Fleek eels were a species of eel with gray skin, a defined dorsal ridge and a pink, fleshy opening to their buccal tunnel. Most species considered it a delicacy.[2] They could be found in the oceans of the planet Corellia and were caught by the fishermen of Coronet City, where they were a staple of the city's fishmarkets.[1] They were also fished in the Hocekureem Sea on Falleen.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
