1
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

Place the eel on a baking sheet and warm in the oven for 5 minutes.
3
Bring it out and inspect it for pinbones and extract any you find while it is still warm.

Place the eel in a bowl and, using a fork, shred it.
5
Add the potatoes, egg yolks, chives, mustard, and shallot to the eel and mix well.
6
Season with salt and pepper to taste.

If the texture appears too soft to form a consistent nugget, mix in a tablespoon or two of crushed cornflakes (from the crust ingredients) to help bind the ingredients.
8
Refrigerate for about 20 minutes or so, or until chilled.

Using your hands, shape the eel mixture into rectangular nuggets about 1 by 1 1/2 inches (2.5 by 4 cm).
