Moonlighting by Michael Brown

Moonlighting by Michael Brown

Michael Brown, a young travel writer, received a call from a friend urging him to come down to the West Country to see the elver harvest. It changed the course of his life completely. He became fascinated by eels, quit his job, and started to make a living out of catching, exporting, smoking and curing eels. An inspiring, heart-warming memoir.

Michael and his wife, Utta, spent most of their working lives on the Somerset Levels, Michael involved in elvers and eels and establishing a smokery and later a smokery restaurant. Now retired they still live in the same house on the river Parrett where they stayed dry for over thirty years. Until January 2014 when one of the biggest floods ever seen on the Levels inundated their house and several others in the village of Thorney. They were to remain under water for over seven weeks.
