagfish, also known as slime eels, have been eating our Lobster bait before the Lobsters can get to it. I've heard of people catching these slime eels and I'm wondering it I can use them as Lobster bait. People use these eels for more than just bait, they dry them for leather, and even eat them! It got us thinking...what do they taste like? Well, lets find out! We're going to cook up a couple of the eels we catch and see how they taste! #Fishing #maine #lobster #interesting #DidYouKnow #
