Facts:
Eels have no reproductive organs
Scientists are yet to see an eel egg
It is known that eels travel from freshwater to seawater towards the end of their life. (This is rare for fish! Most would die if they tried to do this!!!) They also go to specific locations to breed. American eels tend to go to somewhere near the SpaceX headquarters in texas (scientists put geotrackers on them to figure this out)
But no one has seen them actually breed.
Opinion:
Based on these facts, eels are aliens.

Search for eel life cycle on Wikipedia
My opinion
Aliens underwater is very plausible. We give assumptions based on our own understanding of how WE’D navigate water (“we need oxygen tanks”, “we need subs”, “it’d be impractical to build a colony down there”).
But Aliens probably have whole bases or cities deep underground & underwater.
throw some unagi sauce on that b**** and grill em over charcoal
rather have alien eels than aliens from outer space that can kill you tho tbh
eel delicious
