I've checked in the urban dictionary and this is the definition applicable here:
Wigan term for a freshwater Eel found in the area in the canal, River Douglas or ponds. Occasionally eaten as a delicacy by some locals
'I went out carp fishing but all I got was snigs'
'I was in St Patricks Club and two lads tried to sell me a dead snig for a Fiver...'
Apparently, an edit was suggested.

I tend to like fish, Sue, but I wasn't keen on the eel as it was very greasy. However, I think that's because my Mum fried it in a frying pan, possibly with onions, if I remember rightly.

The eel I tried was caught by my Dad - he never goes fishing except for one expedition when I was little. He brought home two live(!) eels and they were put in a big bowl of water on the kitchen bench, but, being very slippery, they immediately escaped out of it and ended up behind the washing machine.

Young eels are "elvers", tiny little glassy things about 2" long, which in season, you can catch by the bucketfull at places like Knott End, on the Wyre River estuary.
They ALL originate from the Gulf Of Mexico, & travel across the Atlantic via the Gulf Stream. They head for river estuaries & travel upstream, & on wet nights they can move across land into other streams & ponds..then they grow & are then known as Eels, or the nickname "Snig"

Snig - is the name of a young anitmal in it's second phase of development. ...............
From - 'The Chemistry of Growth and the Food Value of
the Common Eel'
BY R. A. MoCANCE, Department of Medicine, Cambridge.
Table 1 gives the percentage composition of anitnals
at four stages of their development.
1) Elvers
2) Snigs
3) Yellow eels
4) Silver eels
RESULTS
The chemical composition of whole eels :-
The ELVERS - were
of the order of 0-25 g. in weight.
The SNIGS averaged 9-4 g.
The YELLOW EELS analyzed for Table 1 averaged 197 g.
The figures given for the
SILVER EELS are the means of one batch which averaged
197 g. and another which worked out at 1400 g.
Size made little difference to their percentage composition.

Snig? - A 'Wigan' word? - !

Nouns:
A young or small eel; a grig.

now drop em in a batter made with ale, and cook untill crispy.

When I was a kid, an old bloke who lived near my Grandad had a pet eel which he kept in his bath. He had had it for years and he had been on the local news with it. He would let the kids come in and see it and it had virtually gone white, taking on the same shade as the enamel bath. I have often thought of this now and wonder what would happen today if an old bloke came out and said, "Oi kids, wanna have a look at me white eel?!"There would be a vigilante group outside of his house! I still remember the old chaps name was Priestley and he was George Formbys uncle. Nice old bloke. My Grandad would eat snig regular and would make me eat em when I was a kid. When I am in London, the cockneys knock me sick when they eat jellied eels, mash and something called liquer which is basically the stuff that comes off the eel when it is cooking and which they pour over the mash.

Here's an old recipe for eels. Skin and gut the eels and place on an old bread board. Marinate over night with 1/2 glass of single malt whisky and a large knob of best butter. In the morning place two cloves of garlic in the fish pour over 1 tub of cream and with two tablespoons of brandy and honey. Place chopped onions and mushrooms around the edges of the fish and cover with some roast chestnuts which have been soaked in brandy. Cook on a low light for 6 hours, until the juices are running from the fish. Remove from oven, throw the eels away, and eat the board.

dennisd's post - kill the eel - reminded me of Freddie Foster's 'Childhood memories - Scotsman's Flash'.
The bit where he says, "I tipped all the fish into a bucket of water and they started to swim round. I had to stab them all in the head with a pair of scissors to kill them before they were scaled, filleted and fried for tea"!
'stab them all in the head with a pair of scissors'!

Still a few people trying to be the "big I am" and some trying to step into "some people's" shoes, and failing miserably, but better than it was.

A good thread like this now ruined by the clown who accuses everyone else of ruining threads.
No wonder that after numerous attempts to join, he was rejected by the rejects.

Sing - Eel and Elver always taste better if after they have been caught (and while they are still alive) they are kept in a large tank of freshwater for at least a couple of days with no food. This allows them to purge there system, they then taste a lot better .....
