5.1K views · 69 reactions | Joe Henry of Lake of the Woods Tourism shows how to clean an eelpout. Other names for an eelpout are burbot, freshwater cod, or poor man's lobster. Anglers will boil, broil or fry them. Some anglers will cut the backstraps into cubes, boil the meat in either 7UP or salt water and dip the morsels into melted butter and say it resembles lobster.
